read with interest that home renovations are on the rise in Australia. According to the Housing Industry Association’s Renovations Roundup research, low interest rates have bolstered renovations by 1.2 per cent. It’s predicted to increase a further 4.5 per cent this year with a slight 0.4 per cent increase for 2016.

I can’t say that these figures surprise me. My husband and I purchased our home two years ago and considering it is only five years old, it isn’t exactly in need of a renovation.

Yet, we still have the desire to constantly update and improve our place. We continually discuss our plans and ideas – constructing a pool, landscaping the garden, restyling the main bedroom, installing a double shower, creating a reading room.

The list is lengthy and it’s exciting to create and update the family home together.

Author Jane Austen once said: “There is nothing like staying home at home for real comfort’’ and it is a phrase that has stuck in my mind.

A home is a place where memories are made and shaping your home into your special place is a wonderful thing.

Happy renovating!

Spring beauty

T

here is no better time than spring to grab the gardening gloves and dive into landscaping.

These days, it isn’t so much about gardens full of colourful blooms but the entire concept.

When tackling the yard, treat it the same as you would any renovation project and take the time to plan each element.

The first step is to identify your space and map out your project.

Do you want to include an alfresco dining area, an outdoor kitchen, fire pit, pizza oven, tranquil garden, pool? The choices are endless.

Once you have your key points the next step is to choose your

theme.

Consider colours and style because getting the correct plant palette is key in any garden design project.

Consult with a landscape architect, or your local nursery expert, about your options.

If your goal is to create a modern garden you will want to limit your range of plants and stick with shades of green. You can also add one or two pastel colours.

Tropical gardens are another popular option in coastal living. To achieve this look you will want to plant palms and pandanus trees.

Always consider the style of your home when landscaping as the two should go hand-in-hand. Tropical

INSPIRATION Hanging Out A potted wall is easy to make and creates a great talking point. They work well if you have a small alfresco area that needs brightening up. You can buy vertical gardening kits or buy some pots and secure them to the wall with concrete screws. Stimulate your sense of smell and fill the pots with herbs and plants such as basil, rosemary and lilac.

Otherwise, simple flowers like marigolds and petunias will look beautiful.

A hanging lounge like this one from FFrench designers Daniel Pouzet and Fred Frety will be the ma masterpiece of your garden. Go to cu cultdesign.com.au or domo.com.au to source a similar product.

TIP

gardens work well with modern homes whereas cottage or beach houses are given a boost from lots of colourful flower beds.

Incorporating outdoor living, particularly in Queensland, is also an integral part of any home landscaping project.

Moving from interior to exterior should be seamless and you can achieve this look through the use of floor to ceiling glass and bi-fold doors.

If you have the space, think outside the square and construct a courtyard that can be viewed from various rooms in your house.

Thinking about installing a pool?

Be sure to check out our pool feature starting on page 21.

Edible landscapes There’s nothing tastier than fresh food and more people are reverting back to basics when it comes to gardening. Edible gardens can be more than lettuce and tomato vines. Have some fun and grow your favourite herbs like basil, rosemary and chives. Or, try your hand at fruit trees to bring variety into the plot.

Secret garden Today’s landscaping projects are so much more than a flower garden. They are about entertainment, relaxation and style.

Feature outdoor decorative elements like hanging lights, candles, cushions and art.

We also love sections - introduce sitting areas into your garden such as a private reading corner, a garden-dining area complete with a fire pit or a tranquil rest space.

BEDROOM // Neutral tones of white, cream, ivory, taupe and beige work well in bedrooms as it aids in relaxation.

Throw in a floral pattern or slight texture and you’ve got a stylish wall.

TRADITIONAL VS TRENDY

Goodbye carpet Who says that you have to stick to traditional design when it comes to decorating the bedroom? We love this stylish look where time-honoured carpet has given way to a beautiful, hardwood polished floor. The stylists have also moved away from traditional bedside tables and opted for a classic white and wooden chair. Add a contemporary lamp and vase and you’ve got a great, yet simple, look.

Wallpaper was earmarked to be one of 2015’s biggest design trends and the experts weren’t wrong. It has made its mark not only in bedrooms but in all aspects of home renovation and design.

When choosing wallpaper you first must decide on a colour palette and then the style. Do you like vinyl-coated, texture, foil or flocked papers?

Traditionally, bedroom walls are kept simple and painted in pastel colours but don’t shy away from adding colour if it suits your personality.

DON’T MOVE...

Looking for something different? We love this wallpaper design. It introduces beauty and colour into the bedroom but has a soft, floaty feel to it.

Spare space?

Do you have a spacious bedroom? Consider incorporating a study space or vanity corner.

Study nooks are less formal than a home office, yet they still offer many of the same conveniences. Opt for a comfortable armchair and soft lighting to make the nook visually appealing and comfortable too.

Personalise the area by displaying treasured items such as a framed photograph or cherished books.

A splash of art Looking for a simple way to bring new life to your bathroom? Add some wall art to bring a splash of colour. Seek inspiration from this gorgeous print available from Cranmore Home and head to your local store to find something similar. We also love the idea of placing a dark frame against a pastel wall. Painting a wall will take no time at all yet will update your bathroom.

Spring style One of the best things about the bathroom is that, unlike other rooms in the home, it will maintain its style for some time. But, if you are in need of a change, there is no need to go the whole hog and redesign from scratch. Instead, take inspiration from this season’s trends and make a few small changes that can have maximum impact. Introduce spring colours such as green, lilac, blush, yellow and orange in simple ways. If you have the space, add a piece of furniture such as a coloured, wooden stool or a mirror. Another great addition to any bathroom is a copper or wire basket to display towels. It’s amazing how fresh towels can lift a bathroom’s look.

Potted colour Plants thrive in a bathroom thanks to the humid conditions and what better time to bring some greenery inside than during spring?

Orchids, bamboo and spider plants work well but don’t restrict yourself to the potted variety. A floral arrangement in a vase looks great too especially if you highlight moss green, lemon and pastel pink colours.

SMOOTH FINISH Painting a room doesn’t have to be a chore. Try these easy ideas to simplify the job ahead…

1. The biggest job when it comes to painting is the prep work. Make sure the wall is washed and clean. Use only a mild detergent and wipe over with warm water after to remove any soap residue.

2. Prime the walls. Not only will it give you a smooth, shiny finish but it will save you from having to do maintenance painting down the track.

3. Everyone knows to use tape when it

comes to painting, but what you might not know is how important it is to remove the tape before the paint dries. This will prevent any of the paint from flaking off.

4. Once you’ve used a brush to outline the wall, use a roller to fill in the area using the W technique. Start in the corner of a wall and roll on a three-by-three W pattern. Fill it in without lifting the roller.

DIY //

I Build your own retaining wall

f you’ve got a sloping piece of land then a retaining wall is the ideal way to create a level area.

In basic terms, a retaining wall is a structure that holds soil to create a flat piece of land.

It is the perfect way to create entertaining areas, garden beds or even some flat space for the kids’ trampoline.

The best part is they are an attractive addition to any front or back yard. There are a variety of materials you can use to build the structure. Choose from timber, brick or even large rocks. For the purpose of our DIY project, we have opted for interlocking bricks.

Not only do they look great but they are practical.

STEP 1: Measure out the area and calculate how many blocks you will

need to purchase.

STEP 2: Mark the place you are going to construct the wall by running string between two stakes.

This will be a good guide for you as you build the structure. Dig a trench in the earth that is about 18cm deep and 35cm wide.

STEP 3: Fill the trench with sand and compact it using a shovel.

Make sure it is level.

Lay the first row of blocks. It’s important that this first row is level as it will set the shape for the entire wall. You can check this by using a spirit level.

STEP 4: Drainage is important so make sure to use drainage product, like gravel, about 15 to 20cm behind the first row of blocks. Fill the openings in the top of the

blocks and between each one.

STEP 5: You may need to cut a partial block to complete the first row. If not, you will need to cut one to start the second row. Use a masonry saw to cut the blocks.

STEP 6: When you have finished the first two rows, add drainage. To do this, lay slotted pipe on the gravel behind the blocks. The key is to allow ground water to escape to a clear area.

STEP 7: Repeat laying the blocks and drainage. Take time to compact backfill for each block height and apply an adhesive, such as Selleys Liquid Nails Landscape, to the final row of blocks. You can add topper stones for a clean look.

STEP 8: Backfill behind the wall with gravel and soil taking care to

tamper down each layer. Finish with a layer of topsoil.

Turn drab concrete into a decorative, easy to clean and attractive finished floor.

Match your colour scheme from our wide range of colours.

TIP Before building a retaining wall it may be worthwhile checking the building requirements with Sunshine Coast Council. Sunshine Coast Council Building approval is required for walls over 1m from the adjacent natural ground level, as well as for walls under pressure from an adjacent surcharge loading (such as driveway or building loads adjacent to the wall), or where the wall is located within 1.5m of a building or another retaining wall.

TIPS // Stress less Renovating an entire house is a huge task. Don’t overwhelm yourself by tackling too much at once. Divide each job into small tasks. List each room and then the jobs within each of those. Don’t forget to cross off things as you go – it will reassure you that the project is progressing.

Handy help The DIY Handyman Toolbox: METRIC app is a useful, easy to use tool to help you quickly work out handyman calculations in square or cubic metres. It’s great when calculating products such as timber, carpet, paint, wallpaper or concrete. The app has the function to convert between metric and imperial measurements. There is also an optional area to include the unit price of the material and the app will calculate the cost and required amount. It’s sure to save some time when you are working on your renovation. The app costs $2.49 and is available on IOS.

SUPA CHEAP CARPETS & INTERIORS

Water works One of the most expensive things to change in any bathroom is plumbing. So better to avoid moving it if you can. And remember, try to keep pipe work accessible – you may need to do repairs in the future.

Try before buy When furnishing or painting your renovated home, don’t buy anything under the fluorescent lights of a store. Everything from fabric sofas to paint samples can look different under the lights. Ask for fabric or paint swatches to take home before making a decision.

There is nothing worse than buying a piece of furniture that doesn’t meet expectations once it’s delivered to your home.

Designer tiles Replacing tiles can be a large and costly job. Why not consider painting the existing tiles. It’s easier than it sounds. Clean and rinse the tiles thoroughly before masking up and applying a tile and laminate primer. Once the tiles are dry, paint with your desired colour. Don’t forget to apply a second coat of paint. To finish the renovation project use a grout pen to draw in the grout lines.

LOOKING FOR FLOOR & WALL COVERINGS? Refresh your home with a modern look at a competitive price Research right Don’t rush into hiring a builder. Do your research and get multiple quotes before hiring contractors.

If you do have a builder managing your renovation then leave it in their capable hands to source other tradesmen such as electricians and plumbers. For more information and help in finding a builder, visit qbcc.qld.gov.au/ building-orrenovating/ starting-yourproject.

POOL FEATURE //

TIP Sun lounges are great but they have also been around for a long time. Move away from the traditional and buy a large daybed instead. The outdoor varieties are weather and water-proof. Decorate it with some outdoor cushions and you’ve got a great place to relax.

Beyond the pool

A

pool is a welcome addition to any home renovation. Not only does a pool bring hours of fun, it also adds value to your property. There is a lot of planning that goes into installing a pool – choosing the right site, safety compliancy, salt or chlorine and pebblecrete, tile or fibreglass design. Sometimes you can get so caught up in the pool itself that it’s easy to forget to spend time creating a perfect poolside paradise. Don’t throw together any outdoor furniture; create a luxurious outdoor lounge space. Consider different

furniture materials – aluminium (rust-proof), resin (great in the weather), kwila timber (resistant to cracks and splits), teak (it’s durable) or the beauty of wicker. Once you have the basics sorted introduce some colour and style. Add cushions, a coffee table, potted plants and décor such as candles, vases or candelabra.

And, don’t limit yourself because the options are endless. Do you have a love of surfing? Why not find a vintage board and incorporate it into the design.

Love art? Source an outdoor-friendly piece.

The big debate Which kind of pool is right for you? When it comes to pools the saltwater versus chlorine debate is not new. Saltwater pools use electrolysis to break down the salt to create chlorine whereas chlorine tablets are used to filter and clean a chlorine pool. Experts say that the saltwater variety can cost less and have less maintenance. It can also be gentler on the skin and eyes. However, a chlorine pool can be better and faster at reducing bacteria. Have a chat to your local pool supplier to find out which option is best for you.

Pools to suit every backyard!

TIP When planning to install your pool, consider the natural environment and check the position of sun and shade as it will have a big impact on pool temperature.

SAFETY FIRST

Sun smart Umbrellas are an easy way to bring shade into your pool area. Opt for a neutral tone if you are working colour into the area through cushions and artwork. Or, if your furnishings are natural colours like cream and wood, buy a bright umbrella to give the area a tropical feel.

Pool fences save lives and in Australia and they are mandatory. Under Queensland law you will need a building approval to construct a pool and the fence will need to be approved by a building certifier. Your pool also needs to be placed on a register. Failing to register your pool can result in an on the spot fine of $235.60 or a maximum penalty of up to $2356 if a complaint is made to your local government or the Queensland Building and Construction Commission.

Here are some other great ways to improve safety around the pool: • Install a pool alarm – it will alert you when someone has entered the pool area • Safety cover – not only does a cover help keep your pool clean, it can stop people from falling into the water • Gates should be self-closing and self-latching • The latch on the gate should be located on the top and not be accessible by small children.

For more on pool safety laws visit sunshinecoast.qld.gov. au/sitePage.cfm?code=swimming-pools.

Non-slip surface Australian standards recommend a slip resistance surface should be used around a pool area. Non-slip tiles not only look great but can prevent unwanted accidents from a slippery surface. When choosing tiles select a style that has a long-life guarantee and are easy to clean.

TIP Short on space?

Pools don’t have to be installed in the backyard.

Transform your front yard by incorporating a pool and tropical landscaping.

Decked out The Queensland sun can be harsh on an outdoor deck but if you spend a little time maintaining the area there is no reason it can’t look great for years to come. Regularly clean the deck and remove any stains or leaf rot from between the boards. As a pool deck will be used regularly you will need to stain and seal it once or twice a year. Consult with your local paint supplier to choose the right products. It should have UV protection and be applied with a paint roller or brush. Be sure to check the weather before undergoing deck maintenance as you will need the deck to dry thoroughly before use.

Take the plunge today... we will build a pool to suit your lifestyle and budget

Night and day Lighting is an important element in any pool design. Ensure there is plenty of lighting not only within and around the pool, but in nearby entertainment areas. It will create a terrific atmosphere for outdoor entertaining and allow you to use your pool at night. LED lights are a popular choice but fibre-optic is another great option. Consult with a lighting expert before making your decision.

Our service and quality speak for themselves and it’s something we pride ourselves on with 100’s of concrete swimming pools constructed from Brisbane to Noosa.

One stop shop When choosing a pool company check they have a range of options and styles available. It’s also great if they have experience in pool landscaping and can offer advice in fencing, flooring, design, spas, rock walls, fountains and lighting.

Looking for an easy way to refresh your home? Introduce an ever-changing display. Opt for a colour you love and find mismatched pieces to create an eye-catching display. Think of vases, bowls and accent pieces you can find in your local design stores and even opshops. In a month, you can swap the display for a new colour and continue rotating pieces through the year. Not only does it look great, it will create a great talking point.

What is the first thing people see when they enter your home?

When renovating, it’s easy to overlook a home’s foyer. But, creating a welcoming entry point to your home is easy. Use mirrors, a vintage desk or stools.

An interesting light fixture like this one from iEnergy is great.
