Bay Gallery Home introduces our 'My Country: design with origin' Pouffes

Lilly Green cotton velvet pouf in The Ormond Hotel, Tetbury

Bay Gallery Home introduces our luxurious velvet poufs.

Our pouffes are a simple way to complete the appeal of your living space by creating alternative seating immediately enveloping you in comfort. Simple and elegant design with origin.

The pouffe can be paired with our Lilly Green wallpaper to complete your room scheme or you could choose another wallpaper from our collection to create statement design.

The Aboriginal botanical design is taken from an original painting by Lilly Kemarre Morton. It depicts the sacred plants and trees of the Australian outback used by the Aboriginals for the last 60,000 years. Lilly receives a royalty from all the products we make using her design.

If you are in Australia you can purchase our fabrics from our distributor Elliott Clarke under their boutique artisanal EC Collective.

Made to order in the UK from any of our fabrics found on this link:

The List - House & Garden

Bay Gallery Home is hugely honoured to be included in the interior design industry bible, House & Garden The List. This is the first time an Aboriginal art gallery or interiors collection, has ever featured on The List so we feel like we’ve really achieved something special on behalf of Aboriginal artists. Hopefully this will pave the way for more Aboriginal designs to be explored and used within interior design. Our ‘My Country’ interiors collection is manufactured in the UK as we also wanted to support the British manufacturing industry.

Bay Gallery Home has achieved it’s goal of getting Aboriginal interiors on the world stage but we always need the support of our clients to help it grow so please keep supporting Bay Gallery Home and the Artists we represent by visiting us online or at our Gloucestershire gallery.

Daisy Brown Linen reflects the Australian Outback

Two years ago Alexandra, Bay Gallery Home owner travelled to the central desert community Daisy Kemarre hails from. Alexandra on a mission to find a painting for interior designer Tom Carey who graduated as 2014 Student of the Year from the KLC School of Design.

Tom works in Arts and Crafts, Gothic, Aesthetic and High Victorian styles. On one of his projects he was using William Morris wallpapers but as the ‘My Country’ Lilly Green invoked William Morris comparisons Alexandra thought she could source a painting he could use in his room schemes. So Daisy’s painting became a wallpaper in turn becoming a fabric.

Daisy Brown fabric can be ordered as a linen or half panama. The half panama retains the vivacity of the original work. If you want to match the wallpaper it’s best use the half panama but if you’re after a more rustic feel it works beautifully on the linen.

All ‘My Country’ fabrics will be available by the metre on our shop shortly. In the meantime you can place orders with alexandra@baygalleryhome.com or call 07776 157 066.

Historic Hicks&Weatherburn now stock our My Country wallpapers.

A vibrant collage of our My Country wallpapers, translations of authentic Australian Aboriginal artworks, made in the UK.

Our My Country Australian Aboriginal wallpapers from original artwork is now stocked by the historic Hicks & Weathernburn.

Established in 1741 in Yorkshire, they are the oldest paint manufacturing company in Leeds, and have expanded into interiors, expanding their expertise on colours and bespoke client service. 

Here is what they have to say:

"We are delighted to be stocking a unique range of wallpaper alongside our premium interior paints designed by Aboriginal artists in Australia’s Northern territory.

A chance meeting with Alexandra O’Brien at Bay Gallery in Tetbury during a recent trip down South led to the collaboration and we are proud to be supporting her work.

Bay Gallery has been working with artists from Aboriginal communities since 2008 and is the only dedicated Aboriginal gallery in the UK.

In collaboration with British manufacturers, some of the designs created in Australia have now been transformed into a striking and stylish collection of interiors products, including the My Country range of wallpaper.

The artists behind these designs take their inspiration from the land, family and nature. This rural theme fits perfectly with our own colour range which is inspired by the Yorkshire countryside.

We will now be selling Bay Gallery’s wallpaper range alongside our paints and would be happy to suggest the best colour combinations to use with them in your interior design scheme.

The artists are remunerated for the original purchase of artwork, and receive a percentage of interiors sales. This is an important source of income for these communities and helps towards mobility, educational and work opportunities.

The original approach came from the Aboriginal communities themselves which means our customers can be confidence that stock is ethically sourced and authentically certified."
