1. Interior Design: Get Inspired

While there are countless of interior design firms out there, it is always best to have what you want in mind. From Scandinavian to Japanese Zen, there are plenty of themes to choose from.

To get started, be sure to check out our very own guide on trendy home decor styles that might interest you.

Of course, there are other platforms that provide handy home inspiration ideas! Some of those we recommend are Pinterest and HomeAndDecor.

2. Choosing an Interior Design (ID) firm

Once you decide on a theme you like, you may want to engage in an Interior Design firm (commonly known as “IDs”) to help you renovate your new nest.

Renovations can start from $10,000 up to $100,000 for extravagant make-overs. Hence, it is always important to perform due diligence (aka “research”) to ensure that you get the most bang out of your buck. In fact, we have written about 4 tips to help you choose an ID firm – be sure you check the guide out!

For starters, it is always a good idea to use interior design platforms such as Qanvast, Renopedia or HomeRenoGuru.Sg. These platforms usually liaise with reputable IDs and have pictures of their most recent work.

Besides, some of them have an instant-quote feature and a review system. This saves time and effort as compared to heading down to various ID showrooms to get a quote.

Choosing a suitable and reliable ID requires a whole new article which we may cover in the future. If you like such content, be sure to follow us on social media! (Facebook & Instagram)
