Once you know where you are moving,
a guide to read.
The room before you get the key, with nothing in it yet.
Some choices can only be made while it is still blank.
Floors, wallpaper and curtains: the order to decide them in, and how.
Interior advice is mostly about furniture. But what first decides the impression of a room is not furniture. It is the floor, the walls and the curtains, the surfaces of the room itself.
These three have an order. Get it wrong, and matching them later becomes hard. Follow it, and even without confidence in your sense of style, the room comes together.
Start with the very first one.

Why made-to-order curtains look beautiful
A hotel window looks beautiful not because the fabric is luxurious. It comes down to measurable things: dimensions, depth of the pleats and the weight of the hem.
Read →Floors and wallpaper are the clothes of a room.
When choosing clothes, we naturally think about color, material and how they suit our build. Yet for a room, those standards suddenly vanish, because we assume the floor and wallpaper are fixed from the start.
renovy treats them as things that can be changed, and in a reversible way, even in a rental. So this guide is not a product pitch. It sets out the standards for choosing. So that even if you end up laying a floor somewhere other than renovy, you can still judge well.
Which floor will you walk on, and which walls will surround you as you sleep?
It is yours to choose.
When reading alone is not enough to decide,
this is the moment to talk.
Just tell us your floor plan and what you are thinking now. A coordinator will propose floors, wallpaper and curtains as one space. You can also check samples at home.
