The best way to search

QUICK SEARCH
  • Select a Category from the panel below the black header bar.
    • This displays all the items in that category.

SPECIFIC SEARCH
  • From within a Category (eg; Bedroom)… enter into the search bar the product type, styles, textures, etc that you’re looking for.
    • You can use any words and in any order - but they must be separated by single spaces,
      (eg; pedestal modern wood)
    • Entering part of a word has the same effect as entering a whole word - eg; "classic" will also display "classical" and "stainless" will also display "stainless steel".
    • Double barreled words must be hyphenated - eg; Neo-Classical, Wrought-Iron, etc.
  • Press <Enter> or select the search icon.
    • The Category display will reduce to display (for this example) only "bedroom pedestals that are modern and have wood".

KEYWORDS

  • If you're not sure which words to use, select from the blue attributes below the categories then tap the keywords that appear to add them to the search bar.

    MODIFYING YOUR SEARCH

    • You can select multiple attributes and multiple keywords... and you can also combine them with your own words.

    • To remove words from the search bar, highlight them and select delete.
      • If they are keywords you can de-select them from the keyword list.
    • After each modification press <Enter> or select the search icon.
      • The images will update to reflect your latest search criteria.
    • To re-display the full category select the X in the search bar and press <Enter> or the search icon.

    THE SEARCH BAR

    • If too many words are entered in the search bar... hover over the bar to display all the search words.
    Item availability?
    • We live in a world where designs and trends are changing faster than ever... and items that were available yesterday are often not available today as new designs supersede older ones.

    • This is particularly true with overseas items where limited stock is imported and often not repeated.

    • However, many items can be sourced given sufficient waiting or production time... and they can also often be copied surprisingly accurately by our skilled manufacturers.

    • It's also almost impossible to keep up to date on a daily basis with which items are and which are not available, so displaying all the items "that are or have been available" gives browsers the widest selection of what they might be able to have… and this often helps them clarify which styles and designs they really like.
    Not sure what you want?
    • Browsers often have a vague idea of the styles they like... but they haven’t yet found the actual item.

    • That’s where we can help… because many items displayed on our site are available in additional pieces that may not yet have been cataloged… (eg; you might see an armchair you like but were really wanting a corner.

      However... an armchair is often part of a range that includes a recliner, a loveseat, a settee, a corner suite and an ottoman... and available in the exact size and color you’re wanting.

    • Just tell us and we’ll try to source it for you.
    Found what you like... but not the right color or size?
    • Sometimes the excitement of finding exactly what we want is quickly followed by the disappointment of not being able to get it in the shape, size or color we like best.

    • Well, here’s some good news… many of our items can be supplied or made as you want them, whether it be your preference of size, shape, texture or color.

    • Chat to one of our friendly sales consultants… or better still, enlarge the items(s) you’re querying and select the Contact Us button on the page.

    • This will automatically attach the item to the CONTACT US option in the black header bar… and then we have your preferences recorded and can get back to you with meaningful answers.

    Custom designs
    • Most people are passionate about their individuality… and they like to express their uniqueness in the way they dress, the cars they drive, and of course in the way they decorate their homes.

    • And, whereas people often change their clothes frequently and their cars every 3 to 7 years… they change their furniture less often, with (on average) lounge furniture expected to last for more than 10 years, and dining rooms and bedrooms for even longer.

    • And, with today’s high cost of quality furniture, people prefer to buy exactly what they want rather than to settle for 2nd or 3rd choices.

    • That's why we offer Custom Designs… and we are often able to make exactly or close to what is wanted, whether it's an adaption of an item in our gallery or a picture seen in a magazine or on the internet.

    • For more information on custom designs… select ABOUT US in the black header bar… then WHAT WE DO… Custom Designs

    Why USE Living Image as your Interior Decorator?


    Because we have several unique benefits…     that most other companies don’t have…
    We have experienced interior decorators on our staff… who offer the benefit of home (or workspace) consultations… and who can help you decorate on a budget by creating a long term forward plan for you… AND we have a large showroom where you can see, touch and feel actual items.

    Unlike many decorators who impose their ideas     on their clients… our staff are trained to adapt their knowledge and ideas to suit your needs and preferences. That way, you get what you like and not what the decorator likes – and that’s the way it should be because after all, it’s your home and not theirs!

    We offer an holistic one-stop service… which includes… standard items displayed in our showroom (or ordered to your size and color)… custom designed furniture and fittings (see Custom Designs)… quality advice on all your furnishing and décor requirements… floor plans and room perspectives… semi-structural alterations (ceilings, lighting, dado rails, dry walls, etc)… floor coverings including carpets, tiles and laminate wood floors… window treatments including curtains, pelmets and blinds… wall treatments including wallpaper, paneling, mirrored features, painting and paint techniques… lighting and lamps… in fact, almost anything that can enhance and beautify the interior of your home or work space.

    And we have an interior design service... to help you utilize your space more efficiently... including removing walls and re configuring rooms... as well as complete kitchen, bathroom and home cinema revamps.
    We also offer full turnkey solutions… where, in addition to the above, we select, install and place the furniture… hang the pictures and mirrors… add the final touches that turn mere rooms into homes… and also coordinate and oversee the entire project.

    And all this with a relaxed, friendly, one-on-one approach… where we welcome and encourage our clients’ views and participation.
    We’ve been in business since 1975… and have successfully completed hundreds, if not thousands of projects… so we certainly have the expertise and experience to successfully help you with YOUR project!

    Whilst much of our work has been enhancing domestic homes… we have successfully undertaken many corporate projects ranging from foyers and receptions through to boardrooms and offices… and from doctors rooms and accounting suites through to restaurants, rugby boxes and b&b’s… as well as shopfitting retail outlets including electronics stores and clothing shops, optometrists, take-aways and even a small casino!

    And, because we’ve been doing this for so long… we’ve built up a large database of reliable contractors, suppliers and specialists who have proven their reliability and work ethic to ensure that projects (from a single room to multiple time-share apartments) all run smoothly and on time… and within this database we are able to select the best supplier for each aspect of each project!

    So as you can see… Living Image can easily be your interior decorator!
