Given free rein to work our magic in these two apartments that make up a duplex, we created a great win for this happy homeowner.
The kitchens were as tired as they were yellow, which called for a complete overhaul.
We transformed them with fresh white cabinetry, a functional breakfast bar, and warm timber benchtops to create a brighter, more inviting space.
Modern stainless-steel appliances, improved lighting, and a smarter layout made the kitchens both stylish and practical.
The old bathroom was cramped and outdated, with the bath, shower, and sink squeezed into one small space while the toilet sat separately. It felt closed in and lacked functionality.
We transformed it into a bright, open-plan bathroom with everything in one room. A freestanding bath, walk-in shower with frameless glass, and a custom timber vanity created a modern, spa-like feel. Fresh finishes, new flooring, and added storage completely changed the space into a stylish and practical bathroom.
We enjoyed creating a timeless design that added real value and instantly appealed to buyers.
The result???
$180,000 extra in the homeowners pocket!
