At  29, the Vast Interior Founder, Ross Clayton, had a dream to combine his passions of  travel , community involvement and furniture design. Thus the Vast Interior was born. The idea was to create a unique imported furniture and homewares store that used maximum economies of scale to deliver  exclusive design and functionality at a great price-point. 

 From the opening of the first store in Toormina, Coffs Harbour in 1999,  Vast now has over 40 stores spread throughout the East Coast of Australia, and New Zealand ( Christchurch and Wellington).
