Built-Ins

Apart from the flooring and doors, built-ins like cabinets and wardrobes can also be kept. Of course, this depends on their condition. You would have to check if they are mouldy or have been attacked by termites, as well as whether the hinges are working properly. Also, you will need to determine whether they will match the home’s new look. If the wardrobes and cabinets will not match the aesthetics of the new home, they could stand out like a sore thumb. Last but not least, you should also evaluate how long these fixtures will last; if they still have a few years left in them, then you can consider keeping them as well.

What If I Insist to Keep Some Features?

On some occasions, there might be some features that you might not want to part ways with – be it out of sentimental value or because they are relatively new. In those cases, you can always consult your interior designer to see if they can work around these features instead of installing new ones. However, safety is always one aspect that you should always think about. If there are parts that are unrepairable and pose a threat to the safety of you and your loved ones, then it’s better to consider an overhaul than risk injury.

If you are unsure, you can always consult an experienced and reliable interior designer to advise you on what to keep and what should be removed. Happy renovating!
