Behind the brand

At the home of Banksia Blue Studio we draw inspiration from the natural elements of the Australian landscape bringing you modern contemporary wall art prints and home decor.

The smell, look and feel of our Australian bush is something so unique. Sweet eucalyptus leaves, balmy summer days and the stillness of the warm air.

A feeling of freedom and open space is something you want to bottle up and keep forever.
It just makes you happy.
We want our designs to bring the outside in, celebrating our distinctive abundant land.
The blossoming of the Waratah, the warmth of the Banksia, the primitive feel of the landscape is what we want to capture, create and share with you.
Think natural fibres, rich coppers, reds and golds of the Australian bush mixed with a multitude of greens and vibrant hues.
The colours, textures and sounds of the bush, the rugged coastline trees and the sweet songs of our birds are all so beautiful.
Supporting a locally based production is an integral part of the Banksia Blue Studio brand ethos. We support our local community and use ethically sourced eco products wherever possible.
We hope our love affair with the Australian landscape brings heart and soul to your home.
