Amy Spargo of Maine House Interiors has transformed the windows of The English Tapware Company’s Sydney and Melbourne showrooms, presenting quiet corners for contemplation featuring the best of British bespoke interior suppliers.

Each quarter, The English Tapware Company refreshes its window displays with a new creative vision. Local designers and artists are invited to explore their creativity using The English Tapware Company products in combination with bespoke pieces that reflect the interests and identity of the contributor.

As the designer behind some of Melbourne and regional Victoria’s most prestigious homes and faithful specifier of The English Tapware Company’s products, Maine House Interiors were invited to collaborate on the next season. Amy is known for creating classic, timeless interiors that reflect her client’s lifestyle; a talent for mixing old with new and always including an element of surprise in the spaces she creates through pattern, colour and one off found objects.

Hand printed Cole & Sons Sweet Pea wallpaper provides a delicate stage to flagship bathroom pieces from The Water Monopoly Paris collection, framed by vintage bookplate prints from The Overflow Studio whilst Alice Palmer & Co light shades add colour, texture and pattern in the most charming way.

Amy’s considered choices of heritage and bespoke elements reinforce The English Tapware Company’s principles of quality materials, design and craftsmanship, while promoting Maine House Interiors talent for mixing old with new whether British made or local artisan. She says: “I only work with trades and suppliers that I trust, can rely on and have a mutual respect for. The design industry is based on relationships, so I try to support local where I can.”
