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.

When 10x Interiors Is the Right Choice


For clients seeking a higher level of design involvement, 10x Interiors steps in as a design partner.


10x Interiors provides:

  • Architectural design services

  • High-end interior design and spatial planning

  • Custom joinery, detailing, and material specifications

  • A design-led approach for bespoke or premium renovation outcomes


This pathway is suited to:

  • High-end residential renovations

  • Custom homes and major extensions

  • Clients wanting a fully tailored design outcome

  • Projects where architectural input adds long-term value


How the Partnership Works


The process is simple and transparent:

  • Standard renovation projects→ Managed and designed by Smarter Renovations with free standard design support

  • High-end or custom design projects→ Smarter Renovations delivers construction→ 10x Interiors provides architectural and interior design services


Both teams collaborate closely to ensure:

  • Design intent is buildable

  • Costs are clearly managed

  • Construction quality aligns with the approved design


Clear Roles, Better Outcomes


This partnership ensures there is no overlap or confusion:

  • Smarter Renovations remains your renovation and extension builder

  • 10x Interiors becomes your architectural and interior design specialist (when required)


Clients benefit from:

  • Clear scope and responsibilities

  • Better design-to-build coordination

  • A smoother renovation experience from concept to completion


Choosing the Right Path for Your Project


Not every project needs architectural design—but when it does, having the right specialist involved at the right time makes all the difference.


Whether you’re:

  • Planning a practical renovation with standard finishes, or

  • Seeking a custom, high-end design outcome


Smarter Renovations can guide you toward the right solution for your home.


Looking Ahead to 2026


From 2026 onwards, this partnership allows Smarter Renovations and 10x Interiors to:

  • Deliver better outcomes for a wider range of clients

  • Maintain quality, clarity, and professionalism across all projects

  • Support both practical renovations and design-led builds under one aligned process
