3 tips to save the most
Renovated home design often attracts many people’s discussion, because many spaces of the house after renovation are really a makeover. Recently, Bui Phung (1991, Saigon) also refurbished his own small house because he was about to get married. The guy’s post got a lot of attention.
It is known that the old house of the Phung family belongs to the typical architecture of Saigon from the past. So the space of the house is quite small and mysterious, the usable area is not maximized. Therefore, when thinking of the idea of renovating the house, Phung chose the plan of combining rooms to expand the area.
From two small rooms with an area of 20m2 / room, the guy decided to smash the wall to combine into a large 45m2 room with the same function as a small apartment, including sleeping, toilet, working and entertainment space. mind.

As can be seen, the old house is quite mysterious, the furniture is arranged inappropriately, making the usable space very limited.
Because Phung and his fiancée are both genuine designers, when they were about to return to the same house, the two came up with the idea of renovating the house. It took about a week for the couple to design and start construction right after that.
Finally, after 3 weeks, the small space was released, the house became much more airy and spacious.
Show everyone your husband and wife’s renovation work!
We have to spend about 200 million to get the dream space. The above total cost includes construction and furniture. The cost accounts for the most, probably the ceiling, walls and floor, because we all use wood, so the price seems to be a bit higher than using tiles. But with about 200 million and living in the space I love, I find that money worth it.
The main highlight of the room is the wooden shelf system that runs throughout the room. All spaces are linked together, creating an extremely comfortable and airy feeling. To save costs, we also keep the balcony door system and only repaint the color tone to match the overall space.
This is basically the master bedroom, including both work and entertainment functions. As for cooking and living together, my family still uses the space under the main house.
Lovely color scheme
The space after the renovation is greatly expanded, looks airy, not as secret as before
Because the space is stretched, there is no depth, so the room is always filled with natural light.
After the renovation, my husband and I feel very satisfied. Our living and working becomes much more comfortable. Being in a space I love, making new design ideas just flow like that.
The most cost-effective home renovation secret
After many projects for guests and for himself, Phung also learned some effective and cost-effective home improvement tips as follows:
Come up with a thoughtful design idea from the very beginning
Once you intend to renovate your home, the first thing I recommend you to invest in is the design. Proper design right from the beginning will help you arrange the idea of space, area, furniture as well as financial allocation so that it is reasonable.
Since my husband and I are people in the industry, we can design and adjust all investment costs ourselves. But if the design is not unified from the beginning, then during the repair process, there will be many difficulties. Many times it is still necessary to dam and rebuild, leading to a bunch of other costs incurred such as: labor costs, painting and repair costs, interior, exterior, and billions of unnamed costs.
If you are outside the industry, I think you should hire a designer to help you come up with ideas according to your needs, as well as balance investment costs as reasonably as possible.
Don’t have the mindset “I can do everything myself”
The most important thing to avoid when renovating a home is thinking that you can do everything yourself: from ideation, presentation, or self-construction. That is very wrong indeed. The road from 3D drawing to reality is a arduous process, not as simple as you think.
Just let the experts advise you. Don’t waste money on hiring designers, hire workers to do everything yourself. That thought will make you miss the most beautiful space for your home.
Take advantage of everything possible
I think to save costs, the best way is to take advantage of everything possible. You should not think that when you renovate your home, everything needs to be bought new.
For example, the furniture of my house. Most of the furniture we choose to use is old wood, old Saigon design, bought and then painted and polished by ourselves. Wood material is very good, giving a feeling of chill, light space. Above all, using old wood helps us save a lot of furniture costs.
Above is the whole process of “smashing and rebuilding” to have the right house as the couple’s dream. Hope everyone will soon have their own house as their wish.
Thank you for the sincere sharing from Bui Phung!
