Perth Hills Home Renovation: How to Blend Old Charm With Modern Comfort.
The Perth Hills is full of beautiful older homes with real character—but turning one into a space that works for modern living takes more than a fresh coat of paint. Here’s how I help homeowners keep the charm while improving comfort, layout, and everyday function.

1. Honour the Home’s History
Whether it’s timber floors, ceiling roses, or an original fireplace—working with these features can bring warmth and soul to your renovation. I always look for ways to highlight what’s already there.
2. Update What Matters Most
Kitchens, bathrooms, and poorly planned living areas are often where older homes fall short. These are the spaces I focus on modernising to improve how a home feels day-to-day without losing its essence.

3. Smart Layout Tweaks
Sometimes it’s not about adding more space—it’s about using the space better. A clever tweak to your floor plan can transform how your home functions.
4. Local Knowledge Makes a Difference
As a Perth Hills renovation designer, I understand the local style, council requirements, and even the quirks of building in this unique area. That makes a real difference when planning and executing a project.

5. Respecting Budget and Building Constraints
Not every beautiful idea makes sense for your home or your budget. I’ll help you make design choices that have impact without going overboard. It’s about smart, respectful updates.
6. Creating Something That Lasts
Good renovation design doesn’t chase trends. My goal is to create timeless spaces that will still feel right ten + years from now.
