For the project, my boyfriend and I were willing to invest up to $3,000 on new furnishings and art (about a fourth of that budget I anticipate to make back in selling furniture we’re replacing). Our small (but reasonably sizable, for New York City) apartment needed the most work in the living / dining room, which is open to the kitchen. We cook at home a decent amount, but never have enough people over for a formal dining space. We do have friends over frequently to hang, drink, and play games, so we wanted the room to feel light, bright, and easy for multiple people to maneuver around.
Keeping these factors in mind, I tried out four different services to see how our main space could be laid out.
Some people have the ability to walk into a furniture store and pick out various pieces of housewares that appear seemingly mismatched but somehow work perfectly together when placed in a room. I am not one of those people. I moved in June and decided that after years of having a sloppily put together 20-something’s apartment, I was ready for something that felt more composed and intentional. If I wanted to fake being an adult, at the very least I could try to have an adult-looking apartment, right?
Happen to have your heart set on something special; a rear master suite, a 3-car garage, a double sized walk-in-robe? Our new home designs are flexible so you don’t have to be. Each of our house plans can be customised to suit your lifestyle, turned into right or left designs, or built as-is if you have fallen head over heels with a particular floor plan.
Fed up with free tools, I gave paid services a go. I was first introduced to e-interior design startup Havenly a few years ago at SXSW. The service promises to create a mood board, layout, and a shopping list to help make implementing the design easy — all under a flat rate instead of an hourly bill you might get with an in-person designer. (Havenly starts at $19 for a consultation, while the full experience is $169 for a bare room, with help on where to lay out each piece.)
Sure, our new home designs are among the best in Perth, but the real magic happens when you turn the key and start living amongst the smartest extras, inclusions, and upgrades in town. Because every new home designed and built by Smart Homes for Living is decked out with high spec inclusions. As standard! So you don’t have to fork out any extra to get a feature rendered front, Colorbond roof cover, Deluxe 900mm stainless steel kitchen appliances – the list goes on.
