Paddington Design Guide - PDF + Map
Explore Paddington’s Design District: A Guide to Sydney’s Top Showrooms
I am thrilled to announce the launch of my online shop, and the very first offering is something I have dreamed of creating for years: a design guide to Sydney’s Paddington. This project has been a long time in the making, inspired by my days in Vancouver, where I would spend lunch breaks walking along Granville Street, discovering hidden gems and soaking up the vibrant design scene. Since moving to Sydney I have discovered that spirit of exploration and inspiration in Paddington, a district I have come to love just as much.
Paddington is a treasure trove for design enthusiasts. With its charming streets and inspiring creative scene, it is home to some of Sydney’s best showrooms and studios. Whether you are searching for unique pieces to complete your space or simply looking to be inspired, this guide will lead you to the must-visit spots that make Paddington so special.
As a designer, I have spent years uncovering the hidden gems of the design world—those unique stores and experiences that go beyond what a Google search can offer. I love sharing these discoveries, and this guide is my way of inviting you to step away from the screen and experience design in person. There is nothing quite like walking through inspiring spaces, stumbling upon unexpected treasures, and immersing yourself in a world of creativity.
Whether you’re a homeowner, an aspiring designer, or a curious tourist, this guide makes exploring easy and enjoyable. With addresses, links, and a downloadable Google map to guide your journey, all the details are taken care of—so you can focus on enjoying the adventure.
