$15,000 to upgrade your new home:
where would you spend it?
28 September 2026 | L.V.D GROUP
Building a new home gives you the opportunity to create a space that feels uniquely yours, from the kitchen finishes and appliances to the flooring, bathrooms and finer details.
But when you have a set upgrade budget, where should you spend it?
With L.V.D GROUP’s ‘Spring Into Your New Home – $15K Dream Home Upgrade‘, eligible customers can put $15,000 towards eligible upgrades when they sign a new home building contract between 15 September and 30 November 2026.*
So, what could you do with $15,000?
1 / Upgrade Your Kitchen
The kitchen is one of the most used spaces in the home, making it a popular place to invest in upgrades.
Depending on your selections, your upgrade budget could go towards premium finishes, upgraded appliances, benchtops, tapware, cabinetry or other eligible kitchen selections.
A few considered upgrades can completely change the look and feel of your kitchen, while also making it more functional for everyday life.
2 / Elevate Your Stone
Benchtops can have a major impact on the overall appearance of a kitchen.
Upgrading your stone selection can introduce a more premium finish, create a stronger focal point and complement the cabinetry, splashback and flooring throughout the space.
If the kitchen is the heart of your home, your benchtop is one detail worth considering carefully.
3 / Invest in Appliances
Your appliances are another area where an upgrade can make a noticeable difference.
Consider where you spend the most time and which appliances you’ll use every day. Depending on your selections, your upgrade budget could help you choose premium appliances that combine functionality with a more refined finish.
Think ovens, cooktops, rangehoods, dishwashers and refrigeration.
4 / Upgrade Your Flooring
Flooring sets the foundation for the look and feel of your home.
Upgrading your flooring can help create a more cohesive and elevated interior, particularly when your flooring works with your cabinetry, walls, joinery and furniture.
It’s also something you’ll experience throughout your home every day, making it an upgrade worth considering as part of your overall selections.
5 / Elevate Your Bathrooms
Your bathrooms don’t have to be overlooked when planning your upgrade budget.
Depending on your home’s design and eligible selections, you could consider upgrading finishes, fixtures, tapware, vanities or other bathroom details.
Small changes can have a significant impact when they’re carefully selected and carried consistently throughout the space.
6 / Upgrade Your Lighting
Lighting can completely change how a home feels.
Consider how you want each room to function and how different lighting options could enhance the space.
Feature lighting, additional lighting points and upgraded fittings can help create a more considered atmosphere throughout your home.
Often overlooked, lighting can make a big difference to your home’s feel and ambience.
7 / Enhance Your Finishing Touches
The details are what bring a home together.
Tapware, handles, fixtures, fittings and other eligible selections can help personalise your home and create a more cohesive design.
Rather than choosing every upgrade individually, consider how your selections work together as a whole.
So, Where Should You Spend Your $15,000?
There’s no single right answer.
The best use of an upgrade budget depends on how you live, what matters most to you and where you want to add the most value to your everyday experience.
You might choose to put the majority of your budget into the kitchen.
Or you might spread it across the kitchen, bathrooms, flooring and lighting to create a more consistent upgrade throughout the home.
The key is to prioritise the areas you’ll use and enjoy the most.
