What is Showroom?
When you decide to live in an condo or apartment before moving in, we must schedule a viewing with the landlord and real estate agent before you sign the contract. In the case of property for rent or sale, it should be in good condition so that the tenant, rather than the buyer, can make an informed decision after trying and viewing the room for rent.
What is Showroom?
A showroom is a room that has been decorated to resemble the use of real space to visualize elements in the room more clearly, such as furniture placement, wall decoration, installation of curtains, floor coverings, and other elements, so that you can see the true environment and atmosphere of the room during the decision-making process.
Types of Showroom
There are 2 types
- Condominium sales office and showroom
It is a room replica that has been recreated in accordance with the actual space and size of the wall, this includes decorating the room and arranging all of the furniture to make it look like the real thing. The caveat when looking at this sample room is the disparity in room size. Because of the decoration and location, the size of the room may appear larger than it is, including additional elements such as floors.
- Showroom for condominiums in a real condominium building.
This example room will be in the actual condo unit building when the condo is finished, this showroom is more similar to the actual showroom than the sales office showroom. The dimensions of the walls and the height from floor to ceiling are proportionate to the size of the room. If you are impressed with the decoration and want to move in, you can purchase this sample room after visiting it.
Things to check when viewing a Showroom
1. Don't forget to bring your room plan.
Of course, the showroom will be very well decorated to simulate, for example, a room decorating idea. But don't forget that the important thing to know is the actual floor plan of the room, such as whether there is a dark corner or the length of the wall to facilitate repair if the room does not meet your requirements.
2. Check the inner wall which is not in the showroom.
The decorated showroom can create an illusion by displaying corners and areas that are not their true size, showrooms are frequently decorated to make them appear larger than they are. Decorating your future room could be a good idea. However, the actual distance from the wall should be considered as well.
3. Make sure you ask about the materials used.
Beautiful materials can make a beautiful room decoration. However, make sure that the material is durable and will not cause you any problems in the future. As well as taking into account the benefits and drawbacks of the temples you will receive in the room, as well as developing other options that could be better, and models that are brighter and look better, and better heat resistance The advantage of synthetic or artificial stone is its durability, it has a more durable surface and consistent colors and patterns that will not go unnoticed on every sheet. It's also less expensive.
4. Check the room's equipments and furnitures for quality.
You can check, if necessary, when you enter the room (depending on the case). Such as electrical and electrical equipment, furniture (tables, cabinets, beds, etc.), room decoration materials, room defects, etc.
5. Check the ceiling height.
Because the showroom may have different height than the actual room, the simulation and room decoration can be deceiving. So, if you intend to be the owner of that room in the future, it is best to keep your expectations on the actual elevation size low to not be disappointed afterwards.
6. Review what we can and cannot achieve with lease agreement.
When you sign lease agreements, make sure you get what you pay for when you move into your new condo or home, particularly appliances and decorative furnishings such as refrigerators, stoves, and various appliances. Some things in life are unavoidable, and it is best to get them with a contract to ease the transition.
7. Don't be shy to measure the room size yourself.
If you're still unsure about the room's size, you can take more precise measurements with a tape measure. If you dislike the showroom décor and would rather decorate the room yourself, measure the allowable dimensions for the furniture you want to replace the existing furniture with to fit your desired style.
8. Look in the mirror as far away as possible.
The real estate agent or landlord may not be able to provide you with all of the room dimensions. Installing glass in the room can also increase the room's size and view. Take note of the room dimensions and consider installing a mirror in your room.
