Smarter Places

Smarter Places was founded by Adrian and Cornelia, who have been actively involved in buying, renovating, and selling properties in Richmond and Kingston since 2004. Cornelia brings a background in interior design, while Adrian leverages his IT and project management expertise, honed through extensive DIY renovation experience. After years of mastering the art of identifying promising properties, refurbishing them cost-effectively, and achieving profitable sales, they decided to share their accumulated knowledge and skills.

Smarter Places was born from this desire to provide impartial advice to property owners, focusing on enhancing home appearance for sale or simply for personal enjoyment, all while adhering to a limited budget. They firmly believe that significant home improvements don't require a large budget. Often, strategic rearrangement of existing furniture, decluttering, smart lighting choices, and a fresh coat of paint can dramatically transform a space.

For those needing more space, extensions can be considered, always balanced against the occupants' needs and available budget. By offering objective advice and helping clients visualize the impact of proposed changes, Cornelia and Adrian are dedicated to achieving remarkable results for homeowners.
