Complete Your Room With the Right Furnishings
Soft furnishings are the fabric-based elements that complete a room — cushions, upholstered furniture, bedheads, and accessories that tie a space together. DDI’s soft furnishings service in Inner West Sydney goes beyond curtains and blinds. Our decorator arrives at your home with a curated sample kit. She selects fabrics under your actual room light, accounting for your colour scheme, sun direction, and existing pieces. In 2026, Sydney homeowners are leaning toward natural linen, organic textures, and earthy neutrals. We’ve been matching those preferences to real rooms since 1991.
Choose from any variety of fabrics and styles. For example:
- Custom upholstery in Warwick, Zepel, and Mokum fabrics
- Hand-made Molmic lounge furniture, crafted in Melbourne
- Upholstered bedheads tailored to your bedroom palette
- Custom scatter cushions in fabric from our showroom sample range
- Interior accessories selected to complement your window furnishings
- 2-year warranty on all products and services
Our Furnishings Range — Inner West Sydney
Upholstery
Upholstery services Sydney cover full reupholstery, scatter cushions, upholstered bedheads, and custom fabric selection. Our decorator works with Warwick and Zepel fabrics, both known for durability and colourfast performance in Sydney’s sun. Suitable for period homes in Balmain and contemporary apartments in Drummoyne alike. 2-year warranty applies.
Accessories
The accessories inside a room carry the palette from window to wall to tabletop. DDI stocks a considered range of interior accessories from its Russell Lea showroom — lampshades, soft furnishing accents, and decorative pieces selected to complement your existing window treatments. A decorator guides the selection in the context of your room, not from a generic catalogue. Particularly popular with homeowners updating Federation-era properties in Leichhardt and Concord.
Furniture
Pairing window furnishings with the right furniture is where a room comes together. DDI’s furniture range is curated for Inner West homes — not mass production. Each piece is selected to work with curtains, blinds, and fabric palettes that the decorator has already helped you choose. Whether you are furnishing a Drummoyne living room or a Strathfield study, our team connects your window and furnishing selections into one coherent interior.
Molmic
Molmic has been hand-making lounge furniture in Melbourne for over 30 years. Each piece is made to order with your choice of fabric, configuration, and finish. DDI is the Inner West stockist for Molmic — the decorator selects fabrics from our in-store sample range and matches them to your colour scheme before any order is placed. This is the opposite of buying a floor model. Customers in Rozelle and Five Dock regularly choose Molmic for its quality and the confidence of seeing the fabric first.

Frequently Asked Questions — Soft Furnishings Sydney
Q: What are soft furnishings in interior design?
A: Soft furnishings are the fabric-based elements of a room — cushions, upholstered furniture, bedheads, lampshades, and curtains. They add colour, texture, and comfort to a space. In an Inner West Sydney home, they are often the final layer that ties together window treatments, wall colour, and furniture into a cohesive interior.
Q: How much does upholstery cost in Sydney?
A: Upholstery costs vary by piece, fabric, and scope of work. A dining chair recovered in a mid-range fabric typically costs less than a full sofa reupholster. DDI provides a no-obligation quote after the decorator sees the piece in your home. Fabric selection from the Warwick and Zepel ranges is included in the consultation.

Q: Where can I get custom cushions made in Sydney?
A: DDI makes custom scatter cushions from our Inner West Sydney showroom. The decorator selects fabric from the Warwick, Zepel, or Mokum ranges during your in-home consultation. Cushions are made to your measurements and colour scheme. Customers across Drummoyne, Concord, and Balmain use this service when updating a sofa, bedhead, or living room.
Q: What is the difference between soft furnishings and hard furnishings?
A: Soft furnishings are fabric-based — curtains, cushions, upholstery, and bedheads. Hard furnishings are the structural pieces: timber furniture, bed frames, and cabinetry. DDI supplies both through our furnishings range, including hand-made Molmic lounge furniture. Molmic furniture Sydney
Q: Can I get furniture and window furnishings from the same decorator in Sydney?
A: Yes. DDI’s decorator manages window furnishings — curtains, blinds, shutters — and soft furnishings — upholstery, furniture, accessories — as a single integrated project. This means fabric choices, colour palette, and proportions are considered together, not separately. It is the most common way customers in Inner West Sydney approach a full room refresh.
