Experience:
Renovating a CR with a dimension of 1m Width x 1.8m Length was very difficult, because you have to plan carefully in order to avoid cluttered fixtures and wrong color combination. These were the things that Dwyt and I have done and learned before and after the renovation.
1. Plan Carefully. Using a steel tape, Dwyt measured the width, length and height of the CR and I sketched it using Sweet Home 3D.
2. Color Scheme. Based on my research, to make smaller space look bigger, pastel colors should be used. Since our CR already have an existing blue floor tiles and a blue stripe tiles, we both agreed to buy a blue plain colored tiles for the remaining half portion of the wall.
3. Buy stainless steel items. Please do not use plastic or chrome items for the CR as much as possible because these type of material easily gets damaged.
