Thinking about building or renovating your home?
Before you dive into floor plans and finishes, there are some key decisions that can completely change how your project plays out.

In this Brisbane project, a professional couple wanted to elevate their newly renovated ground floor into a space dedicated to their growing children—without compromising the home’s overall sophistication. With a $50K budget and a clear vision for a space that could balance play, study, and relaxation, we created a fully furnished kids’ retreat that’s as durable as it is refined. The result? A multifunctional, high-style sanctuary that grows with the family.

This Brisbane home transformation took a tired post-war property and reimagined it into a light-filled, market-ready space with timeless appeal. From soft, tactile finishes to calm, cohesive interiors—every detail was chosen with purpose.

At Polina Radchenko Interiors, design is never just about how a space looks—it’s about how it feels, functions, and supports the people who live in it. In this personal welcome, Polina shares her thoughtful, people-first approach to interior design, what it’s like to work with her studio, and why purposeful design creates spaces that truly feel like home.

As property professionals, we have all seen it—clients stepping into a space full of potential, only to be distracted by outdated finishes or unable to visualise how it could ever feel like home.

Empty or tired interiors often leave too much to the imagination, creating a significant vision gap for prospective buyers. This guide offers practical strategies to bridge that gap—helping your clients see the possibilities, recognise a home's true potential, and envision how it can be transformed into a beautifully considered space that better suits their lifestyle.
