About Us
The Design Files is Australia’s most popular digital design publication. We cover real Australian homes, gardens, art, architecture, interior design, furniture, textiles, homewares, food, and more!
Founded by Melbourne stylist Lucy Feagins in 2008, The Design Files is now a team of women with an amazing, highly engaged community of readers and social media followers.
With a passion for original content, high quality photography, videography and writing, we love telling great design stories, document beautiful spaces, and keeping our readers informed about creative happenings Australia-wide.
Outside of the web, The Design Files hosts regular art exhibitions, events, talks and pop-ups. We also have a regular column in Domain magazine (The Age/The Sydney Morning Herald).
The Design Files acknowledges that we work on the land of the Wurundjeri people of the Kulin Nation. We pay our respects to elders past, present and emerging.
We publish homes across Australia, from architectural masterpieces, to suburban family homes, Victorian terraces, mid-century marvels, coastal shacks, city apartments, and everything in between.
