As our lifestyles change, so too do our needs surrounding home layouts. The kitchen, in particular, is an essential space to get right. It’s the place where we socialise, it experiences a large percentage of the home’s foot traffic and it’s often the place where busy parents monitor their children from. At Refresh, we understand that no two households are the same. That’s why we provide a bespoke design and build process - to help you achieve a kitchen design that is the perfect fit for you.

How much will my project cost?

Refresh will create a design to suit your budget - whether this means you are seeking a cost-effective kitchen update or a luxurious family kitchen. For those working within a limited budget, staying within the original layout of your existing kitchen and carefully considering what areas need improving will be the best way to save on costs. If you’re interested in a luxurious kitchen design (e.g. high-end materials and appliances, custom cabinetry and structural changes to your layout), allow more room in your budget. Refresh’s kitchen renovations typically fall within a range of $20,000 - $80,000. However, for a cost-estimate accurate to your specific kitchen requirements, please consult your local renovation specialist.

Costs are approximate estimates only and are subject to change.

Will Refresh take care of any council applications?

If you will only be making minor changes to your kitchen, consent likely won’t be required. Larger projects, such as those requiring demolition work or structural adjustments, will likely require a building permit. Your renovation specialist will be able to advise you on the council permissions and costs that will be included within your project and will take care of the application process for you. 

What are some important considerations when planning a kitchen renovation?

One of the most essential considerations as you plan your new kitchen is what it will be used for now and in the future. If you are planning on living in the space for only a few years, think about what will add value to the kitchen when you sell - open-plan layouts, neutral colour palettes and plenty of natural light is likely to increase buyer interest. Alternatively, if you plan on living in the space long-term, think about both functionality and future-proofing. In this case, choosing a style that you are likely to enjoy for years to come should be prioritised over following current trends.
