The 2018 Australian Interior Design Awards shortlist

In its 15th year, the 2018 Australian Interior Design Awards shortlist was announced last week to much industry anticipation. Designed to celebrate the best of Australian interior design across residential, public and commercial sectors, the awards are held by the Design Institute of Australia together with Architecture Media’s Artichoke magazine.

We always enjoy looking at the entries as they’re a great place to find interiors inspiration and there’s nothing better than checking out the work of creatives at the top of their field. It’s also wonderful to see Australian interior design getting the recognition it deserves.

Arent&Pyke featured prominently in last year’s nominations also and this year, their ‘Treetop House’ features a stunning kitchen. The blue-grey marble island bench and complementary range hood is an inspiring combination.
