About this space

Tucked behind black barn doors in Brisbane, The Borrowed Nursery is a lush, light-filled sanctuary that effortlessly brings the outdoors in. Once an old mechanic’s workshop, this unique location has been thoughtfully transformed into a shoot-ready backdrop that merges industrial bones with botanical warmth.

Crisp white VJ panelled walls contrast beautifully with the raw textures of exposed timber beam ceilings, creating a clean yet character-rich canvas that suits a wide range of creative projects. The space is home to an eclectic collection of thriving greenery and sculptural pots, offering instant atmosphere and depth for content that leans into organic, vibrant, or nature-led storytelling.

Natural light pours in throughout the day, enhanced by the soft white interiors that bounce and diffuse light beautifully—making it a reliable choice for both stills and video. Whether you’re capturing flat lays, styled tablescapes, or larger-scale editorial scenes, every corner presents a new frame.

Out the back, a styled picnic area provides an outdoor extension to the shoot zone—perfect for lifestyle content, relaxed setups, or team breaks between takes. The entire space is air-conditioned, Wi-Fi enabled, and thoughtfully uncluttered, with just enough charm to inspire without overwhelming your vision.

Located in Brisbane, Queensland, The Borrowed Nursery is ideal for branding shoots, product features, wellness campaigns, and creative workshops that want to tap into a botanical aesthetic without the unpredictability of outdoor shooting.

From the moment you walk in, it’s easy to visualise an entire day of content—starting with wide shots in the open-plan main area, moving through tighter vignettes among the greenery, and finishing with golden-hour frames outside. Everything about the space is designed to support flow, flexibility, and creative ease.

For teams looking to book a green-forward, character-filled photoshoot location in Brisbane, The Borrowed Nursery delivers both atmosphere and usability in equal measure.
