Small Kitchen Design Australia Ideas

Whether you own a spacious house or live in an apartment, you can still have a kitchen with character and charm. You just have to be creative and implement some of these small kitchen design australia ideas.

To build or renovate a kitchen that meets all standard specifications you should work with a professional. You can find qualified professionals listed on Houzz.

Draw the Eyes Up

There’s a common belief that a kitchen needs to be large and expansive to serve its purpose, but it doesn’t have to be. With smart design techniques and clever storage options, even small kitchen design Australia can look incredible.

One way to do this is to draw the eyes up, away from the clutter of cupboards and appliances. This can be done with the use of pattern. Geometric patterns are highly fashionable at the moment and can add interest to a room. However, be sure to avoid patterns that are too busy as this can make a space feel cramped and cluttered.

Using a light colour scheme is a great way to make a small room appear larger as it helps to reflect natural sunlight and brighten the whole space. Light colour cabinets also look better and more contemporary than darker ones and can be used in all styles of kitchens.

Storage and Cabinets Work Double Efficiency

Keeping kitchen items within easy reach is essential, particularly in small rooms. Using taller cabinetry is a great way to add extra storage, while floor-to-ceiling cupboards can visually expand the room. Floating shelves are also an excellent option, giving you plenty of storage without blocking the light and adding a stylish touch.

Having defined storage spaces can also make a space feel bigger. In this small, white kitchen, wood details on counters and open shelving keep the space looking clean and smart, while ceramic mugs and vases display a stylish flair.

If your small kitchen is part of an open plan space, consider keeping the sink and hob separate if possible. This will allow you to keep the classic kitchen work triangle, while also allowing you to create a bar area. If you’re planning on creating an openplan kitchen, consider getting a scale drawing done before starting any renovations to ensure everything works well. You can do this yourself by measuring your space and marking it on graph paper.

Give the Eyes Something to Focus On

Rather than opting for a flat-out monochrome kitchen design, choose to add a few high-shine elements. A stunning kitchen backsplash or shiny chrome fixtures will work to brighten up your space and accentuate the sense of height and depth.

A light-coloured palette also works wonders for small spaces. Whites, soft pastel blues and greys bounce around light to make rooms feel bigger. Lighter hues are particularly effective if your home is short on natural light or you have low ceilings.

A cosy aesthetic also works well for small kitchen designs. Warm timber floorboards and a Persian-style runner create a homely vibe that helps to make rooms look larger. Stacking appliances in cabinets or on shelves is another way to make the most of limited storage. This nifty trick keeps surfaces clear of clutter and tucks away frequently used items until they’re needed. This nifty hack also makes it easy to keep the toaster, kettle and coffee machine handy.

Open Shelves

A kitchen wood shelving that features a selection of items for display can add visual interest and encourage the eye to explore. This is especially useful in a small kitchen where it may not be possible to fit a full-sized cabinet.

When arranging the contents of open shelves, consider how often you use each item and how easy it would be to reach when cooking or cleaning. Grouping like items together, such as a collection of shot glasses from around the world, works well. Stacking plates and smaller platters atop larger ones also looks appealing. Stacking teacups and mugs or playing with the direction of arrangement can help keep the arrangement interesting.

Usually, it's best to choose open shelf colors that contrast with the background wall color. However, this can be a challenge in smaller kitchens, where the colors can overwhelm and overtake the space. In this compact Paddington kitchen, the rangehood and open shelves match the wall color to visually integrate the storage solution into the cooking zone.

Wow. This contemporary home in East Brisbane, Australia is stunning. If you're a fan of black & gold, you'll especially love it. The 5bd, 6ba home is listed for $8,256,874.

Can you imagine entering this home every day? It's incredible, isn't it? They do not show an actual photo of the sitting room. The photos are terrible.

They don't even show this wonderful marble fireplace in its entirety.

This is basically the only glimpse of a sitting area that we can see.

This sitting room opens to the patio, but they only photographed a corner of it.

Small bar for entertaining guests is outside the dining room.

The large dining room arches have beautiful gold wallpaper with flying geese. Whoever took the photos was going for the artsy angle, rather than showcasing the actual rooms.

Now, you may think that this is a bar, but it's actually one of those cleverly hidden kitchens.

If you look closely, you can see a burner and a sink, b/c we don't want no damned kitchen messin' up the sleek look.

The guest 1/2 bath has an interesting sink and whimsical fish wallpaper.

The center hall and marble spiral stairs that go up to the bedrooms.

I'm going to call this the primary bedroom. It has the very popular crane wallpaper, plus a sitting area with a fireplace and beautiful arched shelving.

This is the en-suite in black and gold. What an unusual sink cabinet.

There's also this lovely makeup vanity.

The closet appears to be inside the balcony that you see from the ground floor entrance.

This bedroom has a more moody or jewel tone look.

It has a smaller en-suite. All of the sink cabinets match, and this one is smaller with brown marble to match the wallpaper.

This bedroom suite has a larger bath with a sauna.

I've never seen a sauna that wasn't wood.

Lastly, there's a guest suite with a shower.

This home is on a 6,427 sq ft lot.

Please don't be too hard on me! This is the first thing I have written in years and I am a little rusty it seems! Also English isn't my first language so excuse any mistakes. Enjoy xxx

Lately, life had been a little stressful for you. You are in your last year of Uni trying to balace finals and your freelance job as a graphic designer. Despite your greatest efforts to hide your stress and growing frustration from your boyfriend, he seemed to sense that something was up.

Ross was away often, touring the world with his band. So over the last few months most of your communication has been through calls and facetime. You always tried to put on a happy face, even if you felt too overwhelmed by your workload at the moment and just wanted to cry. You didn't want Ross to worry about you. He was currently in Australia, on the other side of the globe living his dream.

You thought you were doing a good job at hiding it until one evening he called you mind breakdown, crying over a paper that you had to finish. The supportive boyfriend that he is, Ross stayed on the phone with you most of the night to comfort you. It was situations like these that made you miss him even more than you already do on a daily basis. He helped you calm down and you talked through all the things that were stressing you out at the moment to find ways to help you deal better with all the workload.

The next morning, the ringing of the doorbell woke you up. 11.30 am. You hadn't slept in that long in weeks. Even though you stayed up most of the night talking to Ross on the phone you felt refreshed and recharged this morning.

You made your way to the door to open it. First thing you saw was the biggest bouquet of flowers you had ever seen, behind it a very impatient delivery boy wanting to go on woth his day. You told him to put the flowers on the kitchen counter. On his way out you were handed a small envelope.

After inspecting the flowers for a moment you open the envelope:

You got this Darling xxx

I love you - Ross

With tears in your eyes you take a picture of the flowers and send it to Ross to thank him. You can't believe how you ended up with such an amazing boyfriend and you are already counting down the days until he comes home for a break in two months.

My Body and Me; a Love Story.

There was a time when I thought I would never write this post. The battle against my body seemed to be the one mountain I would never climb. I would go around in circles, coming up against the same obstacles; bingeing, emotional eating, restrictive dieting and hating what I saw when I looked in the mirror. I honestly thought it was something I would struggle with for the rest of my life. I think every woman knows this journey, some have walked the path before, others are waiting to begin - each of us up against years of conditioning, programming and subconscious messaging designed to keep us small (literally). This is the story of how I took my power back, went from self loathing to self love and healed my relationship with food and my body.

It’s Australia Day, 2008. My sister and I are riding our bikes around the small town we grew up in, jumping in and out of the crystal clear water wherever we can find the space. The path along the creek is teeming with families and kids our age walking around drinking UDL’s and cans of Smirnoff. Despite already being self conscious about my fifteen year old body, I’m feeling particularly brave wearing just a pair of shorts and my bikini top.

As we climb out of the water and mount our bikes to head home, a guy a few years older than me walks passed with his girlfriend. He looks me up and down and slurs, “Yeah, keep riding,” with a smirk on his face. His girlfriend slaps him playfully, looking back over her shoulder to mouth an apology, but it’s too late. My stomach drops, my world crumbles. Everything I ever feared about myself is true. I'm not attractive, I'm not desirable, I’m not worthy and I’m not enough.

I scroll pro-ana blogs and experiment to see how long I can go without food. I practice putting two fingers down my throat, trying to dredge up the shame I swallowed with that second chocolate brownie. I lament to my mother about the size and softness of my stomach, she shows me which ab exercises reduce belly fat.

My breasts grow almost overnight and suddenly I’m the subject of gossip and the butt of jokes. Relatives and strangers comment on my changing shape, as though my body is public domain to be deliberated. I learn that my body is not my own. I walk into the kitchen after dinner out with friends, “You can’t possibly still be hungry.” I learn that my bodies signals can’t be trusted.

I hold myself up against billboards and pictures on the internet and they all tell me one thing; shrink. Shrink and you will be beautiful, and before anything else, beautiful is what you should aspire to be. I stand in front of the mirror and pinch, suck, poke and prod. I squeeze a tape measure around every inch of skin, using the numbers to define how much I’m worth that week. I hide in the pantry, looking for something to fill me. My mind blanks as I reach for packets and jars, a brief reprieve before the guilt kicks in and I berate myself ceaselessly for a lack of self control.

I’m desperate to be noticed. I crave being seen. I take photos on my phone and send them to boys. When I’m drowning in a sea of insecurity, their shallow compliments keep me afloat.

I grew up believing that “big” was the worst thing a person could be. Worse than being mean, selfish or boring, it was the ultimate failure. The subconscious messaging I received was that being skinny was synonymous with being happy. That having the perfect body somehow made you immune to sadness or other negative emotions. Like, how bad could things possibly get if you looked amazing in a bikini? If you were thin then people paid attention to you; boys wanted to be with you and other girls wanted to be like you. To be thin, was to be beautiful - and to be beautiful was to be adored, cherished, loved. Life was an endless exodus away from fatness and toward thinness.

You can imagine the war that started internally when my e-cup boobs came in overnight. Dance costumes had to be altered, bras and bikinis had to be special ordered and I was constantly asking for a bigger size in change rooms. The changes in my body sparked a downward spiral in my self esteem. In my mind, with every kilo I gained I was becoming less important; my ideas less valid, personality less loveable and my dreams less achievable.

By the time I was sixteen, my body was a tool I used to validate my dwindling sense of self worth. I used it when it suited me, to get attention and validation from guys. The more I was willing to show of it and the more I was willing to do with it, the more approval I got. It made me feel powerful. I traded recognition for respect and mistook attention for love. The rest of the time I either berated it with criticism or ignored it completely.

For most of my teens and early twenties, I felt like a floating head walking around completely disconnected from my body. I didn’t identify as my body, it felt like an annoying attachment that kept betraying me by not doing what I wanted it to do or looking the way I wanted it to look. I hated how easily I could be brought down or carried away by the emotions that arose inside me; a wave of insecurity that would leave me hiding under the covers for days, a flash of anger that always left a wake of destruction in its path. It was too risky and far too painful living in my body, so I checked out. For almost a decade, I didn’t look down in the shower and I couldn’t touch my stomach without a wave of nausea flooding through me. I dreaded walking past mirrors or shop fronts and I used to yell at my mum for taking photos of me when I wasn’t looking.

By the time I left home at eighteen, it became apparent that in addition to my negative body image, I had also developed a pretty damaging relationship with food. Food was my anchor and my security blanket. When everything else in my life was uncertain, I could always count on the jar of peanut butter in the fridge. I would use food to suppress negative emotions; discomfort, anxiety, boredom. Even positive emotions - excitement, joy, happiness - were always accompanied by something to eat. It was as though I couldn’t bare to feel anything fully, so I sought a way to dull the experience.

I would spend hours researching different diets and exercise programs, getting confused and overwhelmed by the mass of conflicting information. Was yoghurt good for me, or bad? Should I be eating carbs with every meal or cut them out altogether? Should I be vegetarian, vegan, paleo or #sugarfree? Is running 5k’s burning fat or telling my body to hold on? I would walk around the grocery store with tears in my eyes, totally overwhelmed by all the choices and torn between what I wanted so desperately and what I thought I should be eating.

“Compulsive eating is basically a refusal to be fully alive. No matter what we weigh, those of us who are compulsive eaters have anorexia of the soul. We refuse to take in what sustains us. We live lives of deprivation, and when we can't stand it any longer, we binge.”

- Geneen Roth, Women, Food and God

Before I even knew what it was, bingeing was a regular part of my life. If had a bad day, a fight with my parents or an assignment due, bingeing offered an incredibly effective distraction. There was no thought or awareness, I would stand at the fridge and put whatever was on the shelf into my mouth. Because I refused to have anything unhealthy in the house, bingeing usually meant raiding my housemates cupboards for whatever had the highest sugar or fat content; four slices of toast with tablespoons of honey, two wraps, half a packet of biscuits and coconut oil straight from the jar. It wasn’t until after I had consumed the entire contents of my kitchen that the guilt kicked in. I felt totally helpless and completely out of control.

The promise of a diet is not only that you will have a different body; it is that in having a different body, you will have a different life. 

In 2013, I lost nine kilos leading up to my twenty first birthday. I was eating broccoli with chicken or tinned tuna for every almost meal and smashing myself in the gym 5-7 times a week. Everything in my life revolved around getting the numbers on the scale to drop. I kept a food diary on my phone and wrote down everything that passed my lips and at the end of the day I’d give myself a rating based on how ‘well’ I’d done. A smiley face meant it was a good day, an angry face meant I better try harder tomorrow.

I would measure and weigh myself in the morning and my mood for the entire day, and how I treated myself, depended on what I saw on the scale. I was obsessed with #fitspo blogs and instagram accounts and would spend hours drooling over photos of girls lifting weights or posing effortlessly in bikinis. I would deprive myself all week and have a ‘cheat day’ on the week end, which usually meant buying a block of chocolate on the way home from the gym and making myself sick by finishing off the whole thing in one sitting. A few weeks before my birthday I started taking OxyElite and would happily pop four a day - made me shake and pee constantly - completely ignoring the liver failure warning on the label.

But even when I was at my skinniest, my anxiety didn’t fade and I wasn’t any happier. I still had bad days and moments when I felt unworthy and insecure, and I was so preoccupied maintaining my new weight, I didn’t have time to focus on anything else or enjoy my life. As soon as my birthday was over and I didn’t have a goal to work towards, the weight came back and the battle raged on.

As I watched women my mums age berate themselves for eating an extra slice of cake, apologise for taking up too much space and obsess over their physical ‘flaws’, I started to think maybe this was just part of life as a woman. I hated the idea of passing my insecurities on to my future daughter, but I couldn’t see a way to break the cycle.

So I started working with coaches, and read and listened to every intuitive eating, eating psychology and body positive book, blog post and podcast I could get my hands on. There wasn’t one pivotal moment, but a series of small but deeply significant revelations that helped me improve my relationship with food and lead me back to my physical body…

1. I got angry.

When I discovered the extent to which mainstream media tries to keep us small - literally - as a form of disempowerment, I got angry. By making thinness the ideal and celebrating women who shrink, we get the message that we are not allowed to take up space, a subconscious belief that ingrains itself in our collective psyche. It’s the same belief that stops us from speaking up when we are being taken advantage of, it stops us demanding more from partners who mistreat us, and it stops us creating epic shit and sharing our unique gifts with the world.

As I continued pulling back the veil to expose the corporate agenda behind our BS beauty standards, it got easier to rally against my own inner critic because I knew they were both just trying to stop me wielding the full force of my power as a conscious woman. A woman confident in her own skin is no longer an obedient consumer, she no longer drains her time, energy and resources trying to “fix herself”. She shows up fully as her authentic self. She is a force to be reckoned with.

2. I focused on my strengths.

That insta-famous bikini model posting photos of herself looking toned and tanned in various exotic locations? Yes, she could have done a lot of editing/had surgery/spend thousands on a celebrity trainer, but you know what? Some girls really look like that - and that’s amazing! Go them! You have your own set of unique gifts and God-given talents that are exactly what you need to enact your purpose on this earth, and they might not have anything to do with how you look. Say it with me now, “I was not born to be an instagram model.” (Unless you were, then carry on your merry way). Being trapped in jealousy or comparison usually means we aren’t fully embracing our Genius. Ask yourself, ‘What am I really good at? What do I LOVE?’ then go do that.

BODY IMAGE CHALLENGE: Take a look at the people you follow on social media. Do they make you feel more confident, or less? If you feel ‘icky’ every time you scroll through instagram, it might be time to do a social media cleanse and get rid of any accounts that don’t inspire you to feel good about yourself.

3. I shifted my perspective from the external to the internal.

My journey this year has been letting go of the belief that people will only listen to what I have to say if they like the package it comes in. As women, we are taught from such a young age that beauty equals success, and for so long I was hung up on this idea that in order for my thoughts, opinions or ideas to be taken seriously, I would need to measure up to societies standards of beauty. That belief kept me from showing up fully in my business and in my life. Bullshit!

How many of us are held back from the work we are meant to do and the joy we are meant to experience because of our obsession with living up to someone else’s idea of beauty? How many of us delay happiness and postpone joy, waiting until after we’ve lost the weight or dropped a dress size, to be active participants in sucking the marrow out of our lives?  

These days, I’m focusing less on impressing people with my looks and more on empowering them with my energy. I realised I would so much rather invest my time cultivating compassion, sharpening my intellect and developing the kind of inner radiance that inspires people than forcing my body to take on a shape that isn’t natural for me.

I get that some people absolutely love pushing their body to see how far it can go, but when I think about how much effort it took to maintain my ‘goal weight’, I can honestly say - for me, and my standards - it’s just not worth it. As with anything in life, you have to ask yourself, do you want it because that’s the experience your Soul is longing to have, or because everyone tells you that’s what you should want? Is it your dream or someone else’s?

BODY IMAGE CHALLENGE: Start a creative project that you can work on in your spare time. It could be a collection of short stories, a sketch pad full of drawings or a line of your own handmade clutches. Passion projects are good for the soul and you never know where they might lead ;) 

4. I let go of my obsession with losing weight.

After nearly a decade of trying to get smaller, the thought of giving up scared the shit out of me. I clung to diets because they gave me a purpose, losing weight made me feel accomplished. It was easier to write a meal plan than it was to map out a plan for my future. And it was easier trying to change my body than it was to change the world.

I also thought that if I wasn’t following a strict eating and exercise ‘plan’, I would completely lose control and binge until I was the size of a house. And for a while, I did go a little crazy. I had to rebuild the trust between me and my body. I needed to prove that I was sticking to my word this time and I wasn’t going to deprive it any more.

But when I stopped labelling foods as ‘good’ and ‘bad’ and started giving myself unconditional permission to eat whatever I wanted, eating an entire block of chocolate lost its appeal. I could have it, so I didn’t want it. If I did end up over eating, I quickly forgave myself and moved on. No judgement, criticism or shame, just unconditional acceptance. I quickly learnt that most of the time I didn’t actually want the chocolate, I wanted the way it made me feel; worthy, deserving, full.

Instead of using food to suppress my emotions, I wanted to tap into my bodies natural wisdom. I started by opening up the lines of communication. I wrote her letters in my journal, apologising for all the times I had ignored her, made her sick and used her to satisfy my ego desires. I promised to take care of her, trust her and always ask her what she needed. I spoke to her like I would my best friend or little sister. Much to my delight, she started talking back.

I’m sorry.

I know.

I love you.

I love you too.

Today, my relationship with my body feels like rekindling a romance with a long lost lover; we’re both still marvelling at all the things we can do together, getting excited about what this means for our future and falling more in love with each other every day. Like any great relationship, ours is based on trust, communication and mutual respect. I speak kind words to my body, I don’t make her do things she doesn’t want to do, and I trust that she knows what she needs in any given moment. Sometimes that means making a big fat pasta dish, sometimes it means stopping when there’s still food left on the plate. I still apologise if I drink too much wine and wake up with a hangover. She forgives me and we go and do something to make us feel amazing again.

Exercise doesn’t feel like a chore, it’s a way to expend all the beautiful energy that runs through my body. I don’t slog it out at the gym to burn calories or punish myself for overeating, I move in ways that feel good. Lifting weights makes me feel powerful, dancing makes me feel sexy as hell. My body is an incredible vehicle I have been given to fully engage in this earthly experience, and I love it regardless of its shape or size.

I know this is an ongoing process - as my body changes, I will need to continue practicing self love and some times are going to be harder than others, but never again will I let insecurity hold me back (for too long). 

The beauty standards set by society will continue to change, but I reserve the right to decide what’s beautiful to me, and my definition of beauty is all encompassing - there is room for everyone. I am so excited to see - in our lifetime - a generation of women liberated from the shackles of self loathing, free to share their unique gifts with the world and I am so grateful for the women before me who have publicly embraced their bodies at every size.

Wherever you are on the journey, may these words guide your way home.

Do not be afraid to take up space. Consciously expand until your presence rivals galaxies. Should your body say anything about Who You Are, let it say nothing of willpower or self-control, let it tell the story of your curiosity, your bravery, your compassion. Should you seek to be less of anything, may you be less worried about making yourself look acceptable.

May the only picture of your progress be the feeling of expansion in your Spirit. When you go looking for validation or your sense of Self, may you go only to the Source of all Love that lives inside of you. 

May you appreciate your body as the temporary home your soul chose to inhabit. May you honor her sovereignty and listen to her wisdom. May you praise her in public and pleasure her in private.

When you look at your body may you see our mother earth incarnate; in every crevice and fault line, in the veins that run like rivers, in all the mountains and valleys that ripple across your skin. 

And when the time comes for you to leave, may it be with gratitude as the veil is lifted and the joy of returning to the infinite oneness from which you came... can no longer be contained.

How Rubber Door Seals Keep the Noise & Weather Out: Your Home’s Silent Guardian

When it comes to home improvements, some upgrades steal the spotlight—think sleek kitchen countertops or dazzling light fixtures. But let’s shine the light on an unsung hero of comfort and efficiency: rubber door seals. These small, often-overlooked strips of rubber might not scream glamour, but they are game-changers in creating a peaceful, weatherproof sanctuary.

Rubber door seals act as a protective barrier, keeping noise, drafts, and harsh weather conditions at bay. Imagine the serenity of a home where outside commotion stays exactly where it belongs—outside. Intrigued? Let’s delve into the magic of rubber door seals and why Ambassador Industrial should be your go-to source for these indispensable solutions.

Rubber door seals excel at blocking noise. Their dense, flexible material absorbs and dampens sound waves, acting like a soundproofing ninja.

What’s more, these seals are incredibly cost-effective. A one-time investment can lead to significant savings on heating and cooling bills, not to mention fewer repairs caused by water damage or pests.

One size does not fit all, especially when it comes to door seals. Ambassador Industrial understands this, offering a variety of seals to suit every need:

Weatherstripping Seals: Perfect for doors exposed to harsh weather. These seals create a tight barrier against rain, wind, and extreme temperatures.

Acoustic Seals: Ideal for soundproofing applications. Use them in bedrooms, offices, or any space where quiet is golden.

Threshold Seals: Designed for the base of doors, these seals block drafts and pests.

Adhesive Backed Seals: Quick and easy to install, these are perfect for DIY enthusiasts.

Ambassador Industrial’s wide range ensures that no matter your requirements, there’s a perfect rubber door seal waiting for you.

Easy Installation and Low Maintenance

Another reason to love rubber door seals? They’re incredibly easy to install and maintain. With minimal tools and effort, you can fit them to your doors and start enjoying the benefits immediately.

Why Knock Down Rebuild Is the Smart Choice for Homeowners in Sydney

Sydney is one of the most vibrant and fast-growing cities in Australia. With rising property prices and a highly competitive housing market, homeowners are continuously seeking innovative ways to maximise their properties’ potential. One of the most appealing options is Knock Down Rebuild – a smart, cost-effective choice that allows homeowners to create their dream homes without the need to leave their current location.

In this blog, we’ll explore why Knock Down Rebuild is becoming an increasingly popular option for homeowners in Sydney and why it might just be the perfect solution for you.

1. Create Your Dream Home from Scratch

One of the most significant advantages of opting for a Knock Down Rebuild is the opportunity to design your home exactly the way you want it. Unlike renovations, which often require you to work within the existing structure, a Knock Down Rebuild allows you to start fresh. You have the freedom to choose your floor plan, materials, finishes, and even layout.

If your current home feels outdated, cramped, or no longer suits your lifestyle, rebuilding gives you the chance to create a modern, spacious, and functional living environment that perfectly matches your needs. Whether you're dreaming of a larger kitchen, a stylish master suite, or an open-plan living area, a Knock Down Rebuild Sydney gives you complete control.

2. Save on Renovation Costs

While it may initially seem like a Knock Down Rebuild is a more expensive option than renovating, in many cases, it can actually be more cost-effective. Renovations often involve hidden costs, such as structural repairs or the need to update plumbing and wiring to meet modern standards. On the other hand, Knock Down Rebuild Homes allow you to build a new house with the latest materials, energy-efficient systems, and technologies, which can save you money in the long run.

Additionally, when you renovate, you may run into complications that extend the timeline and increase costs. Rebuilding from the ground up eliminates many of these uncertainties and provides greater budget control. With a Knockdown Rebuild project, you’ll have a clearer understanding of the final cost and timeframe, making it easier to manage.

3. Increase Property Value

A Knock Down Rebuild can significantly increase the value of your property, especially in a market like Sydney, where demand for modern homes is high. A newly built home with contemporary design, energy-efficient features, and high-quality finishes can attract buyers willing to pay top dollar.

Unlike older homes, which may have issues such as outdated infrastructure or insufficient space, a newly built home meets current standards and expectations, making it much more desirable to potential buyers. In areas like Sydney, where land is limited and valuable, Knockdown Rebuild Homes are seen as a way to capitalise on the land’s potential and create a modern living space.

If you’re planning to sell in the future, rebuilding your home could yield a much higher return on investment than simply renovating.

4. Maximise Your Land’s Potential

Sydney’s property market is notoriously competitive, with limited land available for purchase. If you already own a property in a prime location, the best way to maximise its potential is by Knocking Down and Rebuilding. This is particularly beneficial if your current home is small or poorly laid out.

By rebuilding, you can utilise the full size of your block, creating additional living space or even multiple storeys. A Knock Down Rebuild Sydney allows you to maximise the space on your land without the constraints of an existing structure. This means you can take full advantage of your location and turn your home into something truly special.

5. Enjoy Modern, Energy-Efficient Features

Older homes often come with inefficiencies, such as poor insulation, outdated windows, and less-than-optimal heating and cooling systems. By opting for a Knock Down Rebuild, you can incorporate the latest energy-efficient technologies and environmentally friendly building materials into your new home.

For example, modern homes often feature double-glazed windows, better insulation, solar panels, and energy-efficient appliances. These features can significantly reduce your energy bills, making your new home more affordable to run and more sustainable in the long term. A Knockdown Rebuild is an excellent opportunity to future-proof your home with green building practices and modern conveniences.

6. Avoid the Hassle of Renovations

Renovating an existing home can be a long and stressful process. Whether you’re living in the house during the work or trying to manage multiple contractors, it can quickly become overwhelming. A Knock Down Rebuild provides a clean slate, with a clear timeline and structure in place from the outset.

When you choose a Knock Down Rebuild, you can plan the entire process from demolition to completion, with minimal disruption to your daily life. You’ll work with experienced Knock Down Rebuild Sydney builders who can guide you through the process and ensure everything runs smoothly.

7. Stay in Your Preferred Location

One of the main advantages of a Knock Down Rebuild is that it allows you to stay in your current location, especially if you love your neighbourhood and don’t want to move. Moving to a new home in Sydney can be expensive and stressful, especially if it means leaving behind friends, family, and familiar surroundings.

A Knock Down and Rebuild project allows you to keep the benefits of your location—whether it’s the proximity to work, schools, parks, or public transport—while upgrading your living space to suit your current needs. You won’t have to go through the hassle of searching for a new home or adapting to a new area.

A compact fridge that keeps drinks cold without taking up too much space helps Australians maintain comfort and convenience, especially when temperatures soar.

Energy Efficiency and Environmental Benefits

Thanks to Woxylady for sending this unusually beautiful home in Cooks Hill, NSW, Australia. It's called "The Stables," and has been renovated to combine heritage features with modern design. 3bds, 2ba, $2.75M.

When you enter, if you leave the doors open at the end of the hall, you can see right into the backyard patio. Do you love the columns and brick wall?

A spacious open concept living/dining room is to the right. There's something about paper lanterns, too. They're so much nicer than, say, an ugly light fixture.

Love the fireplace mantle.

Beyond the living/dining space is a family room/kitchen combo that also opens to the patio.

The kitchen is so sleek in black with a black tile backsplash and brass handles. Love how the window over the sink ties in.

Also on the ground floor is a cozy TV room.

Plus, this beautiful black & white shower room.

Original stairs go up to the 2nd level.

A small sitting room opens to a beautiful deck.

Spacious primary bedroom has a fireplace. It's also open to the sitting area and back deck.

The 2nd bd. has a fireplace and opens to the terrace in front of the home.

I can't unsee that this bath looks like a goofy face, though.

The 3rd bd. is also lovely and has a dressing room.

The upper deck is beautiful and private.

The back patio with the living area open and the deck above.

A gate opens to an alley that was an original cobblestone street.

How Many Ounces in a Shot Glass? A Guide to Shot Glass Measurements

Shot glasses are a staple in bars, sports pubs, and home kitchens. These small but essential tools help measure liquor accurately, ensuring every cocktail or shot of liquor is balanced and delicious. But how many ounces in a shot glass? Let’s dive into the details of shot glass measurements and explore their variations across the globe.

What Is a Shot Glass?

A shot glass is a small glass used primarily for measuring or serving liquor in a single serving. It’s a versatile tool, often used in bars and at home, to ensure consistent drink measurements. Shot glasses come in various sizes and designs, depending on their intended use and regional preferences.

How Many Ounces in a Standard Shot Glass?

In the United States, a standard shot glass typically holds 1.5 ounces of liquor. This measurement is widely used in bars and sports pubs to serve straight shots or measure liquor for cocktails. However, it’s important to note that not all shot glasses are standardized, and their capacity can vary significantly.

How Many Ounces Are in a Shot Around the World?

Shot sizes differ across countries, and so do shot glass measurements. Here’s a quick look at the variations:

United States: 1.5 ounces

United Kingdom: 0.84 ounces (25 milliliters)

Germany: 0.67 ounces (20 milliliters)

Australia: 1 ounce (30 milliliters)

Japan: 2.02 ounces (60 milliliters)

Understanding these differences is crucial if you’re mixing drinks using international recipes or enjoying beverages at bars abroad.

Different Types of Shot Glasses

Shot glasses come in various shapes and sizes, each designed for specific purposes. Let’s explore the most common types:

Standard Shot Glass: Holds 1.5 ounces, commonly used in the U.S.

Double Shot Glass: Typically holds 3 ounces, ideal for larger servings or stronger drinks.

Wine Shot Glass: Holds around 2 ounces, perfect for small wine tastings.

Tall Shot Glass: Often used for layered shots, with a capacity of 2 to 3 ounces.

Novelty Shot Glass: Decorative and often used for fun, these can vary widely in size.

How Many Ounces in a Shot of Liquor?

The amount of liquor in a shot depends on the type of shot glass being used. A standard shot of liquor in the U.S. contains 1.5 ounces, but in other countries, it can be as small as 0.67 ounces or as large as 2 ounces. Knowing the exact measurement helps maintain consistency in your cocktails and prevents overpouring.

Why Accurate Measurements Matter in Cocktails

Precision is key when mixing cocktails. Using the wrong shot glass size can throw off the balance of flavors, resulting in a drink that’s too strong or too weak. Professional bartenders rely on accurate shot glass measurements to deliver consistent and well-balanced drinks to their customers. Even at home, having the right tools ensures that every alcoholic beverage is crafted to perfection.

Measuring Shots Without a Shot Glass

If you don’t have a shot glass on hand, there are other ways to measure your liquor. For instance, one tablespoon equals approximately 0.5 ounces, so three tablespoons can substitute for a standard 1.5-ounce shot. A liquid measuring cup with ounce markings can also be used to measure liquor accurately.

Shot Glasses and Wine Tastings

While shot glasses are most commonly associated with liquor, they’re also used for wine tastings. A wine shot glass (https://www.restaurantsupply.com/libbey-5126-2-oz-fluted-whiskey-shot-glass), holding around 2 ounces, allows wine enthusiasts to sample different varieties without overindulging. This practice is especially popular at wine festivals and vineyards, where small pours help tasters explore a range of flavors.

The Role of Shot Glasses in Bars and Sports Pubs

In bars and sports pubs, shot glasses are indispensable. They’re used for serving shots, measuring liquor for cocktails, and even for drinking games. Shot glasses help bartenders maintain consistency and speed during busy nights, ensuring that every customer gets the perfect pour.

Choosing the Right Shot Glass for Your Needs

Selecting the right shot glass depends on how you plan to use it. For standard cocktails, a 1.5-ounce shot glass is ideal. If you’re experimenting with layered shots or serving larger drinks, consider a tall or double shot glass. For wine tastings, a wine shot glass offers the perfect balance between capacity and sophistication.

Understanding Shot Glass Measurements

Knowing how many ounces in a shot glass is essential for crafting great cocktails, managing liquor consumption, and enhancing your overall drinking experience. Whether you’re using a standard shot glass, a wine shot glass, or an international variation, understanding these measurements ensures consistency and precision in every pour. Next time someone asks, “How many ounces are in a shot?” you’ll be equipped with the knowledge to answer confidently and mix like a pro.

Custom Home Extensions for Perth’s Beachside Properties

Image source: pexels

Australia boasts beautiful scenery that makes its beaches ideal homes for those who prefer a coastal lifestyle. From nice views to outdoor activities, many people are relocating to the beachside. However, the houses they’re moving into might not fit all their needs, so they address these through custom home extensions.

These tailored designs can maximise views, natural light, and functionality. To learn more about the perks of these bespoke additions, continue reading the article below!

Why Custom Home Extensions are Ideal for Beachside Houses

While there are many beautiful homes along the shore, they may not exactly meet your needs and preferences. Fortunately, contractors are equipped with the knowledge and skills to create custom extensions for your home. Check out how you can improve your beach house below.

Understanding Beachside Property Challenges and Opportunities

While living near the water has nice views and access to nature’s wonders, you should factor in its environmental considerations. Issues like salty air, strong winds, and potential flooding can be addressed through tailored extensions.

When living the coastal dream, it’s very important to keep in mind the zoning regulations. Fortunately, working with a reputable builder or contractor can help you smoothly complete the process.

On the other hand, these additions can also incorporate expansive windows, balconies, or rooftop decks. This allows you to capitalise on your coastal vistas and regularly see Perth’s ocean wildlife.

You could also ask your contractor about a sunroom sanctuary to maximise the breathtaking views. Since Perth's winters can be chilly, a sunroom can be an ideal way to get the best of both worlds.

Aside from the sunroom, homeowners with small children can also add an outdoor entertainment deck. This could be a space where families can bond outside and enjoy their beachside property.

Key Features for Beachside Extensions

Home extensions don’t necessarily have to be indoor areas, you can also maximise the wide outdoor space. You can talk to your builder about alfresco dining areas, patios, or garden terraces.

Moreover, you can also ask your contractors how to connect the indoor-outdoor spaces seamlessly. Their knowledge in the field boasts expertise in blending two completely different areas into one in a functional manner.

On the topic of materials, it’s also essential to raise the concern of choosing ones that are resistant to corrosion and wear. Your builders may suggest investing in materials like treated timber, stainless steel, and weatherproof paints.

In these properties, it’s critical to focus on natural light and ventilation. You can focus on integrating features like skylights, large glass doors, and open layouts. These elements help enhance overall airflow and brightness in the household, making it a better residence for your family.

Design Ideas for Beachside Lifestyles

The advantage of working for home builders for extensions is their expertise on the ideal designs for your lifestyle. While collaborating with professionals, you can explore different options like outdoor kitchens, fire pits, or poolside lounges. These spaces will be ideal for those who love hosting and entertaining guests.

Moreover, your new beach house can have fewer bedrooms than you need. It’s a good thing that custom home extensions can also address this matter. More importantly, this can be completed in an efficient manner that doesn’t compromise the functionality of the other spaces.

You can also add private retreat areas, such as ocean-facing master suites or meditation rooms. For busy and big families, this can be the perfect quiet area after a long and tiring day of working and taking care of the kids.

Since you live near the beach, it’s vital to have a dedicated storage space for your beach gear. Talk to your builder about adding space for your surfboards, outdoor furniture, bicycles, and other activity items.

Partnering with the Right Builders

When it comes to residential investments, it’s important to partner with the right professionals to make the most out of it. Hiring contractors with sufficient industry experience is paramount to creating the best possible home for your family.

Since beachside properties already tend to cost a lot, you might have doubts about tailoring it to your needs and preferences. To guide you, here are a few reasons why home improvement projects are worth the investment:

Increase in property value

Enhanced livability

Long-term money savings

Emotional and lifestyle benefits

Long-term financial and emotional stability

Budgeting and Planning for Beachside Extensions

Now that we’ve tackled the custom home extension ideas for your coastal home, we’re now on to the practical aspect. When it involves changes to a home, finances are often involved, so proper budgeting and planning are needed, especially if you’re thinking about significant changes.

You should estimate the costs of materials, labour, and permits for coastal extensions. In addition, you should also factor in the long-term maintenance needs of a beach house. Since your home is exposed to numerous elements, ongoing upkeep is non-negotiable to maintain the house’s integrity.

Fortunately, several builders offer financing options to make your dream beachside additions happen.

Transform Beachside Living with Mista Reno

If you want to redesign your beach house to fit your family’s needs and preferences, here are a few commonly asked questions you might have.

How much does an extension cost in Perth?

The total cost of adding to your home in Perth depends on its size and scale. However, some require extravagant extensions that may reach up to hundreds of thousands of dollars.

How much does it cost to have plans drawn up for an extension?

This usually depends on the service provider. However, some charge 5-10% of the total project cost. On the other hand, some businesses like Mista Reno offer a free, no-obligation quote.
