Our Story
THE GRACE COLLECTION AUSTRALIA
The Grace Collection Australia came about from discussions in a little office late one night in Norwood, South Australia.
Along with the founding business of Grace Home Staging, The Grace Collection Australia was formed with the aim of offering beautiful, comfortable and good quality homewares.
We have hand-picked an assortment of beautiful brands we love, for you to shop till your heart is content!
THE CHURCH
In late 2023, after 6 years of building a very successful Home Staging Business, and 3 years of building an online presence, we decided to fully engage in the retail world by opening our first 'Brick and Mortar' store.
With patience and persistence (and a little bit of luck), our dreams of having a 'Church' as a store, came true. An it was right around the corner from where we were!
With our staging business now closed, our full attention turned to creating our beautiful homewares store.
A former Methodist Church, this elegant Victorian building was designed with a mixture of Gothic/Classical details.
Constructed in 1872 by a local builder, it replaced an earlier church dating back to 1857.
Built of squared sandstone from West Mitcham on the front façade and bluestone rubble elsewhere.
THE RENOVATIONS
Whilst we loved everything about the church, it did need a little love and care.
Cracks were filled, painting and repairs were completed and a functional space was created out back for offices, storage and processing rooms. Our aim out back was to create a 'Shabby Chic' look in this space (maybe a little more shabby than chic - but you get the idea).
Our aim - to bring this beauty back to life and showcase as many original features as possible.
THE OPENING - EARLY 2024
Pop in and say 'Hi', have a chat and a browse.
We can help with selections for yourself to beautify your own home or assist you when purchasing for a gift. You can park out the front of the church for easy access.
You will be sure to find something that takes your fancy.
THE GRACE COLLECTION AUSTRALIA - OUR OWN BRAND
Whilst we do stock a super large range of many beautiful brands with do offer our own brand cushion covers. They are completely custom designed and manufactured right here in Australia. They are simple and elegant, in fact, most of our ranges contain only two to three colours. We strongly believe the ‘less is more’ theory is imperative to our brand.
Careful thought has been put into the colours, designs and textures ensuring they satisfy a myriad of desires and preferences.
Our cushions come in their own uniquely named ranges that work beautifully together. You may even have a cushion named after the street you live on! They can be easily mixed and matched to create your very own look. The choice is yours and the options are plentiful. Have some fun!
We quite often release a new collection so keep your eyes and ears open for our next release date. These showcase new colour palettes and designs for you to discover and explore.
Thanks for hearing our story, we look forward to offering you a product we hope you will absolutely love!
