The increased popularity of building renovation shows has inspired people to pursue their own home renovation projects. No matter whether it is a job big or small, Aussies seem to be willing to give it a go. After sitting at home watching the exciting series on Reno Rumble, The Block and My House Rules, homeowners have seen that with a little hard work, these contestants have been able to profit really big and change their lives for the better. Families around Australia are keen to get their slice of the renovation pie. There are a few tricks that people can use to get started. The team from Belle Skylights has provided a few ideas below.
The elaborate kitchen
Walking into an elaborate kitchen doesn’t just make you feel like you want to be in that room, it makes you feel that you can become a master chef! If you’ve watched TV shows such as ‘Hot Plate’ or ‘Master Chef’, then you will know how it feels to be inspired to cook up a feast! Your cooking station is where all the magic will happen. Renovators have seen the impact an incredible kitchen can have on the home and by investing in a more modern and commercial style kitchen. Additions that can spice up the kitchen include:
- Good ovens and stoves
- Large bench tops and island workstations that can also double as an entertainment area.
- Wine pantry (mini wine cellar)
- Dishwashers
- Good fridge with an icemaker.
The surfaces that are made from marble are much easier to clean and are more suited to the kitchen space. Additionally, increasing the ambiance of the kitchen through lighting (whether it is artificial or natural) will improve the motivation of homeowners and guests to socialize around the kitchen area. Many renovators have tried to open up their kitchen to the outside world by installing window options to bring the feeling of the outside environment inside the home. And it has been paying off big time for those that have taken the chance with it!
Light and space
The easiest way to add a touch of elegance and luxury to your property is to add more light into the rooms. Having more light in a property not only increases the brightness, but also helps to improve moods and the positive ambiance and energy for the room. Functional benefits also include boosting the energy efficiency within your home by using the natural light and heat. If you combine this with the addition of mirrors and glass ‘bling’ objects around the home, the rooms should feel more spacious and also have an added touch of glamour.
Walk in wardrobe
Can you really get a better feeling than walking into your own walk-in wardrobe? They say size doesn’t matter, but the impression that you get when you can walk into your own clothing storage space and easily select what you want off the rack is an amazing feeling. It gives your room that extra sense of grandeur, rather than being confined to a small space that doesn’t offer any emotional spark at all.
The master bedroom
The master bedroom needs to be what it says on the tin. If you can walk into the room and feel like a king or queen, and your emotional senses tell you it is right, you will improve the perceived value of the home and people will also drive people to purchase the home on emotion as well as the functional elements. This means your home can get much more bang for its buck!
Bathroom fit for a king and queen
Stepping into a nice bathroom can feel like an absolutely magical experience. There is a lot of inspiration to be taken from television shows like Reno Rumble and The Block. The contestants would often install modern designs that would incorporate brightness with added lighting (both natural and artificial) and fittings from the mirrors to the tiling, taps, showerheads, basins, baths and towel racks. Another addition to give the bathroom a more elegant feel is to add shutters to control the amount of light, as well as to add to the interiors look and feel.
These are a few tips that you can use that have proved to be successful for contestants on the popular home renovation shows. They have profited well from making the changes and their homes are transformed into amazing masterpieces. Give your renovation dreams a go and transform your home for the better!
