While the terms are often used interchangeably, there is a clear distinction between a home renovation and a remodel. A renovation typically refers to updating or restoring existing features—like repainting, replacing flooring, or installing new cabinetry—without changing the room’s original purpose. For example, refreshing an outdated kitchen layout with new appliances and cupboards is a renovation. A remodel, on the other hand, involves altering the structure or purpose of a space. This could mean tearing down walls to create an open-plan living area or converting a garage into a bedroom. Renovations are generally more budget-friendly and faster to complete, while remodels require more extensive planning and compliance with building codes.

An accessible bathroom renovation is designed to support people with mobility challenges, including the elderly or individuals with disabilities. Key features include walk-in or roll-in showers with non-slip flooring, grab bars near toilets and showers, wall-mounted sinks for wheelchair access, and lever-style tap handles for ease of use. Many accessible bathrooms also feature height-adjusted mirrors, folding shower seats, and wider doorways to accommodate mobility aids like walkers or wheelchairs. These changes not only increase safety but also enhance independence and comfort. Compliance with Australian Standards for Disability Access (AS1428.1) is essential when designing accessible spaces.

Before constructing a deck or pergola, it’s important to assess your property’s layout, orientation, and council regulations. Consider how the structure will be used—entertaining, relaxing, or dining—and choose materials that suit both your climate and maintenance preferences. Hardwood and composite decking offer durability, while treated pine is more cost-effective. For pergolas, think about whether you want a fixed or retractable roof, open or closed sides, and what kind of shade or weather protection you need. Council permits may be required depending on the height and size of your structure, so it’s wise to check local building codes or consult a licensed builder.
