We Live In Your World: Hali Rugs Offers A Look Inside the Creative Spaces of Australian Designers.

Hali Rugs celebrates Australian creativity with signature style and depth in its new series, ‘We Live In Your World’. The inaugural edition takes us inside the private spaces of one of the country’s leading designers, Melbourne-based Brahman Perera.

Perera’s terrace house serves as the perfect canvas for this intimate exploration. Known for his emotive and highly textural approach, the interior designer has crafted a space that showcases the intersection of personal narrative and refined aesthetics. Through carefully composed photography and video, we get a rare glimpse into how he lives with and interprets the artistry of handcrafted rugs.

Hali Rugs Unveils a Decadent Collection in Collaboration with Smac Studio.

The Sydney-based interior design practice drew inspiration from the Art Deco movement on a rug series that marries decadent shades with a lustrous finish.

“A home should reflect the life you lead and the experiences that shape you. It’s more than aesthetics—it’s about creating a space that feels personal, where your passions, travels and culture come through.” — Brahman Perera

“A home should reflect the life you lead and the experiences that shape you,” Perera shares. “It’s more than aesthetics—it’s about creating a space that feels personal, where your passions, travels and culture come through.” This philosophy resonates deeply with Hali’s four-decade commitment to sourcing exceptional handmade rugs from master artisans worldwide.

Dan Swart, Hali’s managing director, frames the initiative as a natural evolution: “’We Live In Your World’ celebrates how Australia’s leading designers create spaces that tell their personal stories.” The choice of Perera as the inaugural feature underscores the shared values of craftsmanship and thoughtful composition that define both creator and curator.

West Block Twin Terrace in Melbourne by Brahman Perera.

In the heart of old Melbourne sits an 1860s home that blends right into its surroundings. Originally constructed as a boarding house, it is slim in its build and vernacular in its appearance. But the interior is a surprising antithesis.

This series focuses on the authentic relationship between designer and space, which is particularly compelling. Each element in Perera’s home—from the foundational rugs to the curated objects—contributes to a narrative that’s both deeply personal and universally engaging. As the series continues to unfold, featuring more of Australia’s design elite, it promises to offer unprecedented access to spaces that showcase the country’s world-class interior design talent.

This initiative marks a new chapter for Hali, reinforcing their position not just as purveyors of fine rugs but as champions of Australian design excellence. Through ‘We Live In Your World’, they’re inviting us to experience how exceptional design can transform a house into something far more meaningful—a home that tells your story.
