5 Essential Items all renovators need

Mitsubishi published an article on realestate.com on 6 February 2025 to provide some very helpful information for anyone looking to renovate their home.

The aim on these renovations are to make your home as comfortable as possible for you to live in.

1. Invest in quality insulation – Insulation can save you money. But it is important to get the best bang for your buck. The higher the R-Value, the better the insulation performs, which means you’ll stay cooler in summer and warmer in winter.
2. Install quality air conditioning - Air conditioners were once considered luxury, but now they’re essential for any modern home. When deciding on the right air conditioning for your home, try to choose products that are reliable and of top-quality, which you can search from consumer review websites.
3. Consider double glazing windows in living spaces - Double-glazing involves two layers of glass with a gap in between, which helps reduce heat transfer. In the summer, they keep the heat out, and in the winter, they trap the warmth inside, making it easier to maintain a comfortable temperature all year round.
4. Set the mood and save on energy - With smart lighting, you can control the ambiance of your home with a simple tap on your phone, making each room feel just right no matter the time of day. Plus, with energy-efficient LED bulbs, you can also reduce your power usage.
5. Look to build storage - One of the best ways to combat the mess is by integrating smart, built-in storage solutions into your renovation. Depending on your home’s layout, consider custom cabinetry in living areas, kitchens or the bedrooms. If you have stairs, under-stair storage can be a clever way to turn an often-overlooked area into something useful.

These recommendations not only make your house more liveable, it also increases the value of your home as well as reducing your living expenses.  Talk about win win!
