The LifeStyle Channel’s Selling Houses Australia
Episode 13 Season 8
The Story: Angela Service always dreamed of a
little holiday house by the sea. So when she saw a pint-sized ex motel unit at
the bargain price $79,000, she snapped it up. For a while she made great use of
the place, then life got in the way. Now she’s desperate to sell, but in 2
years hasn’t had a single offer. Can Charlie and Shaynna think outside the box
and turn tiny into terrific?
The Problem: The Batehaven
home was a tiny home, full of little challenges. The entrance led straight into
the lounge room, where the lounge room was enough to send buyers away because
it was small, had no character and connected to the kitchen and dining room. The
blue wall and cupboards just gave the room a tacky and run-down look.
The bathroom was
literally a hole in the wall, where the water tank was smack bang right next to
the sink, and not to mention the horrible bright blue walls. The outside of the
home was not any better. It lacked character, was small and very bare. And then
there was the very tiny courtyard screaming out for a transformation.
The Solution: For the interior, a lot had to be fitted into the
tiny space. Smart hidden storage space was created throughout the home, as to
not take up anymore room. Space efficient appliances were installed and a brand
new coat of paint, and new floor boards in the lounge and kitchen area created
that whole new difference to the lounge room. Grey, navy and cream tones were
used in the lounge and kitchen area to give the room a sophisticated look.
Complimented with Roller Blinds in the fabric Havana Blockout and colour Fog,
the grey tones of the Roller Blinds was the perfect match for the navy wall,
and the boat feel of the room.
The bathrooms were
given new fittings to add a bit of bling, where cupboards were added for extra
storage along with the Luxaflex® Roller Blinds to
compliment the white-toned bathroom.
The master bedroom was given
a brand new bed with under compartments of storage – perfect for a small space,
which added great functionality. The bare sliding door window was given a
revamp and replaced with Luxaflex® Roller Blinds.
The fabric Soltec and Silpcast Blockout in the colours White and Versailles were used throughout all the bedrooms and were the perfect match for the décor and colour tones, working with the white and neutral tones of the bedrooms, but also adding a pop of colour.
