By Naomi Findlay With so much focus on creating the perfect space, it can be extremely easy to overlook the entry points of a room. A door is the first hint of what lies beyond; a bare wood finish can put a “plain Jane” vibe on an otherwise contemporary interior. Likewise, a battered door covered […]
By Naomi Findlay When deciding to renovate or refresh a room, the first points of focus tend to be the walls, the floors, the doors and even the tiles. The ceiling is an important element that is often overlooked until everything else has been updated. This ‘fifth wall’ needs to complement the rest of the […]
By Naomi Findlay Whether you’re planning to stay or sell, painting the interior of your home is one of the easiest ways to transform it from tired to bright and fresh. However, the mere thought of covering every inch of wall, ceiling and cornice with fresh paint is often exhausting enough to put off even the […]
By Naomi Findlay Painting walls is by far one of the simplest ways to freshen up a room. From toning down the outdated yellow tinge in the living room, to adding a pop of colour in the kids’ bedrooms, walls are the canvas for your interior vision. To ensure the end result is just what […]
By Naomi Findlay Before guests step foot inside your home, what is the first thing they see? If the answer is a façade covered in flaking paint or last century’s colour scheme, it may be prime time for a paint redo. A few fresh coats can give your home some serious curbside appeal – but […]

That’s our credo with all […]
By Naomi Findlay Let’s face it, bathrooms should be spaces of zen and relaxation. No matter how big or small, every home deserves a beautiful, practical bathroom. Rather than spending big on major renovations (bathroom renovations and dollar signs go hand in hand), there are some simple changes you can do to update the look […]
They say the kitchen is the heart of the home. Whether large or small, your kitchen deserves to look its best. But we all know how expensive a kitchen renovation can be – so rather than ripping out the cabinetry to keep up with this year’s trends, why not simply spruce them up with a […]
By Naomi Findlay It’s no secret that kitchens and bathrooms are the highlights of the modern home. A tacky blue tile in the shower or 70s floral design can make your home look tired and dated. Before you take out a second loan and throw a sledgehammer at those eyesores, there is a quick and […]

Analysing more than 32,000 listing photos of homes that had sold across the US, it found blue was a colour that people gravitated to, which possibly explains why it seems to be the colour du jour. In kitchens, bathrooms, bedrooms, […]
Whether you’re renovating to sell or quite happy to stay put with the end result (for the time being at least), maximising your potential for profit is something that should underpin the decisions you make for your reno. From deciding on layout to choosing appliances, most renovators have a strong idea of who their target […]
When it comes to decorating and furnishing your home, there are a few things you’d probably never dream about buying online. Until now! They include paint, tiles, window furnishings and rugs. They’re either too hard to buy online because of the necessity to touch or see the product; the fact you’ve never traditionally bought them […]
It’s well understood that renovating a kitchen or bathroom, aside from making it much more enjoyable to use, can add substantial value to a home. But sometimes replacing kitchen cabinets or bathroom tubs is simply out of the question, due to the heavy financial burden, which is where DIY solutions come in. From resurfacing tiles […]

Located in the Melbourne suburb of Armadale, this 1960’s two-bedroom apartment got the budget makeover treatment recently with amazing results. Carried out almost entirely by the owners Alannah and Dave, the project makes impressive use of paint as a key renovating tool. “Our apartment isn’t big, and had previously been painted all in white, so […]
Like us, when it comes to paint, you’re probably tired of seeing the usual suspects – variants of grey and white. But if we’re honest, these ‘safe’ colours can be rather uninteresting and even more so when you consider that the colour wheel offers so many other choices. We get it though, neutrals allow you […]
We’ve all been there, midway through an exciting reno project only to realise that we haven’t done as much pre-prep ‘homework’ as we probably should have! Mistakes and stuff ups are common place with any reno, usually due to lack of knowledge, preparation and inadequate tools. To achieve professional results and prevent mistakes when it […]
