Kitchen and Bathroom Renovation Advice for Perth Hills Homeowners.

If you’re planning a kitchen or bathroom renovation in the Perth Hills, you're not alone—it’s often the first step in refreshing a home. But it can also be where budgets blow out and regret creeps in. Here’s what I’ve learned from helping local families create functional, beautiful spaces that really work for them.

1. Focus on How You Use the Space
Function first, always. A kitchen should make your daily life easier—not just look good on Instagram. Bathrooms should be practical, easy to clean, and relaxing.

2. Design Before You Build
Don’t start shopping for tiles or calling trades before the design is locked in. As a kitchen and bathroom designer, I guide clients through layout options, material selections, and storage solutions that suit their space and lifestyle.

4. Choose Timeless Over Trendy
In a year or two, that bold tile pattern might feel dated. I encourage clients to keep permanent features classic and layer in personality through styling.

5. Know What’s Possible in Your Home
Every home has its quirks. Some bathrooms can’t easily be expanded. Some kitchens are better relocated. I assess the space before jumping to conclusions—this helps avoid costly rework.

6. Hire the Right People
A good renovation designer will collaborate with your builder and trades to make sure things go smoothly. I work closely with a network of trusted local professionals across the Hills.
