Little LeafCo

A former warehouse in North Fremantle, reached after the business's most recent move, operates as equal parts plant nursery, homewares shop and workshop space. It has traded as a botanical studio for more than a decade, outgrowing at least one previous address along the way, and stocks pots and planters in a range wide enough that choosing the plant is sometimes the easier decision. Vintage furniture and objects turn over alongside the greenery, sourced opportunistically rather than to a fixed brief, so the stock looks different across visits rather than settling into a static shop-fit. It is also a stockist of Annie Sloan Chalk Paint across dozens of colourways, and runs its own paint workshops on-site for anyone wanting to learn the technique rather than just buy the tin. The combination, plants that need daily watering sold next to furniture paint and one-off vintage pieces, sounds unlikely on paper, but it reflects an approach to the shop as a single considered room rather than a single category, better understood as a way of furnishing a home than a nursery with a side hustle.
