Most people know Fragments for our architectural hardware, and it's certainly what we sell most of. But there's a lot more to discover in the shop!

Over the years, we've brought together a varied mix of products for people renovating, decorating, or simply looking for something a little different.

Alongside door handles, locks, hinges and cabinet handles, you'll find a wonderful range of lighting, traditional tapware, baths and basins, fireclay sinks, Porter's Paints, wallpaper and decorative architectural fittings.

Then there's Chris's furniture. Old and new timber tables, interesting cupboards, chairs, antique decorative pieces, trunks and all sorts of unusual finds. Some pieces have been restored or given a new purpose, while others are lovely just as they are.

I love that someone might come in looking for a door handle and end up spending half an hour wandering around looking at everything else.

There's nowhere else like it in Tasmania, so if you haven't visited us for a while, perhaps it's time for another look. You might be surprised by what you find.

I don’t think I’ve ever devoted a post specifically to a loo before, but every house needs at least one!

This is the new Stafford toilet suite by Turner Hastings, and we expect ours to arrive for display at Fragments soon.

Customers renovating older houses often ask us where they can find a toilet that actually suits a traditional bathroom, rather than looking conspicuously modern. It’s something we haven’t had a good option for in the shop for a while, so I’m very pleased to be adding this one.

We can also supply the matching pedestal basin shown here, along with tapware, bathroom fittings, lighting, switches, door and cabinet hardware and many of the other details needed for a period or classic home.

Fragments is Tasmania’s only specialist renovation store, and helping people find fittings that actually belong in an older house is still very much what we do.

If you’re renovating a bathroom and would like to see the Stafford in person, it should be on display in the next couple of weeks!

A little wander through Fragments.

There’s always something different in the shop, from antique and vintage furniture to pieces handcrafted by Chris, along with restoration hardware, lighting and other beautiful details for your home.

Most of our furniture pieces are one-offs, so if you spot something in the reel that catches your eye, send us a message. We’re always happy to provide more information, dimensions and pricing.

And, of course, there’s much more to see if you can pop in!

Wallpaper can add so much to a room.

It can be soft and subtle, adding just enough pattern or texture to make a hallway, bedroom or sitting room feel more finished. Or it can be bold and striking, which can be wonderful in smaller spaces like powder rooms, entries and rooms where you want more impact.

In older houses, wallpaper can also help bring back some of the detail and character that may have been lost over time. It doesn’t have to feel old-fashioned or overpowering. The right wallpaper can be quiet, elegant, playful, traditional or dramatic, depending on the room and the effect you want.

At Fragments, we have wallpaper books in store, along with Porter’s Paints, lighting, door hardware, bathroom fittings and many of the other details that help a period home renovation look and feel right.

Come in and have a look through the books if you’re thinking about using wallpaper in your home. Samples are always worth seeing in real life.

Fragments is a small, local business, but we can supply many of the finishing details that make a period renovation feel right: door hardware, cabinet hardware, lighting, fireclay sinks, bathroom fittings, tapware, window hardware, Porter’s Paints, wallpaper, ceiling roses and handcrafted furniture made by Chris.

We’re Tasmania’s only specialist renovation store, and we’ve spent decades helping customers choose products with character, quality and longevity.

If you’re renovating an older home, restoring original details, or trying to bring some character back into a house that’s been altered over time, come in and talk to us.

The details really do make a difference.

If you’re planning a new kitchen, laundry or pantry, I hope a fireclay sink is high on your list!

I know there are plenty of practical decisions to make when you’re renovating, and it’s easy to think of a sink as just one more thing to choose. But the right sink can completely change the look and feel of a room.

Fireclay sinks aren’t only for farmhouse kitchens. They can be classic, simple, generous, decorative, or quite contemporary, depending on the shape, installation and tapware you choose.

They’re one of those choices that never dates. They have character, weight and warmth, and they work beautifully in old houses as well as newer spaces where you want something more timeless than a standard stainless steel sink.

At Fragments, we sell the full range of Turner Hastings and 1901 Sinks, including farmhouse, butler, fluted, undermount, single- and double-bowl designs.

If you’re not sure what size, style or configuration would work best, come in and talk to us. A sink is something you’ll use every day, so it’s worth choosing one you’ll still love years from now.

One of the things I’ve always admired about Chris is his ability to see possibilities in old furniture that most of us would miss. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve looked at pieces of furniture in the basement at the shop that he’s picked up at auction and thought, “What on earth does he want that for?” He always has a reason and a plan, though.

This sofa table started life as a much larger old table. Part of the top was no longer usable, so Chris narrowed it down, kept the beautiful original edges and character of the timber, and added drawers to create something entirely new.

That kind of creativity is such a big part of what makes his furniture special. He has an extraordinary eye for proportion and detail and somehow manages to make a reworked piece feel completely natural, as though this is what it was always meant to be.

It’s now in the shop at Fragments, and there won’t be another one quite like it.

Chris has just brought another Arcadian Work Table into the shop this week.

He’s made many of these over the years, but no two are ever quite the same. Each one has its own proportions, timber character, painted finish, hardware and details; all part of what makes them so special.

They’ve always been a customer favourite at Fragments: practical, sturdy, full of character, and perfect for use in a kitchen.

This one has a beautifully distressed timber top, a painted dark blue base, brass hardware, a drawer, side hooks and a lower shelf for storage or display.

Available now in our Hobart store.

Many Fragments customers know Chris, and many have become proud owners of his handcrafted furniture pieces over the years.

His eye for detail, practical knowledge and deep understanding of restoration work are a big part of what makes Fragments such a special place.

Whether you’re looking for renovation products, advice on a tricky detail, or one of Chris’s beautifully finished furniture pieces (like this table), there’s always something worth coming in to see.

Fragments has been part of Hobart’s renovation story for more than 40 years.

From door hardware and lighting to tapware, sinks, wallpaper, cabinet hardware, handcrafted furniture, and those hard-to-find finishing details, we’ve helped Tasmanians choose products with character, quality and longevity.

If you’re renovating, restoring, or simply trying to make the right choices for your home, we’d love to help. Visit us in-store in Hobart or get in touch.
