While his origins are in the US, Thomas Hamel has been working as an interior decorator from his Sydney base for over 20 years. It’s fair to say he has mastered the art of cross-cultural design.

So it’s fitting then that his seminar at Decoration + Design today was on the topic of global cross pollination.

It’s this unique cross over of cultures that has also awarded Hamel an inimitable design aesthetic, one that combines influences from both his Sydney base, American heritage and regular travels across the world, with commanding results. Hamel seamlessly finds ways of bringing various cultures together in a harmonious way.
