There can be many reasons to start designing a bedroom. A new house, the arrival of a baby, the transformation of a garage into a master suite And the prices are very different depending on the work.
I support you in your project to define your budget and to better understand the quotes down to the smallest detail.
The essential
The price of the fit-out varies depending on the materials for the floor, ceiling, and walls of your new room.
Don’t underestimate the furniture budget, essential to feeling good in this new space. To estimate your interior design project, do not hesitate to contact professionals and request quotes.
Elements to take into account when calculating the price of fitting out a room
Coatings
The bedroom is a room that must be comfortable and cozy: you spend almost a third of your time there. Do you prefer laminate or carpet? Wallpaper on the walls or new paint on the partition?
Floor and wall coverings are to be included in your project, with a variable amount depending on the type of supply and the surface area.
Electricity
It is also necessary to estimate the cost of electrical renovation and heating appliances. A detail that is important for your comfort. Do not hesitate to ask for quotes from professionals before fitting out the interior of the attic or garage.
Furniture and decor
Take into account the price of furniture (bed, desk, wardrobe, bedside table), and that of decorative accessories. They go a long way in creating the ideal ambiance for sweet dreams.
Labor
You may need the help of a professional to arrange your space: a painter, carpenter, or electrician for example. Or even a plumber if you plan to install a bathroom.
The price of interventions varies depending on the nature of the work, but you will save time. I advise you to request several quotes before deciding.
Good to know
If you are embarking on the renovation of a garage or the attic of the house, plan for good insulation and the creation of an opening. These positions can increase the bill, but they are essential.
