Why My Flat Never Felt Like Home (Until Now)
We tend to underestimate the significance of curating a space โ myself included (despite being an interior design enthusiast). When I first moved into my current place, I had all the furniture I needed to get by. Sure, most pieces were a little old and worn (with more than a few squeaky hinges), and they werenโt exactly the most visually pleasing, but they did the job.
As grateful as I was, it never truly felt like home. It was just a space I slept in, ate in, and came back to at the end of the day. Life got busy, and while my friends often heard me ramble about revamping my flat, it always felt like an impossible task. The inspiration was there โ I had a rough vision (backed up by 300 Pinterest pins) โ but I lacked cohesion and, of course, time.
Thatโs where Papahome steps in and works its magic: turning inspiration into a living, breathable space that actually feels like home.
Is It Really That Simple?
After wandering through 30,000 square feet of styled rooms and furniture samples, I was itching to create something of my own โ but where do you even begin? Despite my tendency to overthink, the process turned out to be remarkably straightforward. In short: consultation, home visit (if youโd like), two rounds of design revisions, finalising orders, delivery, and installation.
Honestly, the hardest part was simply booking that first consultation. It felt daunting at first, but I was pleasantly surprised by how accommodating and understanding the staff were. With just a few photos and short clips of my living space, a quick sketch of my floor plan, and some inspiration images, the team guided me through a range of tailored suggestions that fit both my needs and budget. They answered all my questions, eased my concerns, and stayed in touch over the following weeks to ensure everything was clear and I felt confident in each step.
For this project, the focus was the living room โ a space I had never been comfortable inviting people into, whether friends or family. The walls were chipped, Iโd thrown out broken furniture and was left with only cupboards for storage, and I had no proper place for my belongings. The clutter wasnโt just physical; it was beginning to weigh on my headspace too.
The Big Payoff
Although my living room revamp didnโt include any structural renovations, Papahome also offers full renovation services โ from walls and flooring to built-in furniture and beyond. After sharing my preferences, the team put together a report with a completed moodboard, a list of furniture picks, a full render of my space featuring those pieces, and a clear price breakdown. I knew exactly what to expect, and the results did not disappoint.
As mentioned earlier, time was one of my biggest worries with work and everything else going on, but communication was seamless when coordinating with the Papahome staff, who worked around my schedule with ease. Refurbishing any space can be overwhelming, and while I braced for the usual stress, the entire process stayed smooth from start to finish. I was even advised on the best ordering dates to take advantage of Taobaoโs annual sales. Do I consider that top-tier service? Absolutely.
