Trap one: Spending too much or too little According to the experts at, the first thing you should think about is whether you are spending too much or too little. 'How much you spend on your bathroom renovation will vary depending on your individual needs, the overall value of the property, the style of your home and the bathroom space,' the experts told Choice. For example, a family home bathroom will look very different to that of a retired couple in an apartment. Immediate past national president of the Building Designers Association of Australia (BDAA) Ray Brown told Choice that if you're planning on renovating a bathroom, you should do your homework. 'In the building industry, we've always maintained that we get three quotes for anything, and that starts from basically the fundamentals - the renovating, waterproofing, tiling and then all your prime cost items.' And as with over spending, you should also avoid under spending - as this can de-value your property if you want to sell. According to the experts at Choice, the first thing you should think about is whether you are spending too much or too little (stock image) 2. Trap two: Doing a full renovation when a cosmetic one would do When it comes to renovating, countless people say you should never rip out the whole thing - and rather just do a cosmetic refresh. Renovating expert Cherie Barber said 'there are are lots of hideous bathrooms out there with wild and wacky tiles but, once you take a closer look, you'll see that structurally you might have one in great condition.' Contemplate carrying out a cosmetic refresh before you rip out every installation and fitting. This will not only help with the look, but with costs too. <div class="art-ins mol-factbox floatRHS femail" data-version="2" id="mol-2eee0780-6fa1-11e9-8986-bb1e516bb90a" website reveal the five biggest bathroom renovation rip offs

A couple have given a vintage caravan a makeover and transformed it into an epic home on wheels - complete with a modern-style kitchenette, daybed, reading nook and dining area. School teacher Annika 33, and her geologist husband Duncan 32, from , , purchased the old 1978 Viscount Explorer pop-top in June 2020. The pair decided to take on a creative covid-isolation project by converting the 16-ft caravan into a luxury '' so they could one day do the 'Big Lap' around Australia with their baby daughter Ziggy in tow. Instead of gutting the caravan, the parents spent five months updating the space with paint, 'cosmetic' touches, DIY tiles and wallpapers, timber flooring, new furniture and lighting, and budget décor items. A couple have given a vintage caravan a new lease of life after transforming the outdated piece into an epic home on wheels The pair converted the 16-ft caravan into a luxury 'Vonnie the Viscount' after spending just five months renovating the space School teacher Annika 33, and her geologist husband Duncan 32, from Perth, Western Australia, purchased the old 1978 Viscount Explorer pop-top in June 2020 (pictured together with their one-year-old daughter Ziggy) The couple had purchased the caravan from a 'gorgeous' family who initially used the vehicle for their road trips. 'They were reluctant to sell, as they adored the van and the memories it had given them - but they were pleased it was going to new owners who would cherish it. They had called the van 'Vonnie' and we decided to keep the name as an homage to them,' Annika told Daily Mail Australia. 'We loved the style of the older vans, they have far more character than ones you can buy off the shelf today, plus we thought if it's made it this far, it's built to last.' Just 11 weeks after Ziggy was born, the new parents started the process of renovating their humble van in June. 'Covid restrictions gave us a little extra time and we just seemed to work it around life with a newborn,' she said. The duo wanted a 'vintage aesthetic' to blend in with the modern touches of their caravan transformation. 'Prior to renovation, the interior was all wood laminate, very dark and a bit dated. We wanted to make the small space feel as big and airy as possible so we went with all white for the walls, furniture and [https://www.pinterest.ca/basementpeter/ perfect-basements] cabinetry,' she said. 'The layout of the cabinetry and furniture was perfect, with a double bed at one end, bunks at the other and kitchenette and lounge in the middle - it was exactly what we were looking for and ideal for our growing family.'

From there, they used a 'lightweight, waterproof self-adhesive' wallpaper as the kitchen's splashback and installed a Tasmanian oak benchtop, which matched their timber floor. 'Originally the van had bunk beds at one end, we removed the top bunk from one end of the caravan and made a day bed instead,' Annika said. In addition to painting and cosmetic touches, the couple added other modern things to their caravan to 'make life on the road a bit easier and more enjoyable'. 'We replaced the old gas electric fridge with a 12V upright Waeco fridge. It has a fully off-grid electrical system, all the lights, fridge, water pump and chargers can be run off the battery and solar system we installed ourselves,' she said. 'There is a portable hot water system in a cabinet on the drawbar for outdoor showers, and plenty of fresh water in a tank underneath.' They used a 'lightweight, waterproof self-adhesive' wallpaper as the kitchen's splashback and installed an oak benchtop They created an epic reading nook for their baby girl, filled with a selection of books and a huge cushion to read against Before and after: The pair said they got most of their styling and renovating ideas from other caravan transformations online Like any extensive makeover, the couple faced many challenges along the way. 'The biggest challenge we faced was discovering the plywood ceiling of the pop top had some rotting due to years in the weather. This gave us the opportunity to remove and replace it with rot resistant marine ply, as well as adding some insulation to make hot and cold weather more bearable,' she said. The pair said they got most of their styling and renovating ideas from other caravan transformations online. 'We feel we have always had an eye for good design, carefully honed over the years while styling our own home. Vonnie's interior also owes a lot to some caravans we already follow on Instagram,' the young mother said. When furnishing the van, the couple trawled through op shops to find glassware and crockery that had the 'double bonus of being cheap and matched the vintage aesthetic' and used a budget range of modern home décor. 'We also made cushions out of fabrics we collected on a trip to Morocco. Kettle, toaster, bedding are from Kmart…Storage drawers and tubs in cupboards secured down and perfect fit for items to avoid rolling around and clutter.'

Hardware giant Bunnings hopes to get Gen Z hooked on DIY through a hi-tech makeover - despite most having little hope of owning their own home any time soon. The home improvements warehouse chain admitted it faced an uphill struggle to engage the youthful under-25s target market who mostly live with their parents. But chief executive Michael Schneider insisted a new masterplan to lure them in via social media and phone apps would transform the business, despite the obvious challenges. Hardware giant Bunnings hopes to get Gen Z hooked on DIY through a hi-tec makeover - despite most having little hope of owning their own home any time soon 'We believe Gen Z have defined attitudes and preferences that require a reimagining of the DIY shopping experience,' he told the Global DIY Summit in Denmark. 'Today, they are infrequent purchasers of DIY products, relative to the average DIYer. 'And whilst that's probably not too surprising given most still live at home, it means there are fantastic opportunities to connect and engage and inspire them around all things DIY.' Escalating property prices have plunged home ownership per capita in Australia to levels not seen since the 1950s, in a worrying trend for Bunnings. The store's business plan relies on supplying customers with the tools and raw materials they need for their home improvement and renovation projects. But the next generation living with parents for years longer, or in rental properties, has sent a chill through the Bunnings boardroom. Bunnings home improvements warehouse chain admits it faces an uphill struggle to engage the youthful under-25s target market who mostly live with their parents Gen Z make up 20 per cent of the population but already spend around 36 per cent of all retail trade, and that's tipped to rise to 48 per cent by 2030 as more join the workforce. Bunnings hopes to draw them into DIY through the new wave of smart home technologies - such as custom lighting and home automation - even before they become property owners. Bunnings is also developing augmented reality and 3D design apps for users to visualise changes they can make to their homes... whether they own them yet or not. 'Their affinity with technology means they are smart home enthusiasts - more than two-thirds are interested in installing smart home tech in the future,' he said. RELATED ARTICLES Share this article Share And even if they don't own their homes, the Bunnings boss is convinced they are still dreaming about their first house and planning it out long before they can move in. 'Gen Z are really interested in learning more about interior [https://www.hotfrog.ca/company/0d1cb5708c1957c2a1ff04c260f68889/perfect-basements/richmond-hill/contractor-equipment-and-services perfect-basements] design and home styling,' Mr Schneider said. 'Our research shows they are absolutely thinking about their future homes and, despite affordability challenges, they're optimistic they will own a home one day.' Bunnings intends to roll out new apps aimed at Gen Z, step up their video content on YouTube, and enlisted the help of social media influencers and bloggers to reach the youth market. 'They want to source their DIY inspiration and discover products much in the same way as they curate their social media feeds and use other digital services,' Mr Schneider said. But CEO Michael Schneider insists a new masterplan to lure them in via social media and phone apps will transform the business, despite the obvious challenges 'For Bunnings that's meant doing things a bit differently, seeking out social influencers and brands on social media, and thinking about apps to help visualise a space online, blogs and YouTube videos. 'We're working extensively with social influencers to bring DIY inspiration to life in a relevant and relatable way. 'We started working with influencers a few years ago and today we have an extensive program.' Mr Schneider said the initiative was already showing signs of success. 'Pleasingly, our membership base has more than doubled in the past two years,' he said. 'Thirty-five per cent of the [Bunnings] Workshop audience are Gen Z or Gen Y, and we have big plans to expand to help Gen Z fulfil their desire for purpose.'
