How the Full Home Renovation Started
When this Ringwood homeowner first contacted Nestovate for a full home renovation, they knew their property needed far more than a quick facelift. The entire home felt tired, with outdated bathrooms, a worn kitchen, poor lighting, and barely any storage. What they really wanted was a complete refresh that would modernise every corner while improving day-to-day functionality.
We walked through the entire home together and mapped out a comprehensive renovation plan, including bathrooms, kitchen, laundry, pantry, new flooring, lighting upgrades, custom cabinetry throughout, full house painting, and wardrobe installations. It was ambitious, but exactly what the home needed.
Our Renovation Strategy: Designing a Modern, Functional Home
The brief was simple: make it modern, make it functional, and ensure every space felt connected. Instead of treating each area separately, we approached this as a holistic home renovation, choosing finishes like Taj Mahal stone and light grey porcelain tiles that flow consistently from room to room.
Our layout expertise came into play immediately. We swapped the toilet and vanity in the ensuite for better flow, converted an old toilet room into a cleverly planned laundry, and transformed the former laundry into a full pantry. Every design choice focused on making the home work smarter, not just look better.
Renovation Challenges We Overcame
-
Flooring Preparation for Spotted Gum Hybrid Installation:
Once we pulled up the old carpets across 110 sqm, we discovered major levelling problems. Since the house sits on stumps, we had to complete extensive subfloor preparation before installing the spotted gum hybrid flooring. This meant specialist levelling compounds and careful prep to achieve a perfect finish. -
Fixing a Major Kitchen Ventilation Safety Issue:
The existing rangehood was venting directly into the attic, a genuine fire and moisture hazard. Instead of quick fixes, we installed a brand-new external chimney and ducting to safely vent the system outdoors, bringing everything up to code and ensuring long-term safety.
Smart Space Planning for Laundry and Pantry Renovation
Turning the old toilet room into a compact but fully functional laundry required meticulous planning to ensure it didn’t feel cramped. Smart cabinetry and layout optimisation made every inch count.
The Final Outcome: A Modern Home Renovation That Works
The final transformation completely elevated both functionality and aesthetics. The kitchen now features stunning Matte Grey Green cabinetry, 20mm stone benchtops, and smart storage solutions like a built-in spice rack, coffee station, and pull-out bin. Custom housing for 900mm appliances and proper ventilation make this a dream cooking space after the kitchen renovation.
Both bathrooms underwent full bathroom renovation makeovers. The main bathroom now includes a sleek walk-in shower with a black-framed screen, relocated vanity, and LED mirror. The ensuite features full-height porcelain tiles with a P3 slip rating, a recessed niche, and a three-mode LED mirror.
The new laundry, converted from the old toilet room, includes custom cabinetry and overhead storage, while the new pantry offers stone benchtops and organised storage throughout. Three custom wardrobes with mirrored sliding doors revamped bedroom storage completely, providing practical yet stylish solutions for every bedroom.
The spotted gum hybrid flooring now flows seamlessly across bedrooms, hallways, and living spaces. New modern LED downlights replaced outdated fixtures, instantly brightening the entire home. We also completed full house painting and replaced all old switches and power points with modern Clipsal Iconic switches, giving the home a refreshed, contemporary finish.
