What are the current granny flat trends in Brisbane?

Because of the size restrictions of granny flats in Brisbane, you’ll usually be working with a small area of around 80m2 or less. That makes it absolutely vital to maximise space.
Fortunately, you can easily find inspiration from the current trends of tiny homes. And additionally, you’ll find the minimalist design movement really comes in handy.
So, what is trending? People are looking to simplify their spaces, with comfort over couture becoming more of a priority. There is also a strong focus on sustainability and cleaner living - keeping it simple is the ultimate answer.
When dreaming up your granny flat design, you should also consider using natural materials such as timber. Prioritise clean, smooth lines - both inside and out - and focus on using neutral colours to make the space more open and inviting.
