Directors Insights - Is Now The Time To Renovate?

Choosing to renovate your home is a huge decision. Whether your family is growing or your design tastes are evolving, a renovation is the best way to accommodate lifestyle changes while maintaining your home's sentimental value. 

More and more, our clients are requesting remodeling consults and designs to upgrade their homes and inject personality into their personal space.

Why Renovate Now

With property prices continuing to soar, the benefits of renovating are steadily outweighing the drawbacks. 

Renovating your home means:

  • Avoiding the stress of buying a new home, packing and moving

  • Your emotional attachment remains tangible 

  • Significantly increasing your property value 

  • Revamping its aesthetic to suit your growing style

  • Tailoring your living space to changes in your personal and business life 


Renovating In The current Climate

Our workload can attest to the skyrocketed rate of home renovations since the pandemic, specifically with kitchen and bathroom remodels. 
Since 2020, Australian banks reported a spike in home-owners refinancing and reassessing their financials. Lockdown restrictions gave Australians a newfound appreciation for owning their homes and time to re-evaluate their property’s functionality and aesthetics.  
That small kitchen they always wanted to extend? That walk-in-robe they always dreamed about? The pandemic gave property owners the push they needed to upgrade their homes.  

The HomeBuilder grant also greatly influenced the home renovation rate, with eligible homeowners utilising their grant funds in addition to their capital input. The high number of HomeBuilder applications has seen a slow processing time, with people still waiting on their funds.  
While no doubt frustrating for homeowners awaiting their grant, we know the increasing home renovation rate will continue.  
And no home renovation is complete without updated cabinetry, particularly in the most commonly used areas of the home.

Custom cabinetry Will Make Your Renovation

We commonly carry out kitchen and bathroom remodels for our Sunshine Coast and Brisbane clients' home renovations, focusing on additional storage and spatial considerations.
From modern bathroom vanities to customised kitchen cabinets, bespoke cabinetry designs can transform the home areas experiencing the most foot traffic and cater to awkward, unconventional spaces. 

The great thing about renovating in the current climate is clients have made an informed decision to stay in their homes, meaning they plan on enjoying their remodelled spaces. This decision has influenced their demand for custom cabinetry that looks good and reflects their taste and lifestyle. 

If you are financially unable to complete a full-home renovation, kitchen and bathroom remodels are an effectively good start. Who wouldn't enjoy a home with a larger or additional bathroom and more functional space to prepare meals?
