Makin’ Noise

  1. Winter II at Life Interiors!

    Team F&N are not only lovers of fashion, they are also obsessed with interiors so when the opportunity arose to shoot our ‘Winter II’ campaign at @lifeinteriors, to say the team were beyond excited, is definitely an understatement. 

    The ‘Winter II’ collection fits perfectly with the aesthetics of the gorgeous Life Interiors Abbotsford showroom. Located in a few locations across Australia, Life Interiors offers fashionable and contemporary furniture, and with all the current warm tones in their pieces, it fit perfectly with our ‘Winter II’ collection. 

    The ‘Winter II’ collection was built off solid F&N staples, some new colour ways in our favourite Winter essentials and also some brand-new shapes and styles.

    It was important that the faces of our ‘Winter II’ campaign also aligned with both businesses, so a love of interiors and fashion was a must! Our two faces of this collection were the gorgeous Sarita (@saritaholland) and Raff (@raffaela.sofia). Alongside Raff and Sarita our very own Creative Director Ali and Social Media Manager Molly inspired us with their own 4 looks in the campaign. Each of the four models had their own collection within the campaign, which was individually curated based on their own interior style.

    We cannot get enough of Raff, Sarita, Molly & Ali's homes, so we asked them all about their interior styles in the interview below. 

    Of course, we couldn’t go to Life Interiors and leave without a wish list! Sarita, Raff, Molly & Ali share their love for all things fashion and interiors below, and we even made them choose some of their favourite pieces from Life Interiors - and yes, they may have purchased a couple of them!

    What is your interior style?

    Ali: Since renovating our current and [really old] !! double fronted Edwardian home in the inner west of Melbourne [our second big reno in the ten years of moving to Melbourne’s west] I’ve really had to create a blend of ‘old meets new’ - our large polished concrete floors in the back half of our renovation has meant that my interior style is modern meet comfort. Plush soft finishes of navy & blush suede furniture complement the beautiful blonde timber pieces I saved up hard for from Ethnicraft and Barnaby Lane. My Barnaby Lane chairs sold at Life Interiors are the heart of our home! Where all the good conversations & creativity sparks over a bottle of red … dare don’t spill any on my dining table!  

    Impulse buy… furniture or homewares?

    Ali: Furniture over homewares as part of me thinks if it doesn’t fit, we’ll just use it or store it at our F+N Head Office! I mean a photoshoot can never have too many feature chairs, right?! Poor Brett has had to cart so many large pieces between our home and office over the years!

    What are your wardrobe and interior colour palettes?

    Ali: My wardrobe is obviously ALL F+N, so I wear ALL the colours! However, my staples are beige, whites, blush, black and denim! However, being around product development, design and having worked in fashion my whole life, I will always give every single colour that’s trending each season a go! I’m lucky, I can usually wear most colours or prints!

    As for my interior colour pallet it’s my love of blonde timber pieces and blush pink! My giant blush pink chair is a bit of a show stopper and fills my DM’s weekly on where it is from! Neutrals across timber and homewares, blush pinks for furnishing, camel or chocolate cushions and throws over my navy sofa all really help to achieve my ‘modern meet comfort’ interior style for our family home!

    Ali’s Top 4 Picks:

    Matteo Boucle Daybed

    I could never fit this chair in our bedroom, however if I EVER renovated our house further and built upstairs, I would have this daybed in my bedroom to hide away from the family at times listening to a podcast whilst scrolling the gram! Probably for more interior inspo!

    Jasper Velvet Swivel Armchair

    I just know my children would love a swivel chair in their lives! I probably would too, but it’s that olive green colour I adore!

    Monet Velvet Ottoman

    Even since I spied Molly’s place with this cute as velvet ottoman, I am literally trying to work out how many of these can I buy to fit in every room of my house! I’m in love with them!

    Bjorn Arch Floor Mirror

    Clear to say I have a love affair with the famous arch floor mirror somehow, I have three in our home and one at the office! I need to be banned from buying any more of them!

    What is your interior style?

    Sarita: My interior style changes all the time. I had a real love for rattan recently, but I’m over that now. I think my style is a little bit more sophisticated these days. I’m loving monochrome, I’m loving black and white interiors, touches of marble. A really moody, sexy vibe. 

    Impulse buy… furniture or homewares?

    Sarita: I would have to say furniture! I impulsively buy furniture, and without even seeing it! I usually buy online. 

    What are your wardrobe and interior colour palettes?

    Sarita: It’s funny because I absolutely love injecting colour into my wardrobe, however, I really feel most confident, and sexy, in black and white. I think that also shows through my house. My favourite room in my house is the monochrome room; it’s really sexy, moody and classy. I don’t know, I feel good when I sit in that room.

    Sarita’s Top 5 Picks:

    Black Rattan Boucle Dining Chair 

    Cosmos Dining Table 

    Artemis Mirror 

    Huggy II Montauk Swivel Armchair 

    Black Boucle Bar Stool 

    What is your interior style?

    Molly: I would say it’s a mix of modern and retro pieces. I do have a lot of neutrals but I like to add in the pop of colour within my décor, to me it’s a perfect balance of colour and calm & inviting neutrals.

    Impulse buy… furniture or homewares?

    Molly: Homewares for sure! A furniture piece for me is something I really need to think about and invest in.

    What are your wardrobe and interior colour palettes?

    Molly: I love my neutrals, browns, creams, beige and black with a pop of colour here and there. You’ll see some oranges and greens in my home for sure.

    What is your interior style?

    Raff: I absolutely love interiors, as you all know, and my style probably is Scandinavian with a touch of boho.

    Impulse buy… furniture or homewares?

    Raff: My impulse buy would have to be furniture. I can’t have enough of it. So yes, furniture. 

    What are your wardrobe and interior colour palettes?

    Raff: So the colours I probably gravitate to the most, in fact in fashion and interiors, is probably the khaki kind of colours. I also love a pop of green, a pop of blue in there, and also creams; because creams are always a classic and you can never go wrong with that.

    Wall art or vases?

    Raff: If I had to choose between wall art or vases, it would definitely be wall art. I am obsessed with artwork around the house. It just brings such a beautiful focal point to the room.
