Melbourne-based homewares wholesaler, Down to the Woods, knows what gets people excited. It’s sweet, fanciful pieces that inject a burst of happiness into everyday life. Take the famed Freckle Rug, for example. Each glorious floor piece (akin to a giant chocolate Freckle) is hand-made exclusively in Nepal for Down to the Woods, meaning no two are the same. These rainbow creations are made from 100% pure New Zealand wool, and are loved by big and little people alike. If you prefer something a little juicer, the watermelon felt rug may satisfy. Once you’ve brightened up your floors, don’t forget the walls! Down to the Woods’ impressive range of garlands (think sweet felt hearts, clouds and pom poms), sparkling fairy lights and kitschy wire signage will undoubtedly generate a flood of compliments.

Feast your eyes on a select range of Down to the Woods goods at Kova in Fortitude Valley, Happiness Place in Paddington, and Nook in West End.
