It's a 2 bed, 1 bath apartment, about 90sqm.
Painter has quoted me $2200 (GST-incl) for painting the whole apartment - bedrooms, living, kitchen, bathroom, ceilings etc
To carpet the 2 bedrooms, I have a quote of $800, which includes takeup. Cheapest polyolefin carpet. The carpet looks fine for the price (to me).
Carpeter may charge me $880 if I want a receipt.
50% wool / 50% nylon was quoted about $1300-1500.
In term of colour, I will pick pure white for the ceiling and a light cream for the walls. I have seen apartments painted white from top to toe and for some reason, it looks cheap.
Carpet will be charcoal/granite (medium sort of dark colour). It seems to look nice against the living room/hallway brown floating floorboards. A brown carpet doesn't seem to match as nicely. Also, a charcoal colour will hide marks better.
Carpeter has recommended another darker colour, a grey that is so dark it's almost black. I haven't seen the swatch for this yet but will do before I finalise.
Any recs and am I making the right decisions in terms of cost/practicalities/colours?
To top it all off, I haven't decided 100% if I will rent or sell this property yet, so I need to plan for both
Thanks in advance!
