Look who’s back! 👀✨
Our much-loved Apex lights are back in stock in brown, black and white.
These clever little lights are USB rechargeable and have three dimming settings—perfect for softly lighting a hall table, bathroom or bedside. They also make the loveliest night-light and are brilliant for a spot of bedtime reading.
Come in and grab one of these handy little beauties before they disappear again! 🤎

Happy Father’s Day to all the wonderful dads…
To the dads who let their wives buy whatever furniture they want — even when they’re quietly wondering where on earth it’s going to fit.
To the dads who fold the washing, have dinner ready when we arrive home late, wrangle the children, walk the dog, shift the sofa… then shift it back again because it looked better the first way.
To the dads who nod thoughtfully at fabric samples, pretend to understand the difference between olive, moss and sage, and know that “I’m just popping into Timber + Thread” is never going to be a five-minute outing.
We see you, we appreciate you… and we promise we’re almost finished rearranging the lounge.
Happy Father’s Day to all the dads, stepdads, grandads and father figures who keep everything ticking along — usually with a laugh, a little patience and a very well-used toolkit. 🤎
When we go sourcing chairs and sofas, we take the job very seriously…
It’s a tough game, but someone’s gotta play it. We take turns testing each piece, ensuring there’s always one of us awake to ask the important questions. 😂
Because when it’s fluffy, reclining and ridiculously comfortable, you know I’m no longer in any capacity for conversation…
All in the name of research, of course.
This morning was spent visiting five Mount apartments, each needing a little love… and we’re so excited to give these beauties a fresh new chapter. 🤎
Now, after an evening lost in colours, textures and schemes, we’re finally heading to bed. There’s something wonderfully addictive about design—once those creative ideas begin flowing, it’s very hard to switch them off…
Watch this space. These makeovers are going to be rather special. ✨
What a weekend that was, while Chlo held down the Studio, Lisa and Char had 36 hours on the road, sourcing for the studio and our wonderful design clients… and we’re officially in inspiration overload. 🤎
It’s been a couple of long days, but we’ve had the best time hunting down beautiful, character-filled pieces—each one carefully chosen with a home, a project or a special little corner in mind.
There was plenty of car-ride business planning, classic ’90s tunes, a little questionable singing, lots of coffee and even more laughter.
Tired, inspired and home just in time to tuck the kids into bed… with a car full of treasures and heads full of ideas.
We can’t wait to show you what we found. ✨
Why work with one designer when you can have two creative minds, thoughtfully working together on your home?
Charlotte and Lisa each bring their own experience, instincts and perspective to every Timber + Thread project. Ideas are shared, challenged and refined until every element feels just right—beautifully blended, carefully curated and entirely considered.
Our philosophy is simple: to create spaces that don’t just look beautiful, but feel warm, lived-in and uniquely yours.
We take the time to understand how you live, what you love and the pieces that already hold meaning. From there, we thoughtfully blend contemporary design with timeless craftsmanship, vintage treasures and the character that develops when a home is collected over time.
Whether you’re refreshing one room, renovating your home or beginning from the ground up, we can help with:
• Concepts and colour consultations
• Spatial planning
• Furniture, lighting and rug sourcing
• Fabrics and window furnishings
• Custom furniture and soft furnishings
• Styling and those all-important finishing touches
With two designers beside you, every detail is viewed from more than one perspective—bringing greater creativity, careful consideration and confidence to every decision.
Because the most beautiful homes aren’t simply designed to be admired. They’re created to be lived in, deeply loved, and to tell the story of the people who call them home.

These beautiful custom cushions have just been collected by one very happy customer… and we couldn’t be more delighted with how they turned out.
A gorgeous wool plaid, backed in the softest velvet—the perfect pairing of pattern, texture and timeless charm.
Thoughtfully designed, beautifully made, and ready to settle into their new home. 🤎

The world feels a little less sparkly without Dolly in it. ✨
She may have worn rhinestones, big hair and the brightest smile in the room, but beneath it all was a beautifully humble soul who never forgot where she came from.
Dolly showed us that success and kindness can walk hand in hand. That you can dream boldly, remain true to yourself and still reach back to lift others along the way. She used her voice not only to entertain, but to encourage, comfort and make the world a little brighter—especially for children through her beautiful gift of books.
She was proof that real beauty lies in generosity, authenticity, humour and a good heart.
A remarkable woman, a wonderfully wise soul and a legacy that will continue to shine for generations.
Rest peacefully, Dolly. You will always be loved. 🤍
Take a little stroll through our studio…
Where the good old sits beautifully beside the lovely new. Where fabrics brighten your day, rugs soften your space, and every piece is thoughtfully chosen to bring a little more love, warmth and soul into your home. 🤎
Somewhere among the collecting, sourcing and designing, Lisa and Charlotte found themselves creating something of their very own…
A beautiful linen collection, made from premium European flax and designed to be layered, lived in and loved.
Think good old-fashioned bedspreads, double-flanged cushions, bed throws, tablecloths, napkins and runners—each finished with a simple overlocked edge and a playful contrasting stitch.
These are the timeless pieces we could never quite find for our clients… so naturally, we made them ourselves.
And because we design and make each piece, they can be custom-sized to fit your home just so.
Perfectly imperfect, beautifully relaxed, and only getting lovelier with age. 🤎
