Editor’s note

EDITOR’S NOTE & CONTENTS //

Australians love to renovate. So much so, that an expected $30.59

billion will be dropped on projects this year alone. And, with a projected growth forecast, the industry shows no signs of going backwards.

The HIA Renovations Roundup market report reveals that the spend rate will steadily increase during the next three years. By 2019, we are expected to be spending around $33 billion annually on renovations.

In Queensland, the industry has grown by some 8.8 per cent during 2015 and will increase a further 5.9 per cent this year. Spend will grow from a projected $7.53 billion in 2016 to $8.57 billion in 2019. Interestingly, 24 per cent of renovation jobs fall within the cost range of $12,000 to $40,000 while 13 per cent fall in the category of $200,000 to $400,000.

There is no denying that Aussies love their homes and enjoy undertaking reno projects, whether it be a major overhaul or the addition of a new outdoor entertainment area.

Whatever your project is, we want to hear about it. Share your story, just like Bec and Craig have in this month’s edition. See page 8. Email me at: [email protected]

COVER STORY //

Cool runningsConcrete in bathroom design is a no-brainer. It’s easy to clean and looks stunning. When planning your bathroom think about each individual element. You can mix concrete and tiles or simply opt for a complete concrete look using different fi nishes. Vanity units, benchtops and bench seats can also be created by specialised designers.

Shining styleIf you don’t like the natural colour of concrete – use an epoxy coating to achieve a polished effect. Epoxy resin is a coloured or clear substance that will also protect your fl oor or walls.

Let’s discuss your next project!

My Renovation | May, 2016 7

BARE BEAUTY Concrete dates back long before the phrase ‘stylish design’ was bandied around. Recent years have seen the re-emergence of concrete in a completely new light, bringing the product into the interior design limelight. Concrete can be used for purposes that go beyond fl oors and walls. My Renovation shares some ideas on how to give your home the urban feel…

TREND ALERTAccording to Rebecca Bevan from Concrete

Design House, concrete incorporated with natural

elements such as jute, hemp and timber, work in perfect harmony together

adding warmth and softness to a space. Add bright splashes of yellow

and green with plants, pots, artwork and

decorative accents.

GET THE LOOK:

This kitchen was designed by

Concrete Design House.

TIPSThe team at Kunda Park’s Concrete Design House share these secrets for successfully creating a concrete paradise…• It is a versatile product

and can be used indoors and outdoors

• Concrete can be incorporated into various interior designs including industrial, contemporary, urban and traditional styles like the Hamptons’ infl uence

• Using the correct mix design and the right proven and tested sealers, you will get great water, oil and acid resistance.

Luxe lightingCarry the urban

theme through your house with industrial-

style lighting. Hanging pendants,

particularly geometrical metal designs, work well.

Hanging round globes are another

option. When using pendants stick to an odd number – three

will always look better than two.

DID YOU KNOW?Glass fi bre reinforced concrete, also known as GFRC, is lighter in weight and can be poured as thin as 10mm. It has high fl exural strength, is less prone to cracking and can be used to make integrated sinks, wall panels, tables, barbecue areas and kitchen counters.

REAL LIFE //

A HOME TO LOVECoast duo Craig Patterson and Bec Hann purchased their Pelican Waters home with the intent of renovating it. My Renovation caught up with them to learn about their real life project…

$73,000Total cost

Q. Is this your fi rst renovation project?A. We have done a few renovations in the past. We wanted to renovate because we could see it would add value and add equity to the property, so at its completion we could either sell for a profi t, or use the equity to renovate a different property. Q. How long did it take to complete the project?A. The actual work took eight months. Q. Did you do the work yourselves or hire a team? A. We did most of the work ourselves. Craig owns Ocean Tiling so we had a great tiler for the job, however we had to hire a plumber, electrician and a chippie. Q. What was the hardest part about the renovation? A. Living in a worksite defi nitely has its challenges but didn’t worry us too much. The hardest part was defi nitely for Craig, having to work hard at home after fi nishing a normal day of work and being committed for such a long time to get the job fi nished. Q. What is your favourite feature of the newly-renovated home?A. We defi nitely love the butler’s pantry and the main

bedroom ensuite that is like a wet room without walls. Plus, the ceiling to fl oor cupboards in the kitchen which act like a locker, and keep everyone’s things off the kitchen benches. Q. What do you love about renovating? A. Being able to change a space and create an area that you love to be in. Also the opportunity it offers to fi nancially get ahead.

Timber trendsWhite and wood are a match made in interior design heaven. This timber splashback is the ideal example of how to achieve a contemporary and functional kitchen.

KITCHEN //

Blinding white Timeless, classic and clean – a white kitchen is everything the renovator and new home buyer look for in design. It’s guaranteed not to date, but there are a few things to consider before taking the plunge. Keeping white cabinets and benchtops sparkling can take some effort so keep that in mind. Other things to consider before making a decision include: do you like a gloss or matte fi nish? Marble or plain white countertop? Should you inject colour into the kitchen with an interesting splashback? Talk to your local kitchen expert to fi gure out what will work for you.

Fresh ideasCitrus, including various tones of yellow, lime and orange, will lift and brighten the kitchen. Bowls of fruit, plants, herbs and vases are a great way to add a burst of colour.

Traditional and trendyBlack and white is a traditional colour combination that has stood the test of time. Opt for a black splashback or countertop. It will add a boldness and refreshing depth of colour to your kitchen.

Do you fi nd yourself eating dinner on the couch more often than not? My Renovation is here to help you create a beautiful dining room with these simple tips and ideas. We promise that you’ll never want to eat anywhere else again…

DISH IT UP

Round or squareMeasure your dining room and draw a fl oor plan before you start decorating. This way you know what shape and size table will work best. Do you want to go with a four-seater or an eight-seater? Round, square or rectangle? This Marseille round table is available from Dare Gallery.

WE LOVE!The Chelsea table cloth is 100 per cent cotton and made in India. The attractive diamond fl oral print in subtle dove tones with a lively yellow border is perfect for any modern indoor or outdoor setting. It’s available from Linen and Moore. Check out local stores to fi nd a similar style.

set to suit your theme. This S&P marble-look dinner set features a creative fi nish and is

crafted from porcelain. It ’s available from

Domayne.

CELAIN your dining

om porcelain. ilable from mayne.

Sleek styleIf you like a sleek and sophisticated style, keep your dining room simple. Choose a classic table, simple pendant and neutral paint. Add a rug, such as this chevron one from Dare Gallery, to inject a little fl air.

There is more to choosing table linen than selecting a pretty colour. When choosing a cloth consider the style you are trying to achieve – traditional linen will give your room a distinguished feel while standard cotton is more relaxed and easy to clean.

Here is some advice from the experts at Taubmans on how to prep your

house to paint the exterior correctly. For more information on painting and products, visit taubmans.com.au

• Wash walls with a sponge, then hose down and allow time to dry

• Bleach any walls that have mould

• Check the walls for surface damage or bumps and scrape off any loose or fl aking paint

• Use a pre-mixed grade fi ller to fi ll dents or nail holes in the walls

• For cracks or gaps, use acrylic

gap sealants that are paintable • Once the fi llers and sealers

have set, sand down the areas• Spot prime the fi lled areas with

a sealer prime undercoat• To fi nish, apply painter’s

masking tape to fi ttings such as trims, windows and doors.

new Dulux Wash&Wear sets a new standard in performance

for stain resistance and toughness. It ’s available in a

wide range of types including low sheen, super matt, super

tough and super hide.

Into the mixNo two tins of paint are exactly the same so it’s important to think ahead when painting a large area of your home. If you require more than one tin, mix the quantities together in a large bucket. This will ensure there are no slight inconsistencies in colour.

TIPS //

Dress the windowsDon’t dismiss your windows as they can be an interesting interior focal point. With the right blinds or curtains they can add to the aesthetic style of your home.

FRESH COAT

The front door is the entry point to your home. Freshen it up with a coat of paint. It ’s a quick

job that will brighten up your property instantly.

Before you begin your renovation project, remove and put away any valuables. Remodelling is a big project that can be dusty and create clutter. You don’t want to be worried about

damaging any of your valuable items.

Forward planningBefore you begin renovating,

take the time to think about each room and what it is

used for. Identifying its specifi c uses and the things you like, and don’t like, will

assist in the planning and design process.

WonderwallWhen hanging wallpaper ensure that the fi rst piece is straight. If the fi rst one is placed on the wall crooked, it will set the entire pattern and you’ll be stuck with a wonky fi nish.

When it comes to cooking great tasting barbecue food, it

helps to have a few tricks up your sleeve. Having a good selection of barbecue accessories at hand can lift your barbecue entertaining skills, say experts.

Here are the top barbecuing tips from BeefEater Barbecues to ensure your outdoor entertaining area is terrifi c... TOOL SETIt’s worth investing in a good quality tool set that can handle the high temperatures, oil and fat from the barbecue. Barbecue tools, unlike kitchen implements, need to have extra long handles for safety purposes.

ROASTING EQUIPMENTRoasting a whole bird or joint of meat on the barbecue is easier than you think with the right equipment. Opt for a high quality roasting dish such as the BeefEater BUGG Enamel Baking Dish which is especially made to withstand high barbecue temperatures. Use it with a roast holder to cradle your meat as it cooks.PIZZA STONE SET Enjoy the authentic taste of pizza cooked on the barbecue, then served to eager diners with the right equipment for the job. Pizza stone sets are easy to use.

NICE AND NATURALAn entertainment area will benefi t from an

injection of colour. When choosing plants for potting, or for nearby gardens, include some

citronella. The vibrant green is pretty but the plant will also aid in keeping mosquitoes away.

Hide awayIf your budget doesn’t stretch to including a complete outdoor area for your barbecue, like this one from BBQ and Fireplace Centre, construct a custom-built hutch. It will enclose your barbecue and protect it from the weather, plus it looks great.

fi nishing touchesAdvice and ideas to turn your

renovation into a home

BLUE MOODThe colour blue is calming yet playful. Bring it into your décor in various tones ranging from denim to sky blue. It works well with timber fl ooring and furniture to develop a coastal feel, which is perfect for our lifestyle. We think this outdoor room is great inspiration for the renovator. The tones of green, bamboo and blue work together perfectly.

COASTAL REFLECTION

Patterned cushions should be teamed

with plain and textured pillows. The different elements will work together nicely on couches or beds. This pretty cushion is

from Go Arty.
