We want you to feel at home in your Service Family Accommodation (SFA) and understand how important it is to be able to personalise your space.
We’re committed to modernising our policies to allow more freedoms for you to make improvements to your home, giving you a greater sense of pride in your homes. As part of this we’re also streamlining processes to make it easier for you to do things like own pets and run businesses from your SFA.
We support the use of enhancements that can make your home feel more comfortable and reflective of your personal style.
For temporary enhancements, families will not need to submit forms or seek approval to carry these out as they will be able to be removed prior to moving out.
For permanent enhancements, families need to request these via a simple form on the Pinnacle website.
Read the article in full on the DIO website to find out more about enhancements you can make to your military home, be inspired by real life SFA examples and learn about a few boundaries in place to ensure any enhancements are done so safely.
Zoe, a military spouse living in North Devon, transformed her SFA interior to reflect her family’s personal style. Zoe wrapped her kitchen cabinets in vinyl, completely transforming the room. She made other temporary enhancements to her home including installing a temporary wall divider, adding removable picture rails and using shelving in her bathroom that sticks to the tiles. Zoe’s home is a great example of how simple changes can make a big impact.
