This north-facing sunroom off the kitchen in a heritage home in Brisbane’s Ascot quickly became the most-loved space in the house. Originally a formal sitting room, we reimagined it as a vibrant, everyday retreat filled with colour, comfort and charm.

Using designer indoor-outdoor fabrics, we brought the outside in, making the space as practical as it is pretty. A classic pinstripe sofa, navy rattan armchairs and an iconic fig-leaf patterned fabric create a relaxed, joyful atmosphere, perfect for morning coffee, quiet reading, or soaking up the sun all year round.
