Preparing the room
For anyone who has just taken handover of a new apartment or villa
Handover is the worst moment to make permanent decisions and the moment almost everyone makes them. The flat is empty and echoing, there is a date to move in, and the neighbours can see in.
Pre-decoration items within days of being asked. Bedrooms three to four weeks. Living areas deliberately deferred, typically three to six months.
This package separates decisions by how reversible they are. Anything hidden or structural gets resolved now because it is cheap at this stage and disruptive later. Bedrooms get resolved now because sleep matters from the first night. Living areas get a temporary solution and a deferred decision, because fabric chosen against bare white walls is the most common regret in new-build work.
It usually costs less than doing everything at once, which surprises people.

FAQ
Anything hidden — power for motorised treatments and recessed ceiling track pockets — because those are cheap now and require opening finished surfaces later. Bedrooms too, since blackout affects sleep immediately. Everything else genuinely can wait.
Check it first. It is usually the cheapest available and very often sized exactly to the window with no stacking space either side, which means the curtains can never clear the glass and the room stays permanently darker than it should be.
Because fabric chosen against bare white walls in an empty flat is the single most common regret in new-build work, and we would rather do the living room once, properly, than twice. Temporary blinds for a few months cost very little.
One extra visit, and the temporary blinds are inexpensive. It generally works out cheaper than replacing a living room scheme you regret, which is the alternative outcome we see most often.
