Renovating on a Budget

A shower fit out in 'Standard Range' tiles
For many people the idea of renovating seems daunting, complex and financially unattainable. However, with our current economic climate, we are seeing people become more and more adventurous as they try to captialise on what they already have, rather than upgrade to a newly built home. 

It's fair to say that renovating can be costly, however it doesn’t have to cost tens of thousands of dollars and it doesn't need to look cheap and nasty. Granted you probably won’t get much in the way of polished porcelain or rectified tiles but it is still possible to achieve a really nice result without spending too much. 

We have a large range of tiles that come in under the $30.00m2 mark. We tend not to deal with anything ultra cheap, because in this instance the price certainly reflects the quality of the tile and just ends up causing our clients more headaches and expense in the long run. It's possible using our ‘standard range’ to tile an average sized bathroom for under $500 or retile your kitchen splashback for $100.

It just means cutting back a bit and not having floor to ceiling tiles or anything overly luxurious, and giving it a stab yourself. There are also plenty of plumbing discount centres (both online and in the flesh) and reasonably priced cabinet makers or, alternately, a can of acrylic paint can make old tired cupboards look new again. 

Setting aside a hundred or so dollars for mosaics is also a worthwhile investment and gives the room a real lift.
