From 2026, Smarter Renovations and 10x Interiors will be working in partnership to better support homeowners seeking high-end or fully customized design outcomes as part of their renovation or extension project.
This partnership is designed to give clients more choice, greater clarity, and access to specialist design expertise—while keeping the renovation process streamlined and well-managed. This approach reflects a growing demand for design led renovations in Melbourne, where thoughtful planning and specialist design input are integrated into the renovation process.
Design Led Renovations Melbourne: Why This Partnership Was Created
Over the years, Smarter Renovations has delivered a wide range of successful renovation and extension projects across Melbourne. Many clients are comfortable with standard renovation layouts and finishes, while others are seeking a more bespoke, design-led outcome.
This partnership recognizes that:
Not every renovation requires architectural-level design
Some projects benefit from a dedicated design studio and deeper detailing
Clients should be able to choose the level of design service that suits their goals and budget
By working with 10x Interiors, Smarter Renovations can now support both pathways clearly and professionally.
What Smarter Renovations Provides
Smarter Renovations continues to offer:
Free standard design support for renovation projects
Practical layout planning and functional design guidance
Finish and material selection support suitable for most homes
End-to-end project management and construction delivery
This standard design service is ideal for:
Kitchen, bathroom, and home renovations
Layout improvements and open-plan upgrades
Clients who want a clean, modern result without custom architectural detailing
Smarter Renovations does not provide architectural design services. Instead, the focus remains on buildability, clarity, and quality delivery.
