Make Your Kitchen Work
A good kitchen should feel like it was made just for you. That’s why today’s renovations focus on more than surface upgrades — they start with understanding how the space is used.
Whether you need more storage, better lighting, or an open-plan design that lets you stay connected while cooking, every element should serve a purpose. Kitchen renovations often include replacing old cabinetry, reworking layouts for better flow, updating benchtops, splashbacks, and flooring, and installing energy-efficient appliances.
Depending on the home’s age and condition, plumbing and electrical upgrades may also be required to meet modern standards. The right renovation will not only improve daily living—it’ll add long-term value to your home.
FAQ
Everything You Need To Know
What adds the most value in a kitchen renovation?
Key upgrades that add value include stone or engineered stone benchtops, soft-close drawers, modern cabinetry, energy-efficient appliances, and updated lighting. Layout changes that improve usability, like creating more prep space or adding an island, also increase appeal to future buyers. Buyers often look for ample storage, a functional layout, good lighting, and a neutral colour scheme that’s easy to personalise. Smart upgrades to plumbing and electrical systems behind the scenes also improve long-term value.
How long does a kitchen renovation take?
Most kitchen renovations take 3 to 6 weeks, depending on the size and complexity of the project. This includes demolition, plumbing and electrical rough-in, cabinetry installation, benchtops, splashbacks, and appliance fitting. Custom components, especially benchtops or cabinetry, may add extra time due to manufacturing and delivery schedules. Planning and ordering materials in advance can help avoid delays. It’s also common to experience some downtime between trades, especially if inspections or drying times are required.
Do I need a licensed builder for a kitchen renovation?
Yes, especially if the renovation involves structural changes, plumbing or electrical work, or if you’re working under council regulations. In NSW, any building work over $5,000 must be done by a licensed contractor. Licensed builders ensure work complies with the Building Code of Australia and can provide the necessary warranties and insurances. Unlicensed work not only risks safety and quality, but it can also void insurance and cause problems during resale. Always confirm licensing before starting any renovation.
