Since real estate prices are high in Singapore, many families in Singapore are living in condominiums or condos. Like any space where people have lived for some time, the condo will show signs of wear and tear. There will be stains, scratches on the flooring, the walls may be dirty, taps may be leaking. A home renovation is the best way, to fix all the existing problems, redesign the house to make it look new. Hence the condo owner is looking for a creative interior design firm like Darwin Interior who will provide condo renovation ideas to utilize the space effectively and give the condo a new look.
Requirement
The condo renovation will depend to a large extent on the budget and requirement of the condo owner. So before contacting the interior designers the condo owner should finalize his plans for the condo, the features he wants in the condo after consulting the other family members. In some cases, the homeowner may want additional storage space in the house or a specific type of furniture. He may want more free space in the living room so that it is easier to exercise indoors if required. Additionally, he should also make a list of items that have to be repaired in the house. In some cases, the flooring should also be changed.
Discussion
After this, the condo owner should discuss his requirement with the interior designer assigned to his project while specifying his budget and the time frame in which he wishes to get the work completed. If the homeowner has a very limited budget, the interior designer who is aware of the cost of doing the home renovation work will indicate the features which can be included in the funds available. The interior designer will also give ideas for the home, discuss the different options available, the advantages of each option, show photos of condo renovations he has completed recently to the condo owner.
Initial design
After the condo owner has reviewed the different ideas for home renovation, he will select a particular idea which matches his requirement well. Based on this idea, the interior designer will complete the initial design of the condo. Usually, the designer will choose a theme for condo renovation, and each room of the condo will be designed to match the theme. The design will usually include repainting of the rooms, changes in the furniture and layout of the room. Additionally, in some cases, the flooring, hardware fixtures may also be changed, and the bathroom may be renovated to change the tiles, plumbing fixtures.
Approval
After the design is finalized, the interior designer will submit the condo renovation plan to the condo owner for approval. In addition to the design, the plan will also include the costs involved and the time frame for completing the renovation. Usually, an itemized list of the expenses will be provided, so that the condo owner can identify which items are major expenses. The condo owner can choose to purchase the supplies or material required himself or outsource the entire renovation project to the interior designer to save time.
