Renovations are an excellent way to rejuvenate your living areas while adding significant value to your property. 

Best of all, renovations don’t have to cost the earth. While large-scale remodelling projects typically require some substantial investment, there are many easy home renovations that can transform the look and feel of your home without blowing the budget. 

Looking for some inspiration? We’ve rounded up five easy home renovation ideas to help you get started. 

1. Create a home office
   As more and more companies embrace remote working, having a functional home office has never been more important. The most cost-effective way to create a home office is to convert an under-utilised part of the house – such as a spare room, wardrobe or space under the stairs – into a practical workspace.A home office can be as simple or as extravagant as you like. For those on a budget, focus on the essentials: good lighting, extra power outlets, sufficient storage and, depending on the nature of your work, some soundproofing. A purpose-built workspace will allow you to be more comfortable and productive than trying to work from the couch or dining table.

2. Rejuvenate your rooms with a lick of paint
   A new paint job offers the best bang for buck as far as cheap easy home renovations go. Neutral colours such as beiges, greys and various shades of white are usually a safe choice. Not only do these understated tones fit in aesthetically with most furnishings, but they also appeal to a wide range of people – perfect if you plan to put the house on the market further down the track.While you may be tempted to do the painting yourself to keep costs down, for best results we highly recommend enlisting the services of professional house painters.

3. Convert an underused space into a bedroom
   Searching for a cost-effective way to accommodate a growing family? For larger properties that are blessed with a lot of floor space, it’s often possible to convert an underused space into an additional bedroom. For example, you could consider partitioning off part of a spacious living room, or converting a secondary dining area into a bedroom.Talk to our expert home renovations team for more information on how we can help you keep costs down during your bedroom renovation project.

4. Give the kitchen a makeover
   Renovating the kitchen can be an expensive endeavour, but the good news is there are always lots of ways to breathe new life into the space without committing to a full remodel. For instance, carrying out minor work such as painting the walls, changing cupboard doors and handles and investing in a bold new backsplash can dramatically improve your kitchen without gutting the entire space.If you can avoid making modifications to the wiring and plumbing, a kitchen spruce up can be one of the most easy renovations to increase home value.

5. Install a skylight
   Installing a skylight is one of those easy home renovation projects that can do wonders for bringing more natural light into your home. A well-positioned skylight can help make small rooms feel more spacious and illuminate dark spaces such as windowless hallways and bathrooms that would otherwise not receive any sunlight.
