Achange of season is the ideal time to tackle or plan home improvements. And this Autumn the to-do lists might be a little longer than usual. This issue serves up timely home maintenance tasks and beautification projects, with budget in mind. You can tick off pesky jobs (p53, p65) or flex your home stylist’s muscle (p15), bringing relief and satisfaction.

What I love about a trip to Bunnings is the inevitable discovery in a random aisle of something to inspire joyful updates (textured paints, door hardware) or solve a niggle (storage racks or door seals, anyone?). Even better is the expert guidance and services to support every home goal. With so many in mop-up mode after the recent weather events, there is plenty to do. And whether you’re shoring up your home or contemplating a major renovation, we all want the same outcome: a job well done. Seek advice when you need it, and stay safe.

Paint Power

Craving a change? Brighten your space – and your mood – with new paint. A fresh coat cleans up your surrounds and provides an easy atmosphere boost. Create wow with one feature wall or update a whole room. Turn to page 43 for a beginner’s guide to painting.

Healthy rentals

Every tenant is entitled to a home that meets a minimum standard for heating, insulation, ventilation, draught proofing, moisture ingress and drainage. A Bunnings Healthy Home Standards Assessment can determine whether a rental property complies with minimum legal requirements*.
