Key factors to consider when renovating your apartment
Engaging Lux Interiors – interior designers and licnsed builders – will ensure you are provided with expert advice tailored to your specific apartment and renovation goals.
Budget
Determine an accessible budget for your renovation project. Your designer will utilise your budget to guide and prioritise your design choices, assisting you to make decisions that align with your financial capabilities.
Design Concept
Think about the style and atmosphere you want to create in your apartment. Consider factors such as colour scheme, furniture arrangement and bespoke cabinetry, lighting, and overall aesthetics. You can work with our designers to develop a cohesive design concept that suits your preferences.
Space Optimisation
Apartments often have limited space, so it’s crucial to make the most of what you have. Consider multifunctional furniture, smart storage space, and other space-saving solutions to maximise your living area. Our interior designers will assist you to create functional spaces that work effectively with your lifestyle and needs.
Compliance and Approvals
We ensure your renovation adheres to local building codes, certifications, and strata obligations. Approvals for your renovation are included in the design aspect of your project.
Lighting and Ventilation
Adequate lighting and ventilation can significantly enhance the ambience and comfort of your apartment. Our designers will explore options such as natural lighting, artificial lighting fixtures, and ventilation systems during the design phase to create a pleasant living environment.
Sustainable Solutions
Consider incorporating environmentally friendly elements into your renovation. This could include energy-efficient appliances, sustainable materials, and smart home technologies that help reduce energy consumption.

Renovating requires countless decisions. Ensure to infuse your personal style and preferences into the design. Whether it’s through artwork, decor, or furniture choices, adding personal touches will make your apartment feel like a home. Our designers will respect your personal aesthetics and guide the decision-making process to ensure your renovation is a reflection of you and how you choose to live.

Ensuring a Smooth Apartment Renovation Process
We try our best to make your luxury apartment renovation as smooth as possible. While some disruption is par for the course, we can do our best to minimise it by asking a few fundamental questions before the work begins. For apartment renovations, the following considerations are helpful to know ahead of time:
- Is there on-site parking, and is it available for contractors and delivery drivers (e.g. those delivering materials, appliances, supplies, etc.)?
- Do we need to apply for traffic control for deliveries?
- Do we have lift access (specifically, the goods and services lift if your building has one)?
- Can we get exclusive lift access for certain times?
- Where should the apartment renovation waste go?
- What are the hours of operation in your building?
- If mains water needs to be turned off, where is the access point (and who needs to be notified)?
Having answers to these questions helps us create a more accurate project plan, speeding up your apartment renovation and helping to avoid delays when the work begins on site.

Minimising Disruption
Apartment renovations can get quite loud, especially for your neighbours. We always try to be as considerate as possible, but we also suggest giving your neighbours plenty of warning ahead of time (both written and verbal usually cover all bases). This also notifies people that contractors and Lux Interiors staff will be coming and going and potentially using the on-site parking and elevators.
As always, we will treat your home with utmost respect and care. We try to keep the apartment as tidy as possible—albeit with the need to leave some building materials and dust sheets in place. We will keep you informed of our progress, communicate openly throughout the process, and are always happy to answer any questions you may have during the process.
