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.
For years, homeowners in Singapore have treated $30,000 as the “standard” price tag for a full home makeover. But is that budget still realistic in today’s market?
We discuss:
💰 The origin and evolution of the "$30K reno" mindset
📉 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.
