121 Spare a Room “Set aside a room such as the storeroom which will not be renovated to store bulky items. I kept some of the kitchen appliances and fixtures such as the hob, hood and the sink that were installed together with the cabinetry.” STELLA, HOMEOWNER Reno Remains “No matter how much we cleaned, there always seemed to be a layer of dust on the floor after the renovation. It took more than few rounds to get rid of all the remaining dust and dirt so we recommend not laying down the carpet or area rug for the first few weeks after moving in.” JUNE & JUSTIN, HOMEOWNERS Power Up “Make sure you have enough power points, especially in the bedroom, kitchen and living area.” ELAINE, HOMEOWNER Reno Refreshments “Do leave bottled water or packet drinks in the fridge for the contractor and their workers. A little kindness can go a long way.” KEAN HOU, HOMEOWNER NeighbourhoodWatch “Exchange contact info with your new neighbours. They will not only notify you when there are group buys but can text you if they notice something amiss during the renovation.” JEAN, HOMEOWNER DESIGN BY PIU DESIGN BY JOEY KHU IMAGE COURTESY OF NORSU INTERIORS
