Overview
This full-scale renovation in Fig Tree Pocket brought fresh life to a classic home, transforming it into a bright, modern sanctuary for family living and entertaining. Working closely with the homeowners, our team reimagined every major space—from the kitchen, bathrooms, and bedrooms to hallways and custom-built features—blending clean lines with playful character.
The renovation focused on improving layout and flow, opening up once-closed rooms into expansive communal spaces. With standout materials like herringbone blackbutt timber floors, crisp white walls, and eye-catching black accents, the home now offers a bold yet welcoming look and feel. Feature wallpapers, curved cabinetry, and a custom coffered wall complete the picture of high-end style that still feels right at home in Brisbane’s leafy west.
This project showcases the best of local residential renovation work: smart reconfiguration, custom carpentry, and beautifully detailed finishes.

Kitchen
The heart of this Fig Tree Pocket renovation is the sleek, open-plan kitchen and dining area. A space once closed off by walls is now a seamless hub for family life, anchored by a stunning custom-built island featuring soft curves and a minimalist profile. This showstopping centrepiece pairs light and dark contrasting cabinetry with a modern stone benchtop, setting the tone for the entire home’s design—a blend of sophistication, contrast, and warmth.
The butler’s pantry sits just behind the main kitchen, offering additional storage and prep space without interrupting the clean sightlines and flow of the room. Clever use of materials elevates the aesthetic while staying highly practical for everyday use.
Overhead, feature lighting adds a sculptural element, casting soft light over the herringbone timber floors and crisp white walls. The dining area flows effortlessly from the kitchen, creating a welcoming space for everything from casual breakfasts to weekend entertaining. Every detail was considered to ensure the room worked hard for family life, but it looked like a magazine spread while doing it.
Living Spaces
From quiet nights in to weekend movie marathons, the living spaces in this Fig Tree Pocket renovation were designed for comfort, connection, and a touch of flair. We reworked the layout to improve flow and light, opening the home and creating a more modern, breathable feel.
In the cinema room, bold black floral wallpaper makes a dramatic statement, turning the space into an intimate retreat for family movie nights or entertaining guests. In contrast, the adjoining lounge area leans into clean lines and calm tones, letting the natural textures of the herringbone blackbutt flooring and light-filled windows shine.
The hallway is far from just a pass-through—it’s a design moment in its own right. A custom coffered white feature wall adds texture and depth, making even the most transitional space feel elevated. Combined with black-and-white gingham wallpaper in adjacent areas, the overall design walks a fine line between minimal modern and warm character-filled family home.
These shared areas show how thoughtful interior renovation can completely transform how a home feels, moves, and functions—all while keeping a relaxed Brisbane lifestyle front and centre.
Bedrooms
Each bedroom in this Fig Tree Pocket home was refreshed with a calm, cohesive look that suits both rest and productivity. Custom cabinetry in bedrooms 2, 3, and 4 offers built-in desks and robes—perfect for growing families, homework stations, or creative hobbies. These spaces were stripped back to bare walls and rebuilt with fresh flooring, new windows, and crisp white paint, allowing the natural textures of timber and soft furnishings to take centre stage.
Whether styled for kids, guests, or a peaceful main bedroom retreat, each room now balances practicality and comfort, ideal for modern family life in Brisbane’s western suburbs.
Laundry
This compact laundry now packs a design punch, with custom cabinetry, integrated storage, and a stylish tiled splashback. Sand-toned floor tiles and clean white finishes keep the room feeling fresh and bright, while the gingham black and white wallpaper accents tie in with the rest of the home’s high-contrast palette.
Behind the good looks is a focus on everyday functionality—something every family renovation in Brisbane West needs. This laundry is now easy to use, easy to clean, and built to last.
Bathrooms
The main bathroom, ensuite, and powder room were completely demolished and rebuilt to reflect a modern, calming aesthetic with top-quality finishes. In the bathrooms, floor-to-ceiling grey marble herringbone tiles create a sense of luxury, softened by warm lighting and understated fittings. Niches in the showers add function without interrupting the flow of the space.
The ensuite features a sleek vanity, elegant stone benchtop, and frameless glass shower screen, giving it a day-spa feel right at home. Meanwhile, the WC and powder room echo the main palette, with tiled skirting and clean lines ensuring every square metre feels considered and cohesive.
Whether you’re racing through the morning routine or soaking in a long weekend wind-down, these bathrooms are proof that smart design can turn any renovation into something special.
