If she had to choose from the 100s of brands on offer at Decoration + Design, what would Interiors Addict editor, Jen Bishop seek out? We asked the popular interiors blogger to give us her edit of the top 5 exhibitors she’s currently coveting.

1. Armadillo & Co.


For really cool, on trend rugs that will make a statement, check out Armadillo & Co at stand AC06. Their rugs are all handmade to the highest ethical standards and the designs are really cool. Whether you like a natural fibre look or something more colourful, every piece is fair trade and crafted from sustainable natural fibers including pure wool, jute, cotton and hemp.

2. Unitex International


Unitex Rugs (stand 026) have some stunning quality rugs, whether you’re looking for plain, shag, cowhide, patterned or colourful, at a variety of price points.

3. H&H Collections


H&H Collection (stand AF20) s a fantastic lighting range from Hermon & Hermon, a Melbourne homewares institution. You may have seen the store featured on the latest series of The Block.

4. Enjoy Lighting flameless candles


Enjoy Lighting (stand AB24) produce, in my opinion, the best quality flameless candles on the Australian market. Well worth a look.

5. Boyd Blue


Boyd Blue, at stand AG36, source furniture, homewares, art, rugs and lighting from all over the globe and their range is impressive. They’ve been supplying the industry for 13 years and they always have something new I’m lusting after!
