Bungalow home ideas for the perfect retreat

Bungalows are a popular NZ home style known for their Arts & Crafts feel and comfort. A common variation is the California bungalow, which is often one-and-a-half storeys.

Their simple layouts and generous sections make them ideal for renovation. Key considerations include improving thermal efficiency due to poor original orientation for sun and lack of insulation. Kitchen remodels are relatively straightforward, and character features are easily sourced, making bungalows an enjoyable and rewarding character home choice.
