Painting give or take $1k. floor tiles is a major work which requires hacking etc, and the quality of tiles is also important. Last thing you want is to have th tile changing colors or having hairline crack. Why do you need to change the tile?

Depend if u renting out or own stay.
I spent only 3k for painting, curtain, lighting, electronic n furnishing etc and happily rented out at 4k+ for 500sf. Fully furnished.

if one person self staying only,... can try lay laminate wood flooring... some cheap condo has that in bedrooms... nice wood feeling when living on top of the laminate wood,.... floor tiles still hidden below, you get back the floor tiles once you remove the wood laying on top... should be around S$1K for your living room...

note: laminate wood flooring could be damaged by excessive water.. material is some compressed saw dust....

Can try vinyl also, cheap and waterproof

vinyl waterproof but too cheapskate,... vinyl need to be glued onto the floor which will damage the present floor tiles... whereas laminate wood will have a thin layer of plastic lining/sponge as protection to the tiles below, no scratches to original tiles, (you can get back tiles once removed the laminate wood)... i diy 500sqft of vinyl in my office last year... both vinyl flooring and laminate wood flooring look equally nice in appearance (look like real wood flooring)... but vinyl got no "wood" feeling when sitting on top...

no-lah, you don;t ask me about all these renovation,... me no expert...

i do those things for fun, or as "hobby" only,... simple DIY things like floor tiles laying (simple vinyl/laminate wood type), painting, electrical wiring, ikea blind/shelf installation, minor pumbling, floor epoxy coating, some repairs and etc.... bcoz for anything non-residential, tenants don;t mind about poor workmanship or Fishy workmanship.... hahaha...

btw: i think if you keep your ceramic tiles too long under that laminate wood,... it will also turn yellowish due to without cleaning for too long...

Depending on the type of tiles. If homogenous tiles , then it should not cost you more than 10psf all in - so around 4k max for tiling. Parquet should also be around the same and laminate should ce cheaper.

for living room area, timber strips will look better than parquet but will cost double the px.

[ikan bilis]

i like timber strips flooring... shiok !!... roughly how much psf is that ??...

this one i dunno leh... but it's slightly more than double the px compared to parquet. nav said it's ard 10psf for parquet so i reckon it will range ard 20-25psf for timber strips..

but then hor, timber strips sometimes they will cheat abit.. intersperse a few long strips with alot of short strips.
