Simple Renovation Guide in 2024: Home Remodelling Tips with Prices & Designs
Light renovation, also known as "Simple Renovation," has become increasingly popular in recent years. Its advantages include helping homeowners save on renovation budgets and labour time. It is suitable for those with a smaller budget, tight construction schedules, or those who wish to provide flexibility for their homes. What exactly are the tricks of light renovation? How should the renovation budget be allocated? This article will introduce five key points of this renovation style and budget allocation, and even introduce design examples for reference to help create a unique living style.
What is Light Renovation?
Light renovation refers to simple, lightweight refurbishments of flats to save on renovation costs and time without involving major structural changes or cement work. It's a way of quickly and simply improving the appearance and ambience of a space.
3 Key Points of Light Renovation
The key is "simplicity." To master this renovation style, pay attention to the following 3 key elements: "Ceiling", "Flooring" and "Wall":：
Ceiling
Opt for simple ceiling designs, such as levelled ceilings or partially exposed beams, instead of complex structures, to present a fresh and minimalist style. If you want to enhance indoor lighting, consider installing track lights on the ceiling for decoration. They serve not only as lighting but also to create a warm atmosphere.
Flooring
For flooring design, here are three relatively inexpensive flooring options recommended for a light renovation style:

Walls
The key to light renovation is style, not complex layouts. To create a personal style home, try starting with the walls. Homeowners can use different colours of paint to decorate the walls or use various styles of wallpapers to create a unique visual effect on the walls, saving the cost of expensive materials like tile walls or marble walls. Additionally, homeowners can decorate the walls with paintings, themed walls, or murals to enhance their beauty.
Design Examples
In the renovation case of inT Design’s One Silversea, the designer put considerable effort into the wall design. From the entrance to the dining room, grey textured wallpapers were used, complemented with grey mirrors, white cabinets, and shelving, forming a multi-layered large installation. The dining room also has a coherent theme wall, mainly featuring walnut-coloured wood panels. From the entrance to the shoe cabinet and the wall cabinet of the dining room, all are decorated with walnut panes, concealing the entrance to the corridor and making the visual appearance neat and unified. In addition, the living room ceiling is equipped with trough light and spotlights for illumination. Moreover, by partially renovating, the air conditioning system is hidden within the ceiling troughs, maintaining simple and clean ceiling lines.
