Universal Media Co would also like to thank our valued partners: Big Ass Fans, Crossray BBQ, Heatstrip, Embelton, Jindara & Eureka Woodheating and Porta Mouldings.
About Home Design Renovation of the Year
At Home Design we love seeing our readers’ renovations and we love to inspire others to get out and do their own. Our mission as a publication is to inspire all homeowners who are thinking of a decoration, renovation or build project to learn what is available and become confident as consumers.
We showcase all kinds of renovations in the magazine and decided it was time to give our loyal renovator readers an opportunity to show their projects. The standard was high and ranged from simple kitchen and bathroom projects to full home renovations. This competition was designed for the homeowner. While many competitions reward the professionals who are often involved in renovation projects, it is the leap of faith of the homeowner that gets things started.
