5 things you won't regret for reno🍋

1/8 Edited to

... Read moreWhen planning a renovation, one often overlooked aspect is how to cleverly integrate everyday functionality into your space. For instance, hiding the DB box or electrical panel is a common concern. You can design built-in cabinetry or use decorative panels that blend seamlessly with your walls to conceal these boxes without sacrificing access. This not only creates a cleaner look but also maintains safety and practicality. Another practical tip is adding pull-out drawers near power sockets. This small feature makes it simpler to access plugs and USB chargers without crawling under desks or furniture. Similarly, a side pocket built into cabinetry or furniture offers a dedicated spot for essentials like phones, remotes, or keys, reducing clutter. A pull-out or foldable table can transform a tight space into a useful study or work area when needed, then tuck away neatly afterwards. This is perfect for homes maximizing limited space. Lastly, display shelving near entranceways or work areas provides a handy place to keep keys, mail, or decorative items, combining function with personality. These thoughtful design details make daily routines smoother and your home feel truly personalized. Incorporating these elements during renovation avoids future regrets by prioritizing both beauty and usability, ensuring your space stays convenient and welcoming.

What We Saved On When Renovating Our Resale Flat

We saved on design fees by doing this
Ngl, it wasn’t easy. Took me months to fine tune because ideas kept changing and we honestly kept clashing in colours. But in no way am I a professional, and I’m fortunate enough to be able to visualise spaces and colours. This was just a way for me to ensure that the entire house flowed se
