With Christmas just around the corner, many of us are starting to think about entertaining, hosting whānau, or simply enjoying some much-needed time off at home. If your space is feeling a little tired or in need of a spruce-up, now is the perfect time to tick off a few quick and easy renovation projects before the holiday season kicks in.
At Total Renovations, we know that even small upgrades can make a big impact—especially when you’re short on time. Here are a few smart, stress-free renovation ideas you can tackle in the lead-up to Christmas:
1. Fresh Paint for a Fresh Start
Nothing lifts a room like a fresh coat of paint. Whether it’s a neutral refresh or a bold feature wall in the dining room, painting is one of the quickest ways to transform a space before guests arrive. Focus on high-traffic areas like the hallway, living room, or guest bedroom.
2. Kitchen Touch-Ups
You don’t need a full kitchen reno to make a difference. Swapping out old tapware, updating cabinet handles, or replacing tired benchtops can instantly modernise the heart of your home. If you’re hosting Christmas lunch, small updates now will go a long way on the day.
3. Bathroom Boosts
A dated bathroom can be quickly refreshed with new fixtures, updated lighting, or a sleek new vanity. Even replacing old silicone, deep cleaning tiles, or installing a fresh mirror can make a noticeable difference.
4. Deck or Outdoor Area Revamp
Make the most of a Kiwi summer Christmas with an inviting outdoor space. A quick deck clean, new seating area, or even a built-in BBQ bench can help create the ultimate holiday hangout spot. We can help you design something functional, stylish, and easy to maintain.
5. Lighting Upgrades
Upgrading your lighting—especially in living areas—can dramatically change the feel of your home. Consider dimmable LED lighting or pendant lights over the dining table for an instant style boost.
6. Declutter and Reorganise
While technically not a renovation, decluttering before Christmas is always a smart move. Need better storage solutions? We can help with custom shelving, wardrobe systems, or under-stair storage that looks great and works hard.
