Bathroom design.
Imagine renovating the interior
feature of your home or office without having to spend more than
you can afford but getting more than you can bargain for. This
has been just what 3D Design has been doing in Brunei since
1999.
Any individual would be amazed
as they step into the showroom of 3D Design, which is located on
the 1st floor, Unit 1 Block C of Bangunan Pehin Dato Hj Md Yusof
Building (opposite Hotmart) in Kg Kiulap.
3D Design is an interior design
shop that also sells home products such as kitchenware, linens,
mattresses and home lighting accessories.
3D Design helps its customers
to select the best products to furnish their houses. Its
designers can help you save on costs and ensure all furnishings
match to give a "home feeling".
In an interview with the
Bulletin, the chief designer of 3D Design, Cindy, stated that
for her customers to be satisfied with the company's design and
services it is important for her to communicate with her
customers in order to understand her customers' special needs
and so on.
Normally, before she starts
designing a particular space, she will ask customers simple
questions like "Do they entertain a lot? Or do they do a
lot of cooking?
Customers who entertain a lot
will require different needs for their homes such as a spacious
living room and a dining table with enough chairs to entertain
guests for dinner. However, customers who do a lot of cooking
will need a multi-functional kitchen with a built-in oven, dry
food storage room and built-in dishwasher.
Customers who have kids would
mostly spend their time in the family living room where the
entertainment area is; therefore it is important to emphasize
more on this area of the home.
Such knowledge on the needs of
each customer will help 3D Design to put in what is needed in
the home and minimise on things that are not important to make
the most of any home space.
3D Design also specialises in
Ikea home products imported from Sweden.
Ikea, which has many franchises
all over the world, is most popular among Bruneian students who
had studied abroad as the home products are sold at reasonable
prices and can be disassembled easily.
After her studies in Canada,
Cindy missed the Ikea products and that is the reason why she
created 3D Design and started selling Ikea products in Brunei.
Ikea home-products' designs may
alter from time to time since they are not based on one designer
but many designers from all over the world and they are
especially popular among the middle-class people because of
their affordable prices.
Ikea products are being mass
produced in factories and distributed all over the world. This
in turn makes it convenient for the customers to do shopping in
the comfort of their homeland without the hassle of paying extra
charges for over-weight suitcases or breaking glass items along
the way!
The company also assists
customers by helping them not to "overspend".
It is a common mistake made by
those who are in the midst of designing their dream homes when
they would go from one shop to another buying an array of home
products but not knowing how to arrange the items bought. This
is where 3D Design can play a role in assisting customers as
they plan along with the layout of their new homes.
However, it is impossible to
display all the Ikea products at the shop; for the convenience
of its customers, the company has provided product catalogues
for customers to browse through and to place their orders.
3D Design also ensures the
satisfaction of customers as all shipped products can be
exchanged if any manufacturer defect is detected.
The company also helps customer
design kitchen space where kitchen shelves and fittings are
exclusively imported and all their designs can be custom made
depending on the space of any particular kitchen.
However, an affordable range of
choices from Ikea Kitchen provides an alternative for those who
are not so eager to spend a lot of money on the kitchen.
Anybody is welcomed to get free
consultation at the shop. Those who are interested to plan their
dream homes with an affordable budget can deposit $100 for a
design sketch. The deposit will be deducted if the customer
decides to use Ikea products to renovate the living space of
their homes.
At 3D Design, the designers are
able to work around a price that best suits your budget even if
it is as low as $500 to design any room of your choice.
So, if you have any big plan to
build your dream home, dream no more. All you have to do is go
to 3D Design and start planning your new home. After all, the
best thing about living is being home!
