St Georges in Adelaide’s eastern suburbs is well known for its wide leafy streets that travel from Port Rush Road to Sunnyside Drive. Highfield Avenue and Wootoona Terrace and the other two major roads that border St Georges, before crossing into Linden Park and Glen Osmond.
On average, many houses sit on large blocks of land, around 850 square metres. The frontages of these properties are typically 18 metres wide and meet the Burnside Council requirements for sub-division. The Burnside Council usually want a minimum of 9 metres of frontage per home and an overall block size of 400 square metres to allow a sub-division to occur.
However, not every homeowner wants to split their block, and the cost of selling a home and stamp duty has changed many homeowners’ minds, and they are opting to stay put and renovate their homes instead (source Karen Stewart – Langley Real Estate).
We were recently engaged by a client in St Georges to renovate their home. The project involved the following:
- Bathroom renovation
- Ensuite renovation
- Laundry renovation
- Kitchen renovation
- Outdoor alfresco works
The project was designed to not affect the client’s living circumstances and avoid them having to move out during the project. The fact the client had 2 bathrooms made this process a lot smoother as we could do one at a time and not need the use of a temporary ensuite.
Market trends for 2025 in bathrooms
The bathroom renovation market changes each year and as we now look into 2025 we are starting to see a lot more trends already popping up:
- In wall toilet cisterns (pictured)
- Wall-mounted mixer tapware (in the picture from Phoenix Tapware)
- Introduction of various colour schemes in tap ware, fixtures and hardware
- Feature walls with small kit-kat style tiles
- Induction cooktops
- Stone benchtops throughout all rooms
- Integrated fridges and dishwashers
- Scallop board walls
- Freestanding baths
As a Luxury Bathroom renovation company in Adelaide, it is our priority to bring all our clients the latest options for their bathrooms to ensure their selections remain on trend for many years to come and don’t age quickly. We use some of Adelaide’s leading Architects and Interior Designers to get the perfect result every time.
Creating the St Georges Renovation Project
After the design and selection process has been performed it is time to implement this onsite. A typical bathroom renovation will take between 5 to 6 weeks to perform this allows for the site measure and installation of shower glass and any custom mirrors.
The kitchen is a little more straight forward. Once the old kitchen has been ripped out the services such as plumbing and electrical can be performed and the final site measure performed. Once the kitchen cupboards and overheads have been installed the stone benches can be measured and the lead time on these is then between 2 to 4 weeks.
A typical laundry will also follow the same processes as the kitchen, provided there are no structural modifications to be performed.
