In this episode of The SIXiDER Show, we sit down with Patrick Yap, founder of Go Design, to unpack one of the longest-standing conversations in the local interior design scene — the infamous $30K renovation budget.

📉 How inflation, material costs, and expectations have changed the game
🏠 What homeowners can realistically achieve with different budgets today
⚠️ Where corners might be cut when budgets are too tight
🎯 Patrick’s honest take on how to spend smart without sacrificing quality
If you're planning a renovation and holding onto that $30K figure — this episode is a must-watch before you start.
