All About Grace

Grace Garrett In the studio.png

In my childhood days, colour emerged as an indomitable force in my life. You see, my mother was a masterful seamstress, crafting garments with exquisite skill. She stitched not only her own wardrobe but mine as well, much to my youthful chagrin. Back then, I yearned to don the same attire as everyone else, a common desire in youth. Funny how as adults, we often strive to stand out in a crowd, isn't it?

My mother's talents didn't stop at clothing; they extended to even my father's work shirts, if you can believe it! This woman's creative prowess knew no bounds. Consequently, our living spaces bore her artistic touch, and our interiors were a testament to her creativity.

Surrounded by a kaleidoscope of fabrics and colours, my fascination with textiles and hues naturally burgeoned. I found myself at her side, observing her at the sewing machine or accompanying her on expeditions to fabric stores. Ah, the nostalgia of flipping through those pattern catalogues!

In those stores, I found myself in the mesmerising spectrum of cotton thread shades and the enchanting arrays of buttons, each hue a wonder for a child's inquisitive eye. And who could forget that delicate tissue paper, pinned meticulously to the fabric, poised for cutting and sewing once we returned home?

 

Those moments, bathed in colours and textures, were the seeds of a lifelong love affair with the artistry of design and the magic of colour!!!

Fast forward.....

I’m your go-to gal for all things colourful, stylish, and creatively fabulous. As a seasoned textile designer, stylist, colourist, and artist, I’ve had the pleasure of working with some of the biggest names in the industry, including Taubmans Paints and Coco Republic, as well as numerous architectural and property development companies.

 

My passion for design is as boundless as my love for nature, which inspires every piece I create.

 

The Latest Creations

I'm thrilled to announce the launch of my 2024 Secret Garden Collection, a series of designs inspired by the lush beauty of my former garden in the Northern Beaches. Think palm trees with magpies, banana palms, dried date palm leaves, sandstone erosion patterns, bird feathers, pebbles, and rattan textures. This collection is all about bringing the serene charm of nature into your home, with on-trend color palettes featuring olives, sages, terracotta, rust, and lemon.

 

I’ve also just released the Coast to Country Art Collection online. This new body of work celebrates the stunning diversity of Australia's landscapes, from the serene coastal vibes to the rugged beauty of the countryside. These pieces are perfect for adding a touch of Aussie charm to any space. 

 

I’ve been lucky enough to collaborate on some pretty amazing projects.

 

From creating bespoke textile designs for top-tier companies to styling chic interiors that blend vintage charm with modern elegance, my work is all about infusing spaces with personality and warmth. My designs have adorned everything from luxurious fabrics and wallpapers to cozy bed linens and stylish home accessories.

Whether you’re looking to refresh your home’s palette or create stunning design, I’m here to help you unlock the full potential of colour in your projects.

 

I believe in the power of great design to transform spaces and lift spirits. So whether you’re looking for a unique textile design, some expert colour advice, or a beautifully styled space, I’d love to collaborate with you.
