Presented by the Design Institute of Australia, designEX and Artichoke, the Australian Interior Design Awards celebrate the best in Australian residential and commercial interior design. In the nine years since it was established, the program has experienced a huge increase in applications.

The Awards shortlist will be published online on 12 March, with winners and commendations revealed at a gala dinner on Friday 20 April at Doltone House, Jones Bay Wharf, Sydney.
