Create a New Look with Paint

A coat of paint is one of the easiest ways to freshen up a home. Simply painting your interior walls a lighter colour can make small rooms seem bigger and brighter.

And paint isn’t just for the walls. Rather than replace old tiles in your kitchen or bathroom, you can give them a new lease of life with a lick of tile paint. Specifically designed for coating ceramic, porcelain and glass tiles, tile paint is a great way to revive the look and won’t flake off over time.

Paint can also protect your metal gates and fences from rusting and flaking. You can make them look as good as new with a coat or two of rust guard paint.

Quick Kitchen Renovations

Renovating your kitchen doesn’t have to be a big expensive job. With a few simple cosmetic changes you can make a huge impact.

Tired old laminate kitchen cabinets or bench tops can be made to look brand new again with a coat of paint. Or, you could instantly modernise your kitchen by replacing your tiles with a new splashback.

Changing the cupboard door handles and taps is another simple and cost effective way to update your kitchen. Even replacing cabinet doors won’t cost a fortune. You’ll get the look of a brand new kitchen for a fraction of the cost.

New flooring can completely change the look and feel of your kitchen. There are plenty of options including ceramic, terracotta or porcelain tiles, laminate, wood or vinyl.

If you’re thinking about a complete kitchen makeover, you can save a lot of money by doing it yourself. Bunnings In-home Kitchen Consultant service can help you plan and create your kitchen renovation or you can try it yourself with the Bunnings 3D kitchen planner.
