Shopping precinct: Mount Hawthorn, WA

We reveal Australia’s must-visit destinations and uncover their hidden gems - by Jo Carmichael

Shopping precinct: Mount Hawthorn, WA
Jody D’Arcy

This once-sleepy Perth suburb is bursting into life. New boutique shops and eateries are establishing themselves alongside a strong existing community, creating a buzzy, family-focused vibe. Ditch the car and make a day of it by taking a stroll along the long, central high street, with a nature trail park nearby, and enjoy the warm, neighbourly atmosphere of this child-friendly urban village. Do explore its laneways and The Mezz shopping mall on your travels.

STOP 1 | Scandinavian Wallpaper & Décor

This seriously beautiful space, with its vast and diverse range of textured and organic-look wallpaper, will take your breath away. Owner Lollo Jansson is passionate about her trade, importing papers from her beloved native Sweden and offering a custom printing service (samples can be sent all over Australia). Entering her showroom and seeing what’s on display will rewrite your views on wallpaper being a ‘traditional’ form of decorating. 

Must-have: ‘Concrete Cire’ in CC8016G by Tres Tintas (below left), $121/sqm.

Open: Mon-Thu, 9am-4pm; Fri, 9am-1pm; Sat, 10am-1pm.

Cleverly packed into this shop are five main zones dedicated to the Hamptons look, with furniture and accessories that speak to this elegant, east-coast American style. Walk through to discover different rooms, including living and dining, stocked with pieces in the washed and painted timber and blue-and-white or sea-green schemes of classic beach-style living. Elaine Ellis launched this shop last year and also offers custom upholstery designed in-house and made locally, as well as a styling service. 

Must-have: Ginger jar $189/50cm tall.

Open: Mon-Thu & Sat, 9.30am-4.30pm; Fri, 9.30am-4pm.

While you're there...

A little under four kilometres, the loop walk around Lake Monger to the south-east offers views of the city and a bevy of black swans and other waterbirds. Marked around this pretty reserve’s perimeter are play areas, a nature trail and picnic grounds. In the neighbouring suburb of North Perth is the must-visit Hobart Deli at 45 Hobart Street. Dine on a tantalising array of fresh food for breakfast and lunch, or peruse cookbooks and gift cards while you wait for your barista coffee. Next door, Urban Soul Living (urbansoulliving.com.au) celebrates a love of global roaming. Find throws and other pieces sourced by the owner from artisans in Tanzania, inky ceramics from Yuniko Studio and handmade textiles by Madam Bukeshla.
