Condo projects are currently a popular choice of housing. But before you decide to buy a condo, there are both Fully Furnished and Fully Fitted condos to choose from. Let’s see how these two types differ and which type is right for you.
What is the difference between Fully Furnished and Fully Fitted?
Let’s get to know about decorating a house or condo with Fully Furnished and Fully Fitted furniture. What are the details of each type?
- What is Fully Furnished?
Fully Furnished room decoration means complete decoration ready to move in. The project will provide free-standing furniture such as tables, beds, chairs, or sofas and built-ins such as cabinets or shelves. Condo buyers do not have to bother finding additional furniture or decorations. It means that once you buy it, you can pack your bags and move in immediately. Some projects will have several furniture sets to suit the room and the resident’s preferences. - What is Fully Fitted?
Fully-fitted room decoration is a partial decoration of the room, an important difference between Fully Furnished and Fully Fitted rooms. Most Fully Fitted rooms are decorated only in the bathroom, such as the toilet, sink, or cabinets below, including the kitchen area with built-in shelves, a sink, or other kitchen shelves. Some projects may also add built-in wardrobes. The rest of the room must be decorated or additional furniture must be found by the condo buyer before moving in.
Pros and cons of fully furnished condos
Advantages of Fully Furnished Condos
- Fully Furnished condos are convenient to move into immediately because there is no need to decorate the room further because the Fully Furnished room is already completely decorated.
- It is easy to control the budget because the Fully Furnished room does not require an additional budget for finding additional furniture. However, if you want to decorate the room a little bit more, you can do so and it is easier to control the budget.
- The furniture or built-ins in the room are already beautifully arranged to match the entire room, making the room look beautiful and have the same theme. You do not have to waste time choosing furniture or designing the arrangement of various items in the room to match. It also helps reduce the problem of buying furniture not the right size for the room.
