Home Base Design & Build Centre is a one-stop-shop for all things interior and exterior design in the heart of Subi.
As the pace of the year slows and summer holidays draw closer, thoughts often turn to home — and the projects we’ve been meaning to start all year. Perhaps 2026 will finally be the year the dream build or long-overdue renovation moves from “maybe someday” to “soon.” Whatever your home project plans, Home Base Design & Build Centre in Subiaco is the perfect place to get inspired, get informed … and get the project started! Proudly independent and locally owned since its inception in 1988, the centre has been a trusted destination for Perth homeowners, renovators and industry professionals for almost 40 years, and a staple of the Subiaco area. Three levels of displays and showrooms offer thousands of products and ideas for every home style and project type. Visitors can browse at their own pace, chat with in-centre experts for specialist advice and collect samples, swatches and brochures to take home.
On Brand
Never before have so many local and national names in design and building been housed under one roof, helping to make the centre Australia’s largest building, renovating, decorating and landscaping destination. Key showrooms include Midland Brick, Caesarstone, Gainsborough, Kresta, Laminex, Jason Windows, Euro Appliances, James Hardie and Smartstone, among others. “One of the best things about Home Base Design & Build Centre is being able to see and compare products and materials in real life,” says Crystal Roberts, Marketing and Education Manager. “Seeing colours and feeling textures is a natural starting point, but it’s also about understanding functionality. It’s one thing to look online, but another to physically open and close a bifold door to experience how it moves or stand at different kitchen benches to see which height suits you best.”
Fresh Faces
Recent showroom additions include De Dietrich Australia, a premium French appliance brand recognised for its sleek design and advanced European cooking technology. With its first Perth showroom exclusive to Home Base Design & Build Centre, De Dietrich brings a new level of innovation and luxury to WA homes. Two more signature brands now calling Subiaco home are ABI Interiors and Nero Tapware. Their extensive showrooms offer the latest finishes and styles in tapware, showers and accessories for kitchens, bathrooms and laundries. Also new to the centre is Stone Ambassador, showcasing architecturally inspired porcelain and Vitrified Compact Surface products ideal for benchtops, splashbacks and vanities.
Master the Basics
Before diving into a new project, it’s always worthwhile to take the time to learn the fundamentals. Home Base Design & Build Centre offers a range of inspiring courses and masterclasses, presented by local industry experts and designed to provide practical advice and real-life application. From owner-building and garden design to hands-on workshops in colour theory, there’s something to fill every knowledge gap and give you the confidence to tackle your project.
(Free) Hour of Power
If your builder’s pre-start meeting is approaching, paint selections are keeping you up at night, or you’re unsure about your new kitchen layout, a Meet the Designer consultation could be just what you need. One-hour sessions are available every Thursday, Friday and Saturday. You’ll walk away with practical advice and an expert opinion — and it’s completely free.
