Did you catch last week’s Love It or List It Australia episode? Homeowners Brett & Anita tasked show hosts with presenting two options – find a new ‘bigger’ home that would better fit their family, or undergo renovations to re imagine their existing home in a way that works for them. From a betting perspective, it felt like the new home option was a sure thing – their home seemed far too small and cramped with a bigger home sounding like the obvious solution. Their problems with their space were some of the most common issues we hear – lack of flow, wasted space, lack of natural light, and the dreaded toilet / bathroom directly off the living room. Designer Neale Whitaker of team ‘Love It’ uses his expertise and experience to make key changes to the floor plan that remedy the above issues and completely transforms the feeling of the house – and even more impressive, he does so without extending the footprint! Adding skylights, reworking entry points, and optimizing storage spaces are just some of the tools used to transform their existing home into the space they always dreamed it could be! And although team ‘List It’ put up some strong contenders’, team ‘Love It’ took the win and won us over for good.
