The common misconception about interior designing is the price tag that comes with it. \u201cOh no, interior decoration is too expensive. I can\u2019t afford that!\u201d, is what every new homeowner with a strict budget would say.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

On top of that, it\u2019s hard to sift through trustworthy interior designers who can get the job done and designers who would take advantage by overpricing your quotation.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Truth be told, interior designing can come at quite the affordable price and still be exactly the way you\u2019d imagine, to fit the balance between cost and quality.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

To convince you, one of our platform\u2019s interior design firms, R.Works Interior Design, present some of their incredible interior design work, all under a comfortable RM33K!<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

1. \u201cFunky-Town\u201d Airbnb in 3 Towers, Jalan Ampang<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Completed in 2018, this artsy 885 sqft SoHo unit in 3 Towers, Jalan Ampang was apparently a lot of fun to design and so much more to stay! The unit was converted into an Airbnb, and the owner had requested for a cosy living space within a reasonable budget but the designers decided to turn it up a notch.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Rather than going with the full Scandinavian designs like most Airbnbs, the designers decided to break some rules and contrast them by incorporating some dark bold colours, thus derived the project name \u201cUptown Funk\u201d.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Some of the unique features added in the living room were the bright yellow cork board mounted in the living area to display creative artwork and photographs, and the striking bumblebee-striped wall panel beside the TV console.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Furniture pieces of various colours were also placed by the designers such as the floating beige TV console, dining table, and the L-shaped sofa.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

\r\n

The Scandinavian touch was contributed by the TV console with concealed lighting against an impressive cement textured wall.<\/figcaption>\r\n<\/figure>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Since SoHo units don\u2019t come with partition walls, the designers found a way to create one without the hard work of adding drywall: curtain room dividers.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

It provides enough privacy while still maintaining a wide-open space that isn\u2019t so closed off.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

In the main bedroom area, two queen-sized beds were added for sleeping space. The feature wall behind was the same Premium Vasari cement textured paint as the living room, which brings a lot of style to the bedroom environment.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

For practicality and a touch of elegance, the designers added the raised platform and enhanced it with some warm concealed lighting on the underside.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Furthermore, the raised platform for the two queen-sized beds enabled more space to place another single bed if needed. The platform also features some concealed lighting underneath for a more ambient feel.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

\"Double\r\n

Another clever method of creating an extra sleeping space without a room was the cubby spot. It included a little wardrobe and a grey mirror, making the space seem more equipped. The curtains could be drawn in for more privacy.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Overall, the works were done under rather short notice but executed perfectly with a modest budget of RM33K which included post-renovation cleaning as well.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
