Bathroom renovations can get pretty pricey, pretty quickly. There are a ton of variables at play that will determine the amount of money that you’ll have to (or want to) spend when it comes to overhauling your lavatory. Whether you have a small bathroom or a large one, the material, current condition of the plumbing and structural integrity are all things that can determine just how deep you will have to dip into your pockets.

But, transforming your bathroom from old to up-to-date doesn’t have to break the bank. Plus, saving money where you can is never a bad idea. It leaves a bit of wiggle room to ensure that you can do all the important things right — like plumbing.

Here are a few ways that can save you some money on your bathroom remodel.

The kitchen is usually the room of your home with the most foot traffic; it's where everyone goes to gather. But it's also the most lived-in space for your always-on appliances and infrastructure, such as the oven, stove, fridge, microwave and more. In short, your kitchen is the household hub for just about everything that's important.

Of all the surfaces in your home, your carpet is arguably the most susceptible to stubborn stains. From dirt and debris that tracks in from the outside to mishandled food and beverages that spill, the carpet is perpetually at risk for one stain after another. And the more carpet that you have in the home, the more likely it'll eventually fall victim to blotches and blemishes from offending sources.

For a bedroom interior design style that reflects a live-for-the-moment outlook on life, look no further than modern decor. Originating from sources like Bauhaus, the Germany-based school of fine arts that operated during the early 20th century, modern decor is as popular today as it's ever been. In fact, it's a design style that is often applied to every space in the home, kitchen, guest bedroom, master bedroom or otherwise.

When a bedroom doesn't have enough storage space, it’s often a deal breaker. People need a place to keep all of their stuff, after all — and preferably out of sight. With small bedrooms, cramming in more storage solutions can feel counterintuitive since you’re already limited on space, to begin with. Well, the good news is that you’re not restricted to what your living space offers by default in terms of storage; there are ways to tastefully and brilliantly cache your belongings when you’re working with a tiny bedroom. Here are some small bedroom storage ideas and tips for maximising floor space.

Scandinavian interior design, popularised by influential Dane, Swedish and Nordic designers throughout the 1800s and 1900s, has shaped contemporary design in a big way. Figures like Hans Wegner, Josef Frank and Kaare Klint are just some of the masterminds behind the now ubiquitous aesthetic. These artists preceded and blazed a trail for Scandinavian design’s boom in popularity, which didn’t start until the 1950s. But today, Scandinavian interior design is all the rage — and with the help of social media, arguably more accessible and prominent than it’s ever been.

Arguably, there is no single room in the typical family home that works harder than the laundry room. Whether it's the washing machine rinsing and scrubbing your kids' grass-stained jeans or the dryer handling your workout shorts and T-shirts, the laundry space is your first and last line of defence for preserving the freshness of your clothes.

Imagine being able to relax on the couch whilst having your floors cleaned at the press of a button.

Well, now you can!

You’ve just laid your brand new timber or laminate floors and have a whole bunch of offcuts or even a few surplus lengths that you don’t need? Don’t throw them away. Upcycle!

Colour selection can be a difficult process when choosing to buy a new rug online or a carpet to add to your home. Too many colours can overwhelm a room and make it feel very busy and cluttered, while not enough colour variation can leave a room looking stark and boring.

Making your room appear larger visually enhances the space, creating an aesthetically pleasing room! Learn how below.

Kitchens are no longer only about cooking – they’re also for living. Cooked meals fill a house with energy – both literal and metaphorical – aromas and comfort that tickle our senses and help to solidify our sense of “home”. With the rise of open-plan kitchen-living spaces, kitchens have become social hubs as well.

From your choice of living room rug to the colour you paint the walls, your living room design determines how comfortable and welcome you, your family and guests feel in your home. In this article, we’ll discuss why the living room is so critical to the home and how you can create your perfect living room design.

The carpet in your home puts up with a lot during its lifetime. With good maintenance, it can handle general wear and tear throughout the years, however, there comes a time when it’ll face substances that can’t be banished with a quick vacuum.

When choosing flooring for your home, one of the first things you should consider is the amount of activity the room sees. Is it the main thoroughfare through your house, connecting the entrance to your living spaces or bedrooms? Is it a space where family and friends like to congregate, like the kitchen or lounge?
