For the past two weeks, our talented designers Lauren Gibbs and Emma Hewetson have been on site, leading the FF&E and installation for this premium facility — helping to deliver beautifully finished independent living apartments and luxury care suites that support both rest home and hospital-level care.

What is FF&E and why does it matter?

For Spaceworks, FF&E (Furniture, Fixtures & Equipment) is more than just furnishing, it’s about:

• Creating environments that feel warm, dignified, and engaging
• Selecting durable, fit-for-purpose products that stand the test of time
• Enhancing resident wellbeing and safety
• Supporting operational needs
• Leveraging our trusted supplier network to deliver cost-effective solutions for every budget
• Managing end-to-end installation for a smooth, stress-free delivery

Spaceworks has been brought into numerous aged care projects because of our ability to accurately forecast budgets from the very start. From the initial draft space plan, we establish a clear budget, specify accordingly, and manage these elements right through to delivery.

Depending on the needs of the aged care provider, we either handle procurement directly or manage purchase orders on their behalf. We then oversee the entire process — coordinating logistics, ensuring health & safety compliance, and placing everything from furniture and appliances to artwork and cutlery. And it’s not just FF&E — we take care of operational essentials too, from gloves and handwash to paper towels and everything in between.

From selecting and sourcing to installation, we manage the complete process, ensuring every detail fits the design intent, budget, and user experience. With strong relationships across a wide network of trusted suppliers, we’re able to source cost-effective products without compromising on quality or aesthetic.
