What’s the best layout for small units?

Open-plan layouts are often ideal for small units. Removing unnecessary walls, combining kitchen and living spaces, and using multi-purpose furniture can maximise functionality. Smart storage solutions and clear traffic flow are also important. Every unit is different, so design should reflect both the space available and your lifestyle needs.

Do unit renovations need council approval?

Most interior renovations won’t need council approval unless they involve structural changes or plumbing relocation. However, body corporate approval is almost always required. If the work affects fire safety, drainage, or shared walls, check with both your local council and building management before proceeding to avoid compliance issues.

How can lighting improve a unit renovation?

Lighting has a major impact on how a unit feels. Adding more natural light, using LED downlights, or installing layered lighting helps create warmth and openness. Task lighting in kitchens and bathrooms improves functionality, while updated fixtures can also lift the appearance of older interiors without structural changes.

What’s the difference between renovating a unit and a house?

Renovating a unit usually involves more constraints than a house. Access, noise limits, shared walls, and body corporate rules must be considered. Units also require more efficient use of space. While house renovations offer greater flexibility, units often require smarter planning and tighter coordination with building management.
