Summer is coming! Installing alfresco sliding door

Summer is coming! Installing alfresco sliding doors is a great way to bring the outdoors in, just in time for those warmer months. To create this impact for our clients in Mascot, we reconfigured their footprint and flipped their old layout, to design an open plan kitchen and living area that were connected to the backyard.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

We understand how hard it can be for clients to visualise a space with just 2D plans. Each design we produce comes with 3D renders so you can see your project come to life!

We love the finished result of our kitchen design

We love the finished result of our kitchen design in Lilli Pilli. Featuring the Carrara Goia benchtop by Talostone and a subway tile splashback, its no wonder this stunning kitchen has so much appeal! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

To celebrate our new company name and help put food on the table during these challenging times, we’ve decided to launch a lockdown referral offer!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Refer a friend to Improva and receive a $500 grocery voucher for either Woolworths or Coles. The referred person must go ahead with their renovation. This lockdown offer will end on the 31st of December 2021 so make sure you refer in time!

Our clients in Wareemba wanted to create a contemporary kitchen to enjoy with their friends and family. We used Quantum Quartz in the colour Michelangelo Quartz to achieve this cohesive scheme. To see more about the Markakis Project and our many other designs check out our Houzz page, link in bio!

Blakes Of Sydney Is Rebranding
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
You voted, we listened. Blakes Of Sydney is rebranding to IMPROVA. Thank you to everyone that took the time to help us reach this decision.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
IMPROVA is a derivative of the word Ompröva, which is the Swedish word for Rethink. After years of working in the renovation game and hearing horror story after horror story, Blake rethought the way to renovate and came up with a unique model that makes renovating effortless.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
IMPROVA looks like the word Improve, which is what Renovating is all about, and by pronouncing it IM-PRO-VA, we are emphasizing that we are pro’s in what we do.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
As much as Blake has secretly loved seeing his name on every email, paperwork and signage, it was time to let it go and embark on a bigger and bolder new chapter for his expanding company.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
As of 14th September, www.blakesofsydney.com.au will redirect to www.improva.com.au and our social media handles will change to:

Houzz: houzz.com.au/pro/improva

We have also been busy working behind the scenes to streamline all of our processes and are now excited to be able to offer our clients an interior design package with their renovation.

SWIPE TO SEE THE BEFORE ➝
This kitchen in Surry Hills got a MAJOR contemporary update! Our clients needed increased storage and improved functionality. We implemented this by creating a large buffet benchtop, moving appliances and adding more usable storage space. This @caesarstoneau benchtop in Rugged Concrete becomes the finishing touch of this sleek kitchen.

A standout appliance can make all the difference in your kitchen design. Our clients opted for this stunning Falcon Classic Cooker in the colour Cranberry for their home in Lilli Pilli. This vibrant cooker in combination with Talostone’s Carrara Goia benchtop and hand painted joinery create the perfect balance of contemporary and classic design.

Our clients in Alexandria engaged our services to renovate their three bedroom terrace house. Our goal was to create an open plan space with more natural light in the space. We created a galley style kitchen that directs your view to the light filled lounge and backyard. This timeless modern scheme is embodied through the white herringbone splashback, navy blue cabinetry and gold tapware.

TREND ALERT: Don’t be afraid to use colour in your kitchen! Use subtle pops of colour in combination with neutral tones such as whites, wood finishes and black to create a stunning design feature within your home.

We utilised Laminex Spinifex for the cabinetry in this Zetland project to create a bright and airy kitchen that will remain timeless.
