How to theme Interior Design – use a furniture wholesaler!
Article by Damian Barry
What’s a movie without a title?
What’s a speech without a theme?
Don’t let your interior design become a skeleton without a spine!!
The themeIn interior design, we must wrap the warmth and vitality your home gives you and your guests around a strong, flexible but well-connected theme – a true design for interior design.
Depending on the feel you like to surround yourself with, interior design takes on many different themes. This is a good thing. I’ve seen a lot of homes that use furniture and homewares based on their designer’s/owner’s travels – from that quaint cafe they remember in Bali to the lobby of a five-star island resort. The good thing about wholesale design is that it doesn’t have to cost five-star prices. Special moments also rank highly, like the little garden setting they got married in. Between the furniture and homewares, solid inviting themes are easily achieved.
Martin Luther King mentioned free and freedom 24 times in his short speech, and the memorable backbone – “I have a dream” eight times. We must ask ‘what does our home say?’ I have a dream, I have a vision, I have a wish…? It just wouldn’t have stuck!
FurnitureLet the furniture that is the foundation of the living in your house be a constant support to the look and feel of your design, not an ad hoc collection that is uncomfortable to wear with your eye and easy to forget in your heart.
Note: Outdoor furniture is often overlooked in selecting a theme for home design. Caution: Nurseries are not outdoor furniture wholesalers. They are nurseries, and as the name suggests, they nurse flora. Go to an outdoor furniture wholesaler for outdoor furniture that is truly in style, themed, and in line with your indoor furniture theme.
So, well-themed interior design starts with a good furniture wholesaler that can cater for all your needs. In compiling this article we used a furniture wholesaler in Sydney which, without selling to the public, does cater for non-retail outlets as well as retailers.
HomewaresOnce the furniture skeleton is laid, the muscle that both binds and drives your design will be like the keywords that dot your home – free and freedom did it for Luther, and they’re a dime a dozen in the dictionary… so what do we need? You guessed it, a good place to buy wholesale homewares.
This may or not be the same furniture wholesaler you started with but let’s not sacrifice design for convenience of a one-stop shop – the fact is only a very good furniture wholesaler will be able to provide quality classy indoor furniture, outdoor furniture, and wholesale homewares under the one roof. Nonetheless, check the wholesale homewares at the furniture wholesaler we used and see how easy it can be to keep your theme strong; when you’ve found a good wholesaler that is.
Whether or not Luther’s dream of freedom has truly been realised, your interior design can and will make your home homely, inspiring and comfortable, if you STICK TO THE THEME!

Taking an Eco-centric Approach to Spa Treatment Design
While at least some spa treatments (wraps, scrubs and masks to name the basic protocols) are usually found in a section on the majority of spa menus, they tend to lead a rather dormant life overshadowed by their more commonly requested relatives massages and facials. More often than not they decorate menus with adventurous names while flirting exotic ingredients. Considering the expensive products retained to perform these services and the equipment held available it is a pity that spa treatments are not given the place they deserve and could conquer.
Spa treatments are one of the menu-items that have not even been tapped into as a resource by the majority of individual practitioners as well as health spas of all styles and sizes.
While massage and to a good degree esthetics have matured so far that they are being accepted and understood as a solid part of every spa menu and a core service offered by the individual practitioner, spa treatments are still struggling to make their mark.
Spa treatments offer numerous advantages for clients, providers and for the spa business itself. Some of which are for clients that they pose an alternative to massage and a different approach to health and wellness altogether that utilizes a chemical rather than a physical approach. For providers they offer a rest from the physically challenging nature of massage and an opportunity to provide the client with more post treatment products that will extend the effects of the treatment. And finally the spa business itself for example can attract additional clients and renew client relationships more often with attractive treatments as well as expand the business with related products that help clients enjoy their spa experience at home as well.
So while there are many reasons why spa treatments tend to be less requested, we would like to pick one in particular that is rarely addressed. One of the explanations we find why clients do not opt for a spa treatment and providers and front desk staff have a hard time recommending them is that they cannot relate on an emotional and cultural level to the services offered.
One fundamental reason is that the services were not designed taking local ecological, social and cultural existing and pre-existing conditions into account, but rather have been imposed as a concept from the outside, importing foreign concepts that evolved under different circumstances and foreign ingredients that need to be imported. These concepts will surface in menus as “a traditional treatment from Bali” in a Mexican luxury spa or as product driven treatment featuring “caviar” designed by a vendor and wrapped around their protocol.
Now while at first glance the appealing description and mouthwatering descriptions might seem attractive, upon closer examination there are some major flaws in the design. Ingredients, the verbiage, the philosophy, aromas, and especially the client concerns originated somewhere else and lack the connections to the local facility. The ideas first spark interest and a certain sense of attraction to the mysterious but than fall short of following through with a feeling of being grounded in the here and now and offering benefits that embrace the local environmental and cultural heritage.
There are some very concrete reasons to pursue an eco-centric approach. When taking the time to research local healing traditions, one inherits many years of refining regionally available resources to address locally prevailing ailments and concerns. While looking into nature’s plant systems one finds plants that have thrived on the local geological and climatic environment and retain substances and essences that can heal conditions that are a result of just that environment. In observing weather patterns one can address the seasons and the changes between them. And most important, treatments designed with an eco-centric approach are grounded and feel complete as they are deeply embedded in their environment.
Taking local conditions into consideration while designing spa treatments is not difficult and well worth the effort. Besides the relationships you will develop researching the local resources, the resulting understanding of local culture, flora and climate will give the spa treatments you design a completely different level of integration with clients, providers and staff.
