We’re loving: Designstuff’s Scandi goodness + 15% off for you

Whether or not you’re a fan of the Scandi aesthetic per se, you’d be hard pressed to deny that the Scandinavians are masters of design. Many of the most timeless furniture and homewares icons hail from their part of the world and if you want to find them all in one place online in Australia, head to Designstuff.

Designstuff Ferm Living
ferm LIVING

The online store, which recently had its own stylish makeover, really is your one stop shop for beautiful, functional, simple pieces, to suit all budgets. And while much of what they sell isn’t cheap, you’re not getting mass manufactured knock-offs here, but the real deal, worth saving up for in our opinion. It’s even better when you can get 15% off though (more details below)!

Brands you’ll no doubt of heard of include ferm LIVING, BY LASSEN, MENU, muuto, normann COPENHAGEN, and OYOY. You’ll also find Australian brands with a Scandi aesthetic like zakkia, Miss Glass Home and Nathan + Jac.

Online shopping fix: Neutral Instinct

Inspired by the Leonardo Da Vinci quote: “Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication,” Amanda Tiernan left her job as a school teacher to open online boutique, Neutral Instinct.

Believing less is more, Amanda’s homewares have a distinct Scandinavian design edge. “Many of the products stocked by Neutral Instinct have a Scandi influence, which epitomises simplicity, minimalism and functionality,” explains Amanda. “I believe simple pieces can have a maximum effect when styled in the correct way.”

Sourcing her homewares from trade fairs and social media, Amanda wanted to create a store that not only stocked gorgeous products, but also gave customers inspiration on how to style them through beautiful images. “We recently completed our first photo shoot with the intention of creating a strong and unique visual for our brand,” says Amanda. “I wanted to stay true to our minimalist, Scandinavian inspired look so that customers who shared our love of this style could confidently log on to our website and find products on each page that they would want in their homes.”

Stocking brands such as By Lassen, Menu, Design House Stockholm, Karlsson, Mud Australia and Pony Rider, Amanda hopes to expand Neutral Instinct to include more designers and one day, even a bricks and mortar store. “Some of my short-term goals include adding a children’s category to the store and adding a few new designers to the range that I have long wished for. My long-term plans include opening a bricks and mortar store and offering a design service as well as a retail service. Lots to dream about!”
