Especially for new homeowners.

Figuring out how to renovate your home?

Instead of fumbling around on your own, your best bet might be to consider engaging an interior designer (ID).

How can an interior designer help?

For the uninitiated, an ID is in charge of your renovation project, offering design ideas tailored to your personal preferences, and handling the renovation coordination.

This means that busy homeowners can leave the technical details to their designers and focus on the fun parts, like choosing your preferred interior design style, tiles, paint and colours.

In addition, most IDs provide 3D drawings to help you better visualise the end result of your dream home.

What about contractors?

Contractors are generally regarded as a more cost-effective option, but this may not always be the case, as you are required to be more hands-on in the process.

You won’t receive as much guidance and are already expected to have a good idea of how you want your home to look.

You’ll also have to liaise directly with sub-contractors which can be challenging, especially if you’re not clear on what you want. Differences between layman and technical terms can also easily lead to miscommunication.
