The Design Files Open House

Overview

Melbourne's getting another big serve of home inspo this November, with the return of The Design Files' hit Open House pop-up.

After taking a break in 2016, the unique event is back with a bang, its next incarnation set to rock brand new digs within a Collingwood warehouse space, from November 23 to 26.

If you're unfamiliar with the concept, it's basically the ultimate happy place for home styling aficionados — a four-day pop-up featuring one open-plan house, decked out from top-to-toe with a covetable collection of furniture, appliances and homewares, as curated by the experts at well-loved design blog, The Design Files. And it's all available to buy, right then and there.

12 months in the making, this year's home will feature a master bedroom, living and dining spaces, a kids' area, a Cantilever kitchen, a home bar and a custom-designed courtyard by Phillip Withers. For the first time, The Design Files Open House will also play host to a program of ticketed speaker events, inviting local makers, stylists and small business operators to share their snippets of home styling wisdom.
