Bedroom
Price guideline
Bedrooms are a very personal project to undertake, and here are some prices to help guide you through breathing life back into the most relaxing room in your house.
- With a lick of paint and a new carpet, your room can be lifted and completely new. This should cost around $10-$20 per square meter for painting and carpet about $30-$65 per meter depending on the carpet you choose.
If you are restoring your floor and repairing walls, depending on you have brick or timber and gyprock, you will need to add a renderer or a gyprocker to the cost at around $40-$75 per hour. Then with timber floor restoration costing around $40-$70 per square metre for sanding and staining, and painting at around $10-$30 per square meter it becomes a bit more costly but the change could completely transform your room to create the space youve always wanted.
If you want to go all out you can spend anywhere from $15,000 to $60,000. A full electrical fit out and ceiling for downlights, a new full hardwood timber floor or plush carpets and built in walk in robes to die for. You can also install tv’s that descend from the ceiling and all sorts of amazing gadgets to make your bedroom to be to most relaxing and comfortable it can be.

A simple way to completely change your room is with walls, floor, ceiling and furniture.
- Method -
Strip off the room
Step 1/7
First and foremost as always in demolition, or strip out. Remove all furniture, from the room, rip up old carpet, and take down those outdated blinds. You also may have to strip off the old wallpaper too.
Get the electricity sorted
Step 2/7
Now is the best time to get your electrician in to fit or change anything you might want eg. lights, power points, television leads etc. They tend to make a mess and your renderer or Gyprocker will need to patch this.
Fix up walls
Step 3/7
When your room is bare, you will need to look at the state of the walls. If you have holes in the render, they will need patching by you renderer, or if timber frame your Gyprock may need changing or patching too.
Built in wardrobes?
Step 4/7 [optional step]
If you want to have built in wardrobes, get your joiner in now to measure up to save you waiting for them once finished. Also If you want any new walls or frames built, you will need your carpenter to sort that out.
Floor renovation
Step 5/7
Depending on what you are doing with the floor, you may need to revise the state of your floorboards if you are looking at restoring them or laying new carpet on them. If you have a concrete floor, and you want timber, you will need your carpenter or timber floor laying company to come and measure up and get going with floor battens and installation.
Painting time
Step 6/7
Painting is a messy affair, so cover everything that could get damaged with paint splatters and get stuck in. You will need to prime the walls well for a good finishing result. If you want something perfect, please hire a painter. (A good painter will make a lot of difference).
Finition
Step 7/7
Once painting is finished you can finish your flooring and have your carpenter come back to do skirting boards and architraves.
"All done! You have a brand new place to relax, recharge yourself and dream of what you would like to renovate next."
