The season for an interiors overhaul

YOUR HOME IS YOUR HAVEN IN THE WINTER MONTHS SO WHY NOT MAKE SOME UPDATES BEFORE THE COOL WEATHER HITS

-

AS the cold weather settles in, more time is spent at home indoors.

It’s often the time that inspiratio­n to make your abode more comfortabl­e, stylish and practical strikes.

From small changes to complete makeovers, here are a few updates you might want to make around the home this winter.

FRESH COAT

A fresh coat of paint can work wonders for any space.

Whether it is a shade of white to brighten up an area or an on-trend hue to create a feature, a coat of paint can dramatical­ly change the feel of a room.

Similarly, if you are considerin­g selling your home, a coat of paint is a great way to start getting it ready to hit the market. And in terms of the transforma­tion that can be achieved, it’s relatively inexpensiv­e.

Seaview Painting Services is one local business that could have your home looking like new in no time.

BATHROOM BLITZ

If it’s a bathroom you’re looking to make over, the team at South West Glazing can help with sourcing and installing new splashback­s, shower screens and mirrors to help bring your space into the modern day.

The first step is to decide what is important to you in a bathroom – do you like a soak in a tub at the end of the day? Do you want two basins or would the additional benchspace be better? Maximise the space you will use most.

KITCHEN UPDATE

The kitchen is the heart of the home and in turn one of the most well used, so things do need updating or replacing from time to time.

If yours needs a major overhaul, consider layout and functional­ity first and foremost when redesignin­g the space.

When in doubt, seek the advice of experts like Meemans Kitchens to help.

CUSTOM CABINETRY

Dreaming of a wardrobe that perfectly displays all your favourite possession­s, more storage for the kids or a fancy TV cabinet?

ICM Geelong has the contacts to service all your cabinetry needs.

It’s these kind of additions that make your house feel like a home.

CURTAIN CALL

With more cold weather on the way it is important to have the right window furnishing­s to keep the warmth from heaters inside the home.

Australian Window Fashions deal in curtains, drapes and shutter blinds.

Not only are they a practical product but they can also enhance the intimacy of a space and make a stylish statement.

FRESH FLOORS

If big, whole-house impact is what you’re going for, freshly sanded and stained floorboard­s can make a tired home feel brand new.

If you need flooring installed or repaired try the team at SAND IT Floor Sanding & Polishing and prepare to wow your guests in winter.
