Win $10,000 for your reno with Latitude Financial Services

July 10, 2017 15 Comments

Sponsored by Latitude Financial Services

We’ve been teasing you on social media for days but today it’s finally time to reveal our biggest competition EVER, offering you an amazing $10,000 towards that home reno project ย you’ve been dying to get done but couldn’t afford to. We’ve teamed up with Latitude Financial Services to bring you this, our biggest giveaway ever!

Whether you put the money towards a major project (or something that has been waiting to be finished!) or use it to completely cover the cost of a smaller project, there are so many things you could achieve with 10 grand, from a bathroom or kitchen refresh to new window coverings or flooring throughout your home, that dream custom built-in entertainment and shelving unit in the living room, a new deck…

This is your chance to Better Your Home in our competition of the same name!

Here are some of our top ideas for what you could spend the money on, depending on the size and age of your home/room and complexity of your project:

  • Create a walk-in wardrobe
  • Built-in custom shelving for your living room
  • A bathroom refresh with new vanity, shower screen, bath and toilet
  • Install skylights to let more natural light in
  • Completely make over a room with paint, flooring, window coverings, furniture and homewares
  • Replace all/some of your flooring
  • Replace all your lights with new ones/have downlights installed
  • A new front door and porch
  • Plantation shutters installed in key rooms
  • New/custom built-ins in bedrooms
  • Replace all your internal and external doors
  • Have older doors replaced with bi-folds/French doors
  • Replace your laminate kitchen benchtop with stone and a new splashback
  • Have the exterior of your house painted
  • Have the interior of your house painted
  • Knock down a wall to create an open plan space
  • Replace your ageing windows
  • Create custom, built-in storage for a multitude of uses
  • Makeover your laundry with new floor, paint, cabinetry, benchtop and sink
  • Create a basic outdoor kitchen
  • Update/create a deck outside
  • Turn your garage into a workshop/studio

As someone who is currently planning renos, I know firsthand that everything costs more than you think it will, especially when you get trades involved and have to factor in labour. With house prices as they are, by the time you’ve struggled to buy your home, there’s often not much left over to get it looking how you want it. This is such an amazing opportunity for someone and I can’t wait to see what the winner does with the money. We’ll be sharing the before and after with you here too!

Is your bedroom more drab than fab?
Would you love to TRANSFORM it like this?

For your chance to win, we’re simply asking you to share what you’d do with the money and why you deserve to win, and send us a photo of the space you’re looking to make better.

The winner will also get a Skype call with me and our resident renovation expert, the extremely talented and experienced Naomi Findlay, with more than 100 renos to her name. We can’t wait to bounce ideas around with you!

Please ensure you read the terms and conditions carefully. Entries close Sunday 30ย July 2017 at 11.59pm AEST.

ENTER NOW

It's not just the award winning designer houses that get us excited here. It's also the beloved family homes which are renovated and extended to make them fit for purpose so people can continue to live where they love ๐Ÿค—

@inspiredspacesaus helped her clients with teenage kids transform this house in Sydney's Hills District inside and out, making it their forever home. 

Due to the nature of the block they could only extend sideways and then gave it street appeal with render, new windows and doors.

See inside on the blog now, via link in bio. It was completely overhauled!

    I was just mentally planning the downstairs bathroom reno (like I have been for the past 9 years) The magazine cuttings on the wall there are now so faded I can barely see the look I am after. And then this popped up in my feed. Could be a sign?! Am so going to enter!

    The more i think of it…the more i jump from one idea to the other. From the master bedroom, to carpeting, to the bathroom to a nursery ? and to all the little things weve left undone (door knobs, light fittings, shelving and furniture)…one thing that jumps out is our current plan to do an outdoor deck and pergola…we love entertaining outside and would the extra room to our cosy little townhouse…that being paid for would be our dream. What a great competition
