What to consider when it comes to renovating your home in Melbourne.
There are many things to take into consideration when it comes to renovations and remodelling of your home. For example, do you choose to renovate your entire home at once or on a room-by-room basis? Remodelling one room at a time during your renovation project allows you to live within the space and gives you an opportunity to work out what works and what doesn’t. Whilst, renovating your entire home at one time can be more time efficient overall and more costly.
No matter what you choose, it is important for you to plan your renovation project ahead of time to ensure a smooth process for all personnel involved. Here are some factors to consider when it comes to your home renovation.
• The cost.
• Value.
• Functionality.
• Design.
• Duration.
Why do people renovate their homes?
One of the most common reasons people renovate or remodel spaces in their home is to add value to their property.
If you are considering putting your property on the market, you’ll want to maximise its value beforehand by renovating rooms that provide the biggest return and entice more potential buyers. Renovated homes generally generate more interest, have a faster selling time, and deliver a larger profit than non-renovated homes.
For other homeowners, it’s time to upgrade and update their dream home.
Buying a home and settling down is an Australian dream many of us share, but what if your family grows beyond what your home can handle? For many moving is not an option, so taking on the challenge of renovating your dream home to accommodate your family’s needs is a choice many makes. It could be a new addition to the family, or the kids are getting older and the spaces within your home do not meet their changing needs. There are many options available when it comes to renovating your existing home, from increasing space, functionality, storage and overall comfort for everyone. A renovation can allow you to make more room for the kids, add a parent retreat or add an additional user-friendly outdoor space.
Whatever your reason for renovating may be, a renovation gives you an opportunity to refresh, repair and revive your home. For many people, renovations are about making existing space more functional and modernising the design.
Here are 4 of the top spaces in your home to consider renovating.

One of the first things homeowners look at is rejuvenating an old, dirty, dysfunctional bathroom and turning it into a bright, clean, functional and modern bathroom. The cost of a bathroom renovation can be kept relatively low, with the magic of fresh fixtures and tiles. As a wet space within your home, it is recommended you consider updating your bathroom every 8 to 10 years. The value of a renovated bathroom can increase your property's value immensely.

Kitchen renovations are recommended every 10 – 15 years, during this time kitchens will experience significant fair wear and tear.
