Creating an alfresco space which exudes effortless style and luxurious ease is an essential aspect of enjoying life on the Sunshine Coast. Warm sunny days and glorious blue skies beckon us outside at every opportunity. Ensuring our alfresco areas are up to the task of constant use is a must. But as paradisical as the Sunshine Coast is, we too have insects, the days can get hot, windy and rainy (or a combination of all three!)

Any improvements made to an investment property should be based on three things: function, durability and timeless style. Use inferior products that don’t work or wear out quickly, and you’ll be facing costly replacements in no time.

Few things give the Coverings team more pleasure than taking a rough diamond and cutting it into a world class star, something our latest Sunshine Beach Apartment refresh more than afforded. Here, our clients Mitch Collins Design wanted to refurbish the dated apartment into a timeless French Rivieria chic. With spectacular views of the Pacific Ocean fringed by the green Norfolk pines of Sunshine Beach, it was an absolute pleasure to help them bring the brief to life.

Billowing swathes of dreamy sheers. Coastal hues in long lineal drops. Nature personified in jungle greens and riotous tropical prints. Curtains ain’t what they used to be, and in 2022, they’ve become a design trend in and of themselves. No longer does dressing windows come down to which colour roller blind will be least obtrusive: it’s time to be brave and embrace your unique style. Curtains are an essential interior design aspect of your home, and it’s time they needed a refresh.

There’s a topic of conversation which comes up again and again in the showroom and during installations with Coverings’ clients. As one of the most iconic destinations in Australia, it’s often an astonishing revelation, especially for those who’ve recently decided to make the Sunshine Coast their new home: everyone knows everyone! The fact is, our region is actually a pretty small place with a very tight community.

No longer the domain of university students everywhere trying to create privacy on the cheap from big yellow and blue warehouses (if you get our drift), Panel Glide Blinds have become a contemporary and versatile covering solution for luxury homes right here on the Sunshine Coast.

The brother and sister team behind Coverings Sunshine Coast are everything you’d expect from kids who grew up on the down to earth plains of the Darling Downs: hardworking, dedicated to their business and clients and fiercely supportive of their fellow Australians. Over the past years, Ali and Will have curated an outstanding directory of suppliers from across the country. These are award winning artisans and innovators leading the way in both form, function and beauty, and delivering it all from within Australia.

As a family owned and operated business, Coverings Sunshine Coast is keenly aware of how important a functional and stylish commercial space is in helping an enterprise thrive. One of the team’s favourite part of the job is helping to set up small businesses on the Sunshine Coast in a way which not only encourages that all important foot traffic through the door, but does so in a friendly and timely manner, and on budget. From umbrellas outside vibey cafes to elegant sheers which frame the cutting edge of botanical design, the team at Coverings Sunshine Coast loves it all, especially for our local businesses!

Wool carpet is one of life’s true luxuries. Slipping out of bed and allowing your feet to fall onto this deliciously soft natural texture first thing in the morning is a tonic for the day ahead. This beautiful flooring imparts warmth and comfort, transforming any space into a room of absolute retreat and rejuvenation. And with some of our carpets in this style boasting a 7-star rating, there’s so much to love about the luxe feel and classic look of wool.

Sisal is one of the most popular flooring options here at Coverings Sunshine Coast and with good reason. Lending a relaxed elegance that is contemporary yet classic, Sisal is not a flooring trend: it is a stalwart of style. Not only does it fit beautifully into the Coastal interior design aesthetic, it is completely natural, sustainable and incredibly versatile.

Getting your window coverings right the first time is crucial to a liveable space you feel comfortable in and love the look of. We’ve come across lots of clients lately who have inherited heavy drapes, mouldy venetians and even a splash of lace in their recently acquired homes.

It was a joyous day at the Coverings Sunshine Coast Showroom when Will discovered a new game changing blind option: motorised roller blinds! He loves a good remote control, and when you combine this with coverings that look luxurious and stylish with electronic enhancement… well, you can imagine the excitement.

It makes sense here on the Sunshine Coast that the dominant interior trends would centre around the Coastal or Hamptons look. However, that doesn’t mean there’s only one type of flooring available to complete the style: far from it! In fact, the general trend in 2022 centres around bringing a little more personality to that traditional coastal look of light and neutral colours, warm materials and a relaxed vibe.

When excellence in style meets exceptional views, the results are outstanding. Coverings Sunshine Coast recently had the pleasure of advising and installing a range of luxury flooring in a Hamptons inspired estate perched high above Noosa in the exclusive treelined enclave of Tinbeerwah. The results are simply stunning.

Sunshine Beach food and beverage institution, FOMO, recently asked the Coverings team for some specialist advice on a tricky space at their very popular café. Of course, Will and the team were more than happy to assist because of the high possibility of coffee and croissants challenging nature of this particular install.

It’s fair to say some of the team were more ‘pumped up’ than others to get into the ‘weighty’ task of ‘lifting’ the Noosa Springs Fitness Centre interior with the usual Coverings Sunshine Coast magic. (Did you see what we did there? Very punny!) This commercial install shows just how ‘flexible’ the Covering team is! (We’ll stop now.)

Keen to bring this established family home into the 21st Century, Will and the team were called to beautiful Sunrise Beach, tasked with transforming the inside of this double storeyed beach shack into a modern-day coastal oasis. The beautiful result of expertly laid and installed floors, shutters, blinds and awnings is obvious!

There was no gazing out at the ocean or watching swell hit Alexandra Headland a few months ago when Will and the Coverings team got to work on a beautifully positioned unit on the hill at Mooloolaba. Located within a turn of the century brick unit complex, the owners were after an overhaul of the dated interiors, going for that modern classic styling of white walls, cabinetry and stone benchtops softened with some gorgeous wood look Karndean LooseLay flooring.

Coverings Sunshine Coast is thrilled to open the doors to its beautiful new premises. For the team, this new and spacious showroom is a reflection of everything they stand for: style, integrity and an excellent finished product. For our customers, this large and welcoming space provides the perfect combination of viewing our large range of products in comfort and style, without the overwhelm of the usual cluttered shop front.
