Selling Houses Australia - Grandma's House

The Lifestyle Channel's Selling Houses Australia - Episode 7

ROMSEY - Grandma's House

OVERVIEW: Andrew inherited his grandma's house and was excited to be living in a place they could call their own...or so they thought. To Andrew's family and friends, the house still belonged to grandma and all of their renovation plans were met with strong disapproval. Not only this, but Andrew and his wife were hoarders which only added to the list of negatives.

PROBLEM: Being an extremely cold area, the house needed some natural insulation and its interiors were brick, making the home dark and dated.

SOLUTION: To combat the cold temperatures, Luxaflex Duette Architella Shades were selected for their insulating properties. Translucent 'Elan' fabric in colour 'Platinum', a pale colour was chosen to brighten up the interior and give it a modern touch while reducing the need for heating in winter.

.

HOW IT WORKS: Luxaflex Duette Architella Shades feature revolutionary cell-within-a-cell construction, which forms three distinct air pockets, trapping the air and acting as an insulation barrier for the window. The shades are available in a range of colours, opacities and textures to suit the interior of any home.

HUONBROOK - The Land of No Return

OVERVIEW: Comedian Akmal Saleh and his wife wanted a life of relaxation in the Byron Shire hinterland town of Huonrook. After purchasing a seven acre property with a one bedroom shack, they discovered that the area experienced constant rain, leeches, rats and snakes.

PROBLEM: In order for the land to be re-sold, the bush shack had to be renovated with simple and attractive features.

SOLUTION: Luxaflex installed Roller Blinds with Patented EDGE Technology in blockout 'Telopea' fabric in colour 'White Sand'.



HOW IT WORKS: Roller Blinds with Patented EDGE (Ergonomically Designed with Greater Efficiency) Technology combine a modern and sleek look, engineered to meet Australian conditions. They come with a range of operating systems including chain, crank or motorised solutions which can be accessed with a remote device such as an iPhone or iPad.

Selling Houses Australia - House of Doors

The Lifestyle Channel's Selling Houses Australia Episode 5

GLENDENNING - House of Doors

OVERVIEW: First impressions count, especially when it comes to the front door of your home. As a result of an earlier subdivision, the front of Jaison and Estella's 1970s brick house in Sydney's western suburb of Glendenning, became the back and to make it worse, people were greeted with not one, but three doors. The house had no street appeal so the only option was to fix the dated home itself to appeal to buyers.

PROBLEM: With so many dysfunctional elements, the only option was to make the interiors as appealing as possible to attract buyer attention. Built in the 1970s, the owners wanted to modernise the home and install features that would give the home a lift and make it more interesting.

SOLUTION: Luxaflex installed Classique Roman Shades in Telopea blockout fabric in colour 'Latte' throughout the home to give it a contemporary look and feel. 'Latte' was specifically selected to add a point of difference and create a feature element that would appeal to the buyer.





HOW IT WORKS: Luxaflex Classique Roman Shades use a simple, elegant extrusion system, to create clean folds in the fabric. The shades operate on a durability-tested cord lock and pulley system and come in a range of fabrics and colours to suit any interiors.

Selling Houses Australia - Nightmare Investment

The Lifestyle Channel's Selling Houses Australia Episode 4

ERSKINEVILLE - Nightmare Investment

OVERVIEW: When Natasha lived overseas, she thought she would get ahead in the property market by purchasing a 2-bedroom terrace in Sydney's inner western suburb, Erskineville, without inspecting it first. Big mistake. Damp walls, dark, pokey rooms and a dilapidated kitchen were all in need of urgent renovation.

PROBLEM: Natasha's terrace was a wreck with crumbly walls due to rising damp. The home had lost all of its original unique features - except for the windows.

SOLUTION: Luxaflex Newstyle Polyresin Shutters in 'White' were the only solution for the terrace. They were selected to help bring back life to the original windows and were the ideal option to sustain a damp, humid environment.



HOW IT WORKS: Luxaflex Newstyle Polyresin Shutters offer the traditional look of Plantation Style Shutters without the maintenance problems. They are manufactured from a unique Polyresin compound, are water resistant and will not warp, shrink, peel or fade, making them ideal for inside and outside the home - particularly in Natasha's damp terrace.
