Are you a Perth homeowner looking to increase the value of your property? Strategic home renovations can enhance your home’s appeal and resale value.
As a trusted home renovation company in Perth, Addstyle is here to guide you through the top 10 renovation ideas that can transform your home and maximise its potential.
1. Kitchen Remodeling: The Heart of Your Home
A well-designed kitchen can significantly boost your property’s value. There is a lot of renovation potential here, especially if your kitchen is over 10 years old.
For a quick win, consider updating your countertops with high-quality materials like granite or quartz, or replacing outdated cabinets with modern, functional designs.
The next level is investing in energy-efficient appliances or adding a stylish kitchen island to enhance the space’s appeal and functionality.
Many property owners also consider moving the location of the kitchen entirely, when incorporating the work into a larger home extension. In some older homes kitchens were located in the centre of the house, where as these days kitchens are often incorporated into an open-plan living space, commonly at the rear of the home overlooking the garden or pool area.
If you are overhauling or rebuilding the entire kitchen area, we are increasingly seeing sculleries designed into modern, multi-functional kitchens. This effectively allows a ‘working kitchen’ to be kept out of sight, allowing a neat and tidy entertainer’s section of the kitchen.
Spotlight on the Hillarys Project
The Hillarys Renovation Project by Addstyle designers involved a comprehensive kitchen remodel as part of the ground-floor home extension and renovation.
We transformed the original kitchen into a spacious, double-sized kitchen with modern amenities and an improved layout.
2. Bathroom Updates: A Spa-Like Retreat
Focus on these strategic improvements to create a luxurious, inviting atmosphere that attracts potential buyers:
- Replace outdated fixtures: Swap out old fixtures for modern alternatives. New taps, showerheads, and lighting can instantly refresh the bathroom’s look and feel.
- Install a sleek new vanity: A stylish vanity provides essential storage and serves as a focal point. Choose a design that complements the bathroom’s overall aesthetic.
- Update tile work: Refreshing tile work can dramatically change the bathroom’s appearance. Consider trendy patterns, classic subway tiles, or elegant mosaics to add visual interest.
- Incorporate modern amenities: Add luxurious features to elevate the bathroom experience. Options include a rainfall showerhead, heated floors, or a freestanding bathtub. These elements create a spa-like atmosphere, enhancing comfort and appeal.
- Elevate luxury and appeal: Modern amenities can significantly boost the bathroom’s luxury and attractiveness to buyers. A well-designed bathroom renovation can make a strong impression and add value to your home.
Updating bathrooms adds a touch of elegance and comfort to your home and significantly increases its appeal.
Showcasing the Perth Hills Project
In the Perth Hills, we renovated a home by adding a main bedroom with raking ceilings, a walk-in robe, and a verandah with valley views.
But it might be the ensuite that stole the show. The substantial space features a freestanding bath, a walk-behind overhead shower, and a separate powder room. This luxurious bathroom addition enhances both comfort and style.
3. Curb Appeal Enhancements
The exterior of your home plays a crucial role in attracting potential buyers. Enhance your property’s curb appeal by:
- Modifying the front elevation to modernize it’s appearance
- Remodel the entrance to incorporate a portico or veranda
- Add a carport or garage to the front of the property
- Rendering, cladding or repainting the exterior
- Updating the front door
- Adding stylish outdoor lighting
- Investing in professional landscaping
These small touches make a big impact. They create a welcoming first impression and increase your home’s perceived value.
4. Energy-Efficient Upgrades: Attract Eco-Conscious Buyers
Sustainable design is a priority for us at Addstyle.
Upgrading your home’s energy efficiency doesn’t just reduce energy costs. It also increases the appeal for eco-conscious buyers – most people nowadays.
Installing double-glazed windows, improving insulation, installing feature skylights, and investing in a high-efficiency heating and cooling system are relatively straightforward renovation ideas that make a big difference.
5. Smart Home Technology Integration: The Future of Living
Smart home technology is rapidly becoming a must-have feature for modern homebuyers. Integrate smart thermostats, security systems, lighting controls, and voice-activated assistants to create a connected and convenient living experience.
These features enhance the functionality of your home and add a cutting-edge appeal that can set your property apart in the market.
6. Outdoor Living Spaces: Extend Your Living Area
In Perth’s beautiful climate, outdoor living spaces are highly sought-after.
Consider adding an alfresco area under the main roofline or a deck or veranda. You can also incorporate an outdoor kitchen or fireplace to create an inviting area for entertaining and relaxation.

These additions extend your living space and connect indoor and outdoor areas, making your property more attractive to potential buyers.
Addstyle designs and builds spaces to suit your needs and budget, from alfresco areas with built-in kitchens and fireplaces to self-contained pool houses.

7. Flooring Upgrades: A Fresh Foundation
Buyers appreciate the value and durability that comes with high-quality flooring.
- Replace worn carpets with timeless hardwood floors or large-scale tiling
- Modernise bathrooms and wet rooms with stylish tiles
If you’re thinking about selling in the next year or two, flooring is a great renovation idea. It shows potential buyers that you’ve invested in upkeep beyond the basics.
8. Granny Flats and Studios: Versatile Value-Adds
Granny flats or accessory dwelling units (ADU) can be used as rental units, guest houses, or home offices, providing additional income potential or accommodating multi-generational living arrangements.
With the growing demand for flexible living options, a well-designed granny flat can be a valuable asset to your property.
We know this from experience, having completed many throughout Perth over the past 35+ years. You’re welcome to borrow some renovation ideas from our project gallery.
