The question is never what looks best, it is what changes the room for the least work.
Rental remodelling rewards the smallest change that resets a room. Seeing paint, flooring and cabinet refinishing rendered separately makes it obvious which one is carrying the difference.
Open the StudioWhat usually goes wrong
- Overspending on a full remodel where a refinish would do
- Choosing durable finishes that photograph badly
- Rooms that read tired even after work
- No way to compare two options side by side
The workflow
- 1Try a Paint ColourTest the cheapest change first — it is often most of the effect.
- 2Change the FloorThen the largest surface, which is what actually dates a rental.
- 3Refinish the CabinetsAnd refinishing rather than replacing, which is usually the right answer.
Questions
- Which change gives the most difference?
- Usually flooring, then wall colour. Both are visible in every photograph of the room.
- Can I compare two options?
- Run the same tool twice with different inputs — both results stay in your designs.
