Style Lab is an interactive display, which using the latest trends and design-led products, sees its host create a series of changing scenes made live each morning of the event. With an eye for straight lines, striking colours, simplicity and shape, Marsha is a prime choice, having created installations for the likes of Gorman, Incu, Megan Park, Kate & Kate and Uuashmama.

A stationary and homewares product developer by trade, Marsha spent many years working at kikki.K before going freelance. She now teaches paper artistry at Megan Morton’s The School and works in all design realms from interior styling to photography.

Life Instyle Melbourne 2014 is being held at the Royal Exhibition Building from 31 July – 3 August. Register online now

Transforming runway fashion into beautiful interiors

In a novel approach to design, Dulux has partnered with Australian fashion labels Romance Was Born and Gorman, to create four interiors inspired by their latest collections.

Led by Dulux stylist Bree Leech, the project, United by Style, saw its interior design team create rooms that transformed the fashion colours straight from the runway, into the home.

“The latest collections from Gorman and Romance Was Born embrace colour wholeheartedly,” explains Bree. “These rooms take their cues from that amazing use of colour and demonstrate how effective paint can be in creating mood and character in a space.”

One of the rooms, named Harvest, was inspired by Gorman’s Autumn 2014 collection Winter Harvest. Based on nature, the collection features prints with a range of magical symbols, winter vegetables and botanicals. Following on with the theme, the Harvest room champions moody paint colours that draw on the natural shades of the land and sea.

Another of the rooms, Portal, was interpreted from Romance Was Born’s Autumn 2014 collection Dream On, which embraced a psychedelic and hyper-colourful palette. The room follows suit with a vibrant interior, showcasing strong graphic lines contrasting against curved, organic-shaped furniture.

Castle collaborates with Gorman

Now this IS exciting! Castle have collaborated with Gorman to create a limited edition range for summer. Don’t you just love it when a homewares label and a fashion label come together and create something like this? It makes sense, right? Look how often fashion and homewares trends mirror each other. 

Anyway, back to Castle and Gorman, we’re talking bed linen, beach towels, artwork and more. Oh, and did I mention it is all typography themed? I die…

One of the three one-off felt artworks has sold already so go on, be quick! Find more here
