Homeart, also previously known as Copperart, was a national chain of retail stores with outlets in every state in Australia selling mostly homewares, giftware and electrical products.
On 1 August 1979, Mr and Mrs van Roest's first store to carry the name Copperart was opened on Canterbury Road, Blackburn, Victoria.
Copperart initially sold mostly copper and brass products, but the company expanded in the 1980s to include a broader range of homewares.
By the year 2000, the product range in the Copperart stores had changed dramatically and bore little resemblance to original concept; the once famous copper and brass had virtually disappeared.
During the 1990s, Copperart television commercials used the well-known Pete Smith, best known for his voiceovers on Sale of the Century, The Don Lane Show, and In Melbourne Tonight.
