Bourkevale Modern Kitchen: Before, During, and After
This main floor renovation was a success in our books. We faced a few challenges but our amazing and supportive trades showed up with good attitudes and were always willing to reschedule as needed to keep the project going. Our clients trusted our process and trusted that we’d do what we said we’d do. C+T were fun to be around, articulated their needs well, made decisions easily, and were understanding of the delays while the structural issues were resolved. In all honesty, one of the biggest factors of a less than normal stress level on this project was that they moved out during the reno. They checked in on progress from time to time and left the rest to us.
The Power of Architectural Elevations
Interior elevations play a crucial role in conveying the architectural details and aesthetics of a space. While floor plans provide a bird’s eye view of a home’s layout, interior elevations offer a vertical perspective, showcasing the height and depth of walls, windows, doors, and other architectural elements.
Transparent Design Project Quotes: Our Process Explained
Do you know the difference between a quote and an estimate? An estimate is a best guess of how much a job might cost. A quote is more exact. Once you’ve accepted a quote, the contractor has to do the work for that price. Don’t waste your money repeatedly trying out various contractors instead of making a decision and working through the process. Reach out to us at Bungalow Interior Design to plan your project accurately, and start loving your home again today.

Design Psychology: The Effect our Surroundings have on our Behaviour
Environmental psychology is the study of how humans interact with the environments they live in. Lighting, colours, arrangement, scale, proportions, acoustics, and materials all interact with a person's senses to produce a range of emotions and behaviours. As a result, design and creative measures should be considered in accordance with the social and psychological needs of the occupants.
