Bessa’s Ultimate Guide to Luxury Property Renovation

The renovation of a property is a huge undertaking and can even be stressful for most people. However, there is a true reward that comes from owning a property and even a greater reward when you can customise the space to your liking. Renovating your luxury property is a great way to elevate the space and increase its value.  

If you’re considering the renovation of your new property, then read on for all you need to know on how to complete the project to a high standard. 

Pricing the Renovation

Before committing to renovating your property, It is important to decide if you will be renovating the entire house all at once, or doing select rooms in stages. In this same breath, start looking for Interiors Designers and discuss with them your vision for your property; how do you want it to look and feel? After discussing your vision with them, request a quote, as this will give you a clear understanding of all the expenses for the project.  

Reconfiguring the Space

There are some properties, especially strata developments that will have limitations on how you can reconfigure the building. Reach out to the builder or a surveyor to find out the rules that apply when changing the outside of the property. You can then adapt accordingly to ensure you get a final result that you’re happy with but also aligns with strata regulations.

Use the Original Features to your Advantage

The great thing about BESSA, is the modern decor style and open-layout plan within our properties. This includes high ceilings with wooden panels, french windows and basic furniture. If you desire to modernise aspects of the home, such as the decor, you can do this whilst ensuring that the more modern touches fit neatly alongside the original features of the property. This will bring out the beauty of the existing architectural design. 

Decoration

Once the structural changes are in place, it’s time to take things up a notch by decorating your property. This is all about your personality and creative vision coming together within your space. With the help of your interior designer, begin gathering inspiration of various design styles, themes and colour palettes that align with your aesthetics. At BESSA our design style is described as “Tropical Caribbean Luxury”, which is an elevated take on contemporary meets beach house chic. We have played on using modern features and mixing them with interesting pieces like a light-fixture made of wicker, that we’ve used in our Living Room space. It is important to know what you are taking on, how much it will cost and what changes are legally possible for you to make to the property should you wish to. Once you have the relevant facts, renovating the property can be a rich and joyful experience for you and your guests.
