Sitting pretty on Unley Road, we walk past Etienne at least twice a day, and we’re obsessed with owner Juliet Berry’s style!
Over the past 12 years, the constantly changing front windows have enticed people to walk through Etienne’s dreamy French doors to browse the unique range of homewares, furniture, accessories and clothing, all sourced locally and across the globe.
Juliet and her team love to chat with their customers about what sparks inspiration and assist them in finding eclectic pieces to create atmosphere and layers for their home.

Because we all want a little bit of the Etienne style, we asked Juliet to share some of her ideas so we can boldly copy them in our own homes…
Dining
The special rituals of breaking bread, sharing wine and cutting cake are social interactions that make the world go around. I always dress the table with unique pieces that have an unconventional look but also a timeless purpose, such as a Dinosaur Designs vase filled with flowers.
The layers start with a tablecloth from Australian label Bonnie and Neil, then the vase of flowers, with candles scattered amongst the blooms. Plates are usually a neutral colour created by a local ceramicist and complemented with our colourful Maison Balzac glassware.
Living
Modern spaces are minimalistic with clean cut lines, so I like to introduce a standalone piece to add vibrancy, comfort and culture. Plus, it creates a focal point to chat about! Artisanal rugs and cushions also offer the room colour, texture and warmth.
Bathroom
Made in Australia and packaged in its timeless mahogany coloured bottle, Aesop is always my go-to for hand and body care. The richly aromatic cleansers and balms hydrate, nourish and soften your skin.
Bedroom
I love to curate a bedroom space that is nurturing to live, love and ultimately, slumber. At Etienne, we house a gorgeous palette of French linen that can be mixed and layered to create a sleeping arrangement that’s completely exclusive to you.
Self style
Layering is my preferred way of dressing, and our offering of The Assembly Label collection does just that. Linen is the textile of choice for this incredible Australian brand, with warm woollen knits designed for the cooler months.
Juliet and the girls are waiting to welcome you into their world of beautiful objects.
