Why choose Refresh Renovations?

It’s easy to get caught up in the buzz of a renovation; browsing for inspiration online, selecting fixtures and fittings, dreaming of endless possibilities.

What home renovation ideas are currently popular in North Sydney and Hornsby?

Renovations have always been about optimising your property but, as we’ve experienced a major lifestyle shift over the past few years, it’s more important than ever. Homeowners in the North Sydney and Hornsby areas are focusing renovations on improving the flow throughout their homes, whether that means reconfiguring the layout of the main living level, or enhancing indoor/outdoor flow. 
Alfresco areas that connect directly to the kitchen or lounge make entertaining easy and allow you to take full advantage of the temperate climate year-round.
