Before The Renovation​

The kitchen exhibited wear, including colour fading panels and water damage. Outdated appliances and flooring further motivated the client to embark on a transformative renovation journey. 

Replacement of all kitchen appliances is necessary, along with the change of carpet to tiled flooring in the kitchen, dining, and living spaces.

The clients requested to have a glass splashback for ease of cleaning and maintenance.  At the same time, they hoped to optimise space for both storage and display purposes.

A proper duct pipe to vent out cooking grease and odours from the kitchen was to be fixed to replace the previous rangehood that was operated with internal circulation.

Their vision involved a premium, contemporary kitchen with an open layout and refreshed look.

 

After The Renovation

Overall look & feel

Walking into the remodeled kitchen feels like entering a lavish sanctuary. The seamless integration of rich hues and high-end materials evokes an extravagant ambiance. At the center of it all, the expansive breakfast bar, embellished with a striking wavy designed light fixture, commands attention.

Other than numerous drawers and a pull-out spice rack, custom made cabinet space for oven and microwave beside the cooking stove have been created for easy access.

The handless design of the cabinets gave the kitchen a clean neat look. LED light strip across the wall hung cabinet and titanium profile handle contrast with white glossy panel contribute to the kitchen’s modernity.

Home Renovation at The Mews

Project Overview

Client purchased this well-constructed house with the intention of residing in the renovated property for at least another 20 years. Thus, the materials chosen are of premium quality with a lasting and luxurious finish.

Avis wanted to remove the wallpaper and repaint the entire house. At the same time, she would like to replace all existing lights with energy-efficient LED ceiling lights.

She intended to designate several rooms for use as home office. Thus, we needed to consider building office desks and cabinets to maximise functional storage space.

Jimmy and the team from ideal renovations have done a fantastic job for our kitchen, flooring, and bathroom renovations. Communication throughout the entirety of the project was excellent with any questions we had being promptly answered and any changes we proposed being accommodated with a modest budget.

Materials

The custom-made cabinets feature a sleek high gloss acrylic white finish, equipped with Hafele soft close door hinges and Alto soft close drawer runners. Consistency is maintained throughout the house with Brushed Nickel-colored handles adorning all cabinets, matching the door handles. On top of that, the custom-made office desk is crafted from solid American Oak timber, with custom desk legs sourced from Adam Sinclair Furniture’s “Andy” range, finished with a metallic powder coating.

Cabinets, Shelves, Display areas

One of the rooms at the ground floor that has been transformed into a functional home office, has a storage unit constructed against one of the side of wall for organising documents and providing a relaxing sitting area. A spacious timber desk measuring 2250mmX1000mm offers ample workspace for tasks and setting up of digital devices.

In one of the upstairs bedrooms transformed into a home office, a custom-made timber desk sized at 1400mmX800mm has been installed. For efficient utilisation of space, storage units have been incorporated into the roof angle area, with drawers replacing cabinets for easy accessibility.

The rumpus room served as the third office space. One side of the wall is lined with floor-to-ceiling cabinets/pantries, providing ample storage space for documents and files. Additionally, a new desk and storage cabinet complete the setup.

Apart from the office areas, various other functional spaces have been created. These include laundry wall-hung units, shoe cabinets in the garage, and display shelves and cabinets in the bedroom.

IMG 20230723 211705
IMG 20230723 211654
Overall Outcome

The house has high ceilings, making it difficult to remove all the wallpaper. After stripping off the wallpaper, we performed full wall skimming followed by one undercoat and two topcoats of paint.

Mobile scaffolding was necessary for this job. Due to the unpredictable winter weather, we had to keep the schedule tight to allow for maximum drying time for the plaster and paint. As all the furniture was custom-made, we have to maintain efficient communication with the client regarding precise measurements, material and colour selection, to ensure everything was right from the beginning.

The task was quite challenging, but we managed to complete it on schedule and the client was really satisfied with the outcome.

Addressing the issue of inadequate ventilation, we recommended the installation of a robust ventilation system to effectively remove excess moisture from the wet areas, promoting a cleaner and healthier environment.

Simon had a clear vision for a luxurious ensuite with black fittings and tiles, while maintaining the existing layout but replacing the drop-in bath with a walk-in shower. Given the bungalow-style house with Rimu interior walls, Simon opted for a barn door to preserve the home’s unique character.

The dated drop-in bath and existing layout were identified as areas requiring attention. Simon aimed to replace the bath with a walk-in shower for both aesthetic and practical reasons. His choice of black color fittings and tiles reflected a desire for a sophisticated and contemporary look.

Being in a bungalow-style house with Rimu interior walls, the project retained the house’s unique character. Simon opted for a barn door instead of a sliding door, blending modern upgrades with the existing style.

The atmosphere is warm, with rich, contrasting tones that visually captivate. Meticulously curated details evoke opulence, from the glossy French-themed tiles to the muted Rimu interior walls.

The layout enhances spaciousness, creating an open and inviting environment. The frameless walk-in shower with coated tempered glass adds to the sense of airiness, while the barn door integrates modern upgrades with the bungalow-style home. Bold black fittings and tiles provide a striking contrast, achieving a carefully balanced mix of contemporary design and timeless charm.

The renovated ensuite is a sanctuary of indulgence, meeting modern standards while reflecting the unique personality of the homeowner.

The bathroom was not very run down or water damaged but in need of a makeover for modernity. Jimmy wanted to make it more modern without changing the structure. 

He decided to do this because he likes the look of modern bathrooms, especially ones with a freestanding bath and more color.

He wanted to bring the place alive with a contemporary touch and modern fittings, fixtures and storage. He also wanted to have good ventilation and lighting while keeping the place practical and easy to maintain. 

After The Renovation

Overall look & feel

Upon entering the renovated main bathroom, one is enveloped in an atmosphere of modern luxury. The play of contrasting tones, from the sleek black fittings to the soft grey hues of Tivoli Pearl Matt tiles, creates a visually striking and harmonious space. 

The oval-shaped freestanding bath stands as a focal point, invoking a sense of relaxation and adding a touch of whimsy. The floor-to-ceiling tiles amplify the feeling of spaciousness, completing a contemporary sanctuary that seamlessly blends style and functionality.
