We have ramped up our production in our factory for mattresses prior to Christmas. We have got heaps of brand new mattresses that we will clear with the suites.

COVER STORY //

Renovation revolution Australia is a house proud nation. It’s estimated that 8.4 million of the country’s 13.6 million homeowners undertook a renovation project in the past year. It’s a figure that has jumped 57 per cent since 2013. Now, the Housing Industry Australia has predicted the building industry is set to see an increase in renovation activity. We take a look at the renovation industry and what we can expect in the coming 12 to 24 months.

FUTURE-PROOFING This relatively new term is being applied to all home design and renovation projects, and given how fast our society is moving, it’s understandable why.

When creating a home it’s important not to limit yourself to the here and now, but predict future changes and market appeal.

Here are our top four suggestions for future-proofing your home.

1. Smart technology – From Google home to iZone, there are so many new ways to create a smart home. Control your lighting, security and airconditioning all with the tap of a button or via voice control.

2. Eco-friendly – Speak to your architects about incorporating environmentallyfriendly design and construction elements.

3. Energy efficiency – Electricity isn’t going to become less expensive anytime soon.

Invest in solar panels, insulation and consider natural cooling methods and the orientation of your home.

4. Generational – Children are staying at home longer and older family members are moving in. Investigate zone options or the inclusion of a granny or Fonzie flat.

THIRTY YEARS ON As homes built in the late 1980s are approaching the point of needing a bit of extra TLC, Housing Industry Australia senior economist Shane Garrett predicts the building industry will see an increase in renovation activity.

In October, the HIA released its latest edition of the HIA Renovations Roundup Report, which is the most comprehensive review of Australia’s $32 billion home renovations market.

The publication analyses the latest developments in home renovations activity and reveals the results of the exclusive renovations market survey.

“Our analysis shows a strong correlation between the volume of renovations work and the age of the housing stock,” Shane says.

“The more houses between 30 and 35 years of age, the greater the need for renovations and improvements.

“The really good news is that the number of houses in the key renovations age group will increase substantially over the next decade – a result of record volumes of detached house building during the late 1980s.

“Houses belonging to the ‘1980s Club’ will become increasingly ripe for renovations work over the coming years.”

HIA’s updated forecasts for the home renovations market indicate that the activity is set to inch up during 2017 overall (+0.2 per cent) with a further small increase (+0.4 per cent) during 2018.

In 2019, the pace of expansion is predicted to accelerate to 4.9 per cent with a further rise of 2.9 per cent in 2020 bringing the value of Australia’s renovations market to $35.12 billion.

GROWING IN POPULARITY With the birth of reality renovation television shows such as The Block and Selling Houses Australia, more and more homeowners are developing an interest in renovation and home styling.

Interior design queens Alisa and Lysandra Fraser – who collected more than $1 million and found fame from two appearances on The Block – believe that the investment property market has become lucrative for many Australians.

“With growing financial needs in order to supplement our lifestyles, renovating and building is perhaps the most financially rewarding side job for many couples and families,’’ Lysandra says.

“Unlike overseas markets we are still lucky to be enjoying financial stability in Australia, which minimises risks and offers an opportunity to take on these quick turn around projects that can add dollars to our pockets.”

The twins have noticed a strong movement towards European influence in design and say that homes will continue to be a family’s centre of gravity but with a design that moves towards an emphasis on functionality, organisation and entertainment.

“While we are a culture that enjoys food and beverages in a social scene, we are now designing our homes around the need to equally enjoy these activities right at home,’’ Alisa says.

“With today’s economy, and the shifts in employment and entrepreneurship, it means families stick together under the one roof for much longer. While our children are free to spread their wings and leave the nest, for most parents the reality is that they will stay at home much longer than anticipated, some even up until marriage.”

ALISA AND LYSANDRA’S RENOVATION TIPS • Failing to plan is like planning to fail – plan as much as you can well in advance but always keep in mind that the renovation process requires you to stretch your imagination and your flexibility muscle.

Sometimes things go to plan, sometimes they don’t. Either way, optimism will take you a long way in your renovation journey and unexpected surprises that seem like hurdles at the time, can in fact have a positive outcome.

• Create a budget then add a buffer to it because things will almost always cost more than you think. With every purchasing decision it is important to use the principles of hierarchy. For example if you’re renovating your bathroom, spend some time reflecting which items are more valuable to you and your lifestyle,- and where you can afford to cut corners. If you rarely take baths, it’s pointless spending big on a feature bathtub.

Down to earth As the technology stronghold on our homes increases, many homeowners are feeling the need to reconnect with nature. In 2018 we will see a renewed interest in natural and organic materials, raw products and living plants.

Alisa and Lysandra say that the coastal design theme is perfect for Sunshine Coast homes. While the style is based on a natural colour scheme, they suggest using textures to add features, depth and contrast to the design. Use different wood grains and materials for rugs, cushions and décor accents.

KITCHEN //

Quick fix Kitchen renovations can be timely and expensive. In fact, they are one of the most pricey aspects of your renovation project. But, if your budget doesn’t allow for a full makeover, there are other ways to bring new life to the space. Here are five simple ways to update your kitchen.

Cabinets Painting kitchen cupboard doors is easier than you may think. Remove the hardware and handles and give the cabinets a good scrub. Next, sand back the doors and prime before applying your chosen paint.

The best way to apply the paint is with an angled brush and mini foam roller.

Lighting Swap out old lighting with on-trend, fashionable pieces.

Recessed lighting is modern and practical for the kitchen.

Pendants are ideal for adding extra light to the space, and work particularly well above a breakfast or preparation bench.

Tapware Modernise your sink and update your tapware. It can be practical, yet stylish. From brass through to copper, silver and matte black, there are many styles to choose from.

The only FACELIFT you’ll ever need.

Transform your kitchen with replacement doors, drawer fronts, benchtop and splashback.

1

LOW COST - Save heaps. Pay a fraction of the cost of a new kitchen by keeping your existing cabinetry.

2

HUGE RANGE – Choose from a huge range of the lastest door styles and colours, plus handles and benchtops.

3

LOCAL BUSINESS – All doors and cabinets are made in Australia by Australian craftsmen and come with a 10 year warranty.

A time and cost effective way to get a new kitchen with a kitchen facelift!

do Install plenty of storage and cabinet space There is one thing you will regret at the end of a remodelling project, and that’s a lack of storage. Factor in cupboard space and additional cabinets or shelves.

TIP – Install a mirrored wall cabinet. It looks great and is useful in more than one way.

Choose a neutral base Stick with a neutral palette for core objects such as tiling, the vanity and toilet. You can introduce colour and patterns into interchangeable objects such as accessories, linen and artwork.

Relocate the pipework If it’s possible avoid moving the plumbing. It is a large expense and will add significant time to your renovation.

STYLE //

TRENDY TABLES The role of a living room coffee table has changed in recent years.

While they are still adopted for practical reasons, these small tables also play a big part in shaping the style of a room.

We share our top tips for selecting and styling your coffee table.

Small spaces Don’t have a large table? Don’t fear because you can still achieve the perfect style with a smaller space. The key is to keep the styling simple.

Choose objects of varying height.

Centre your styling around an object of height such as a vase or candelabra.

Create visual appeal by adding décor accents that are lower and smaller in scale.

TOP FIVE TOMES My Renovation has put together a list of our favourite coffee table books.

1. Louis Vuitton: The Birth of Modern Luxury by Paul-Gerard Pasols, Pierre Leonforte.

2. Humans of New York by Brandon Stanton.

3. Iconic Australian Houses 70/80/90 - Three Decades of Domestic Architecture by Karen McCartney.

4. Goodbye, Things by Fumio Sasaki.

5. Rick Owens – Furniture by Rick Owens.

Splurge We love this unique coffee table designed by Uniqwa.

Named after the famous Clifton Beach, the table has a coastal feel. It is created from solid teak with a glass top. Priced at $1399 it’s from Cranmore Home.

GET THE LOOK

We like the Shagreen tray from the Darren Palmer collection.

tip Balance – don’t overclutter your table with small knickknacks and décor accents. Choose pieces that have meaning and complement each other.

Select colours that not only work with the coffee table but the overall theme of the room Trays are the perfect addition to any coffee table. Trays hold objects and add another visual element.

FLOORING //

IN-FOCUS: Laminate

Floor choice The flooring experts at Harvey Norman break down the different types of laminate flooring.

Classic – A traditional look of timber flooring, which creates a natural look for your home.

Exotic – Choose an exotic wood finish perfect for living areas.

New style If laminate flooring conjures up thoughts of brown and orange patterns reminiscent of the 1970s, think again. Today, there is a wide variety of colours, styles and textures available. Less expensive than timber or bamboo flooring, laminate not only looks great but is cost effective.

Vanity Combo Specials

Hand-scraped – A unique finish that creates the look of a sophisticated, real-timber floor.

Choosing the right paint for a rendered home

P

aint on a rendered home is not just there to look good. It protects both the coating system and your home.

Render and paint systems consist of several layers that work together.

The right products, adequate surface preparation, sufficient adhesion and correct application all play a part in ensuring the system works effectively.

Most render systems need a protective film to shield the system from the elements. That protective film is paint, or ideally, membrane paint.

A membrane is a pliable structure that forms a barrier or lining. Thus, the term membrane is used to describe a type of exterior paint that offers greater thickness, protection and elasticity compared with standard paints.

Choosing the right exterior paint for overcoating render is important for long-term protection and reducing maintenance.

Here is some useful advice from the experts at Rockcote about what to

look for when it comes to choosing paint for render.

THICKNESS Thickness equals protection. In a two-coat system, standard exterior paint is typically around 50 microns thick, while a quality membrane such as Rockcote Armour can be more than 170 microns thick. To put this into context, the thickness of a fine human hair is about 30 microns.

To compare products, refer to dry film thickness on the technical data sheet, available on the manufacturer’s website.

CRACK-BRIDGING ABILITY Fine surface cracks will cause premature aging of the paint system and can grow into major cracks.

Look for paint with built-in elasticity to accommodate minor cracking, known as crack-bridging ability. A good quality membrane has up to seven times more crack-bridging ability than a standard paint.

DON’T MOVE...

WEATHER RESISTANCE Most render systems rely on the paint layer to provide water repellency and weather resistance. If the integrity of the paint is compromised, the system can fail, leading to a range of issues such as mould, cracking, delamination and, in severe cases, water ingress into the home.

Look for paints with thickness, crack-bridging ability and water repellency that are designed for render.

LOW MAINTENANCE Most manufacturers recommend that exterior render systems are regularly inspected by the homeowner and washed down with a hose annually.

As a guide, a home coated in standard paint will require repainting in five to seven years; a membrane should last 10 to 12 years. Factors affecting this timeframe include maintenance routine, quality of application, colour and location (dark colours and coastal properties may

require repainting more frequently).

DIRT AND MOULD RESISTANCE Cracking, damp areas and dirt build up can lead to the growth of mould. As well as causing unsightly dark stains, mould can affect the performance of the paint. Products with built-in mould and mildew resistance help to reduce the risk of mould growth.

Using a membrane paint over render will provide a longer lasting, thick coating with greater ability to resist minor cracking compared with a standard exterior paint.

Finally, don’t be concerned about repainting changing the appearance of your texture coating. A fresh coat of membrane paint or paint over existing sponged render or texture will not change the textured appearance of the surface.

For more information about repainting existing render, or to download a free guide about repainting render, visit rockcote.com.au/sunshine-coast.

TIPS // DID YOU KNOW? The Australian Government Your Home website offers the following advice for achieving an improved residential streetscape.

Under the night sky Create a unique illusion in your garden by painting hanging pots in glow-in-the-dark paint.

It will brighten your backyard.

• Understand the character of your local area and design your home or renovation accordingly. Your home should look like it belongs in the neighbourhood. Use characteristic attributes (e.g. building height, street setback, form, materials and construction details) to compose your innovative design solutions.

• Plant trees to enhance the quality of the street. Good tree cover increases property values and provides improved shade, habitat, windbreaks, air quality and appearance.

• Avoid high walls and hedges on the front boundary as they isolate the home from the neighbourhood.

They create a perception of isolation and impede observation of the street.

Making profit For investors who are renovating to sell, it’s important not to overlook the landscaping of the property. Spend time and a portion of your budget on updating the gardens. It brings street appeal and modernises the home.
