The leading objective of this renovation was to modernise both the layout and style of the interiors. As they were, the bathroom, powder room, and laundry of this 1970s home had remained stuck in their original era, featuring less-loved characteristics such as caramel coloured benchtops and dated linoleum flooring. 

Mark Morrison and his team from Refresh Renovations managed the renovation from design to build, and the results are fantastic. All rooms have been transformed with a crisp white colour scheme, hardwood flooring, and reconfigured layouts that make the most of the space available.

The homeowners of this 1970s property approached local Renovation Consultant Lia Boersma from Refresh Renovations for assistance in undertaking an extensive transformation. They wished to upgrade the kitchen, combine the bathroom and adjacent powder room, and move the home’s hot water cylinder from a linen cupboard to the laundry room. 

For the new interiors, the homeowners also had a specific vision in mind; they wanted the ease of modern functionality combined with a 70s inspired style. This concept is captured perfectly in the renovation’s results. Retro yet refined, charming yet spacious. It’s a superb fusion that can only be achieved with careful attention to detail.

This ensuite upgrade by Refresh Renovations was all about marrying old with new. As a 1920s villa, the Karapiro home had loads of character that the homeowner wanted to retain in their bathroom’s new design – but it also needed modernising. Renovation Consultant Steve Roper managed to bring the two styles together, creating a truly unique look.

A spacious shower now takes up the ensuite’s entire back wall where the previous bathtub had stood. Touches of art deco style such as the geometric mirror, patterned floor tiles, and decorative shiplap exist harmoniously among modern elements, including dual showerheads, copper tapware, and an oval basin.

These Manurewa homeowners contacted Refresh Renovations for professional assistance in bringing their home improvement ideas to life. These included converting their garage into a sleepout, building a semi-covered deck, and updating their main bathroom with a contemporary design. Local Renovation Consultant Kim Reiche managed the entire project from design to build and delivered the massive transformation to a high-quality finish. 

Although the new sleepout provides the perfect additional living area for the family, it has been established as a full guest suite and features its own kitchenette and modern bathroom. The sleepout’s sliding door opens onto the new deck, which carries over to the main house for ultimate indoor/outdoor flow. And as for the updated bathroom, a sophisticated colour scheme, floor to ceiling grey tiles, and matte black tapware combine to create a relaxing retreat.

The owners of this property in Havelock North had initially considered updating their kitchen and that alone. But after a consultation with Renovation Consultants Sophie Rodyhouse-Ross and Mike Ross, they found a handful of opportunities that would create the bright, modern interiors they desired. 

After 35 and a half weeks, this home was transformed throughout its main living areas. The kitchen received the stunning upgrade which the homeowners had originally sought after. However, their dining room, two lounges, and main bathroom were also updated with sleek yet relaxing designs.

This 80s Lower Hutt bungalow needed a kitchen upgrade. To undertake the project, the homeowner got in touch with Refresh Renovations. Focusing on maximising the use of space with a minimalist design, local Renovation Consultant Lia Boersma got stuck into the revitalisation. 

The previously outdated kitchen now sports a contemporary look with concealed storage, including a hidden toastie press compartment, floating microwave shelf, and tiered swivelling shelves. Other notable features include the handless cabinetry, marble benchtops, and light colour scheme, which contribute to establishing a sleek, more spacious appearance.

Renovation Consultant Leigh McDonald worked diligently to bring the homeowner’s vision to life; the big picture being to create a modern bathroom and laundry room that would be practical to use.

The renovated bathroom now features a spacious shower with dual shower heads, a back-to-wall bathtub, and floor-to-ceiling grey tiling. Meanwhile, the laundry room has been freshened up with white walls, upgraded with plentiful cabinetry, and continues the grey tile motif used in the bathroom.

Above all, improving functionality was most important for this renovation, which is precisely what Leigh from Refresh Renovations has achieved.

This renovation involved completely upgrading the property’s bathroom and making additional improvements to the kitchen and front door. Throughout the process, Renovation Consultant Lia Boersma (from Refresh Renovations) worked collaboratively with the homeowner to ensure the outcome reflected their vision in mind – the results of which are stunning.

Of the upgrades, the bathroom’s renovation is undoubtedly the standout transformation. Unique tiling patterns were the focal point of this room’s design. Striking stack bond tiling spans the walls and is met halfway up by horizontal chevron tiling, creating a beautiful distinction between the colours and shapes. Meanwhile, the new walk-in shower, custom-built shelving, and floating vanity provide exceptional functional enhancements.
