Renovation with a theme

So the project begins!

How do you start your renovation project? 
1) When something is damaged?
2) Festive season is around the corner?
3) Injecting a new life into your living area? Perhaps an industrial theme home?
4) You just got a big fat paycheck?

Regardless the reason, its usually revolves around these two goals, a place where you look forward to returning after a exhausting day at work, and/or a place where we feel safe and comfortable. Problem is, most home owners doesn't have a background in Creative or Design, let alone Architecture or Interior Design. Hence we usually have recommended Interior Designers to take over these part, but where or how do we start the search? Simple online media such as Renotalk will be a good place to start, if you prefer a more traditional approach, you may check with your friends and family.

Engage as many IDs as you like and it is recommended to prepare an Interior Designer selection checklist. This is to ensure you always know what you should look out for when choosing the right interior designer, an example of the checklist:

• Pricing
• Compatibility/Friendliness
• Attentiveness (how detailed) 
• Shares similar taste
• Responsiveness 
• And the list goes on. 

Whether you choose to engage a professional or decide to go creative on your own, stay tuned to our next post. It'll be mainly about inspiration, and its something you should have prepared before any real talks begin.

May your home be the most popular design home in Singapore, Asia, and the WORLD!

Handle with care

Laminate flooring is one of the most cost efficient way to have the best of all world. That being said, simple takes can be taken to ensure its quality and longevity remains at its best. 

Step 1, dry mop. Never use too much water when mopping laminate flooring, tiny water particles will seep into the locking and ultimately resulting in Water Damage. Best option would be to use fibre mop. 

Step 2, Handle with Care. Accidents happen, when your drinks are spilled onto the floor, quickly dry it off, especially the seams, if you do it fast enough, congratulation, you just saved your flooring. However, if water damage does occurs, make sure no one touches the affected part and try to leave it alone for sometime (anywhere between 1 week to 3 months++), the damage will not be obvious, but it is still there. In case of heavy damage, a replacement is adviceable, contact your contractor or ID to rectify this, or just call us. 

Step 3, Let it Shine! Though most don't do this, but you could consider it during your next Big House Keeping. Waxing the floor will rejuvenate its life, giving it the shine it lost overtime, and coating it to serve you longer. 

There are many more steps, but we don't wanna waste your time anymore, so remember the above 3 steps:

1) Dry Mop

2) Hande with Care

3) Let it Shine
