Why Apartment Renovation Should Start with Planning
When deciding to renovate an apartment, most people start thinking about future expenses from the very beginning. If you truly want to do everything once and do it right, it is important not to rush into construction work but to carefully plan all processes in advance. At first glance, the cost of apartment renovation may seem higher, but in reality, it is not. You are paying for peace of mind, quality sleep and rest, confidence in the result, and long-term comfort. A trained and experienced professional will plan your renovation down to the smallest detail and create a space that is truly comfortable for long-term living.
A talented and educated interior designer is someone who can reflect your individuality through the design of your home or commercial space while skillfully incorporating modern trends and tendencies. The goal is not just to create a beautiful interior, but a space that is comfortable to live in. The designer develops a personalized atmosphere with all the conditions needed for comfortable, long-term use.
To achieve this, the interior designer carefully studies the client’s wishes, lifestyle, needs, and financial capabilities. Together with the client, they select stylistic directions, color schemes, trends, and furnishings. The result is a harmonious and functional space that reflects the owner’s personality. The designer creates not only the visual concept but also a detailed renovation plan in the form of a design project.
A renovation project is a mandatory part of working with professionals. At BELIK Interior Studio, construction teams do not begin work without a detailed design project. This documentation includes all necessary information regarding:
Space planning solutions
Architectural works
Installation and concealment of utilities
Insulation and soundproofing
Implementation of modern trends
Creation of an individual interior
The project reflects an interior option that fully matches your budget. At the beginning of the collaboration, you discuss how much you are willing to spend on finishing materials, construction works, furniture, plumbing, and lighting. Based on this budget, the designer selects real products from actual manufacturers and suppliers. This approach allows you to understand the approximate renovation cost in advance.
Of course, the final amount may change slightly due to price fluctuations or adjustments during construction, but the budget will not double or triple unexpectedly at the end.
The design project includes not only an estimated budget but also a clear step-by-step renovation plan. Thanks to detailed visualizations, you will see what the rooms will look like and understand the quantity and specifics of materials and furnishings. Drawings and plans clearly explain all construction processes. You simply provide the documentation to the site manager or construction team and wait for the result.
Planning an apartment renovation and want clear pricing with no surprises?
Start with a professional design project — it saves money, time and nerves.
Our studio carries out phased apartment renovations strictly according to the design project. Our teams are experienced in implementing complex design solutions. We have transformed many properties in Kyiv into modern, personalized homes — you can easily verify this by viewing our portfolio.
You receive complete information about the renovation process: work sequence, required materials, and all technical details — all documented in one project. There is no need to explain anything verbally or “on fingers.” Everything is clearly shown in plans, drawings, diagrams, and visualizations. You only need to occasionally visit the site, approve stages, resolve questions, and handle material purchases.
If you prefer not to spend your time and energy on this, you can order author supervision. In this case, your designer ensures that the final result fully matches the visualizations and concept. This option is especially popular among busy clients who travel frequently, live abroad, or own property in another city.
What Determines the Cost of Apartment Renovation?
In addition to your budget, renovation costs depend on several factors:
Type of Renovation
Will it be a simple cosmetic update or a complete redevelopment with replacement of all utilities? Who performs the work — unverified workers or an experienced, contract-based team? These factors directly affect cost, quality, durability, and final appearance.
Professional teams protect you from mistakes, rework costs, material waste, and unnecessary stress. Verified contractors work under contracts, provide guarantees, and have proven portfolios.
Architectural and Design Solutions
Apartments in new buildings with open layouts are generally cheaper to renovate than older properties. Renovating older housing often involves dismantling structures, correcting past mistakes, upgrading utilities, insulation, and soundproofing. Even with a limited budget, our designers find smart solutions to transform outdated spaces into comfortable, modern interiors.
The choice between mosaic and natural stone, custom furniture and standard models, or multi-level lighting versus a single chandelier significantly impacts the final cost.

The renovation budget can be planned at the design stage. Our studio offers several pricing levels (economy, standard, business), all maintaining high-quality workmanship. The economy option focuses on practical, stylish solutions without compromising quality.
Instead of complex architectural structures and expensive materials, we emphasize space, functionality, and timeless design. These interiors remain relevant for 10–15 years.
Interior Design Pricing in Kyiv
Interior design pricing includes several services, with project development being the core. True interior design is more than wallpaper and furniture rearrangement — it is a personalized solution tailored to space, budget, and lifestyle.
Once the design project is complete, renovation costs and material budgets can be accurately calculated. A detailed estimate is provided by the site manager after reviewing the project and inspecting the property.
At BELIK Interior Studio, you can order a turnkey interior design project with a fixed, transparent price. The project includes full documentation, visualizations, technical drawings, material selection within your budget, and consultation at every stage.

BELIK Interior Studio creates practical, family-oriented interiors that improve quality of life, remain comfortable, harmonious, and relevant for years. Every decision is based on the client’s needs, family composition, property specifics, and budget.
House Design Project Pricing
The cost of a house design project at BELIK Interior Studio depends solely on the property’s area. Design planning accounts for approximately 8–10% of total renovation costs but saves significantly more by preventing mistakes, delays, and unnecessary expenses.
Our design projects are comprehensive — you do not pay extra for individual drawings or plans. Documentation is provided in both printed and digital formats, with payment divided into three stages during project development.
