Announcing The Design Files Design Directory!

We’re very excited today to launch something brand new — TDF Design Directory!

Our Design Directory is a searchable database, right here on our website, where you’ll find hundreds of hand-picked furniture, lighting and rug options from 20+ of our favourite local retailers. We’ve included a variety of brands, styles and price points, but this is just the start – we plan to add lots more over the next 12 months.

We’d love you to check it out, browse all our selections — and read on to see what it’s all about!

We’ve spent a huge amount of time this year working on something BIG, and finally, today is the day to share it with you all!

TDF Design Directory brings together 100s of furniture, lighting and rug options, hand picked by us. Some of these are design pieces we often see popping up in the homes we feature, some are iconic designs you are probably familiar with, and others are newer discoveries that we just love!

Why did we create a Design Directory? A few reasons. But the main one, is simply that we want to be more useful. The Design Files has been serving up design inspiration for almost 16 years now (!) — and whilst we’ve become Australia’s go-to destination for home inspiration, we want to move beyond just inspo!

We often get asked for personal furniture, lighting or styling recommendations, and many of you have even asked us if we provide a home styling / furniture curation service! We don’t, but TDF Directory if the next best thing! We want TDF to do more than just inspire you, we want to help you create a home you love. A home just as gorgeous as the places you admire on TDF. So next time you’re hunting for that perfect new sofa, or a cute new lamp for your bedroom — look no further!

If you have a little look around on our Directory, you’ll see you can filter the product database by room, or by category. And for each product listed, you’ll find information on pricing, sizing, available colours and customisation options, as well as where to buy.

You’ll also see some fresh new content from us, like moodboards inspired by some of our favourite Australian designers; ‘get the look’ stories inspired by the homes we publish; and shopping guides on everything from small sofas to excellent dining chairs. There’s heaps to explore already, and so much more to come!
