Gone are the days of working from the kitchen table or setting up a makeshift office in the spare room; today, the focus is on a cleverly designed, well thought out, home office, that enables you to be productive and keep work and home life separate.

Why choose Refresh Renovations?

Refresh Renovations began because our team of Renovation Consultants were committed to changing the way the world renovates. We saw an opportunity to provide homeowners with a renovation experience that was stress-free, enjoyable, and effective.
And that’s the reason why so many homeowners embarking on a DIY project, have left it in the hands of the experts and chosen Refresh Renovations to project manage their transformation.
The Refresh process is undertaken in 5 steps, starting with a free, no-obligation consultation during which your local Renovation Consultant can understand what it is you want to achieve from your project, whether that’s a home office renovation, a kitchen upgrade, the addition of a bathroom, or an outdoor extension.
Once they understand exactly how you envisage your space to look, they’ll work to prepare plans, confirm the cost, and outline the timeframe. Upon agreement and confirmation of these elements, your project can begin.
Your Renovation Consultant will oversee the project from concept to completion, remaining your single point of contact throughout the renovation. They’ll call upon their trusted network of industry professionals to get the job done, and deliver you a finished project that’s of the highest quality.

What are some creative home office ideas?

Our proven ability over recent years to pivot and work from pretty much anywhere has meant home office spaces have taken on a minimalist appearance. A popular and creative home office idea is transforming a wall in the home that’s dedicated to ‘work’. With a stand up desk and floating shelves, a Scandinavian-inspired workspace can be achieved with minimal effort.
Another creative home office idea is establishing a workspace in a wall alcove, where featured barn doors or sliding doors can be pulled across to remove visibility when not in use. Alcoves or sunken wardrobe spaces allow for desk depth, drawers, and shelving.
If you have a Pinterest board full of creative home office ideas, get in touch with your local Manukau and Eastern Bays Renovation Consultant for a no-obligation consultation.

How to create a home office in a small space?

Limited space is no hindrance when it comes to creating a home office. In fact, many of the best home offices are contained in small spaces within the home. The best way to create a home office in a small space is to maximise real estate. This allows you to get creative with décor, storage, and shelving.
What’s important when it comes to creating a home office in a small space is ensuring you have adequate lighting, both natural and otherwise. This is where the expert eye of your local Renovation Consultant in Manukau and Eastern Bays can help.

How much does a home office renovation cost in Manukau and Eastern Bays?

A light and bright home office and media room in Remuera came about from an effective garage conversion. Completed over 10 weeks at a cost of $130,000, these homeowners wanted to transform their very basic garage into a space that was bright and perfect for working in.
Another Auckland renovation transformed a home’s kitchen, rumpus, laundry, and office spaces. This 10 week project cost $120,000 and gave a 1920’s Ellerslie home an upgraded interior space that was more open and functional.
As these two examples show, every homeowner has a different vision they want to achieve for their home office, but by working with their local Renovation Consultant, they were able to achieve something suitable for their lifestyle and budget*.
