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, and 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 with the space out back was to create a 'Shabby Chic' look (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

We opened our doors in early 2024 with a vastly expanded range of brands and products from what was available online.

Our range has continued to grow and now includes many gift and lifestyle options, along with an ever expanding range of fashionable women's clothing.

So if you are local or just in the area, 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 or tell you how good you look in one of our pieces of clothing.

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 stock a super large range of many beautiful brands we also offer our own brand of 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! 

Thanks for hearing our story, we look forward to offering you a product we hope you will absolutely love!
