While you have shortlist your ID, you probably need to look out what are the toilet/kitchen accessories you will want them to install. The lighting, the blinds/curtain.

As it was our second home, we are experienced and we planned to shift our furniture. Despite if that, we still require to buy for our renovation as I did not want to keep the previous owner stuff.
Basically, we had our items from the following areas, Taobao, Heritage, The Mirage, Gain City, Bathroom warehouse, Ikea
We purchased from Tabao for our smart light, light bulb, led strip, smart switch, curtains, curtain track, motorized curtain track, venetian blinds for common room, motorized blind for study room, carpets, coffee table, bedside table, living room console, Toilet taps, and common toilet shower set, toilet roll holder, rack to hook towel and storeroom rack.
While Kitchen sink & Tap($335), bath tub ($346), grohe accessories set for master toilet ($148), 2x toilet bowl with slim seater foc collar ($616), 3xtracklights exclude bulb and 2m track ($13) are from Heritage. I think they really offer a good price and provided a further discount. Do look for Sharrine Yeo and you may request a discount by saying you are recommended by shuxian. (total spending $1500)
For my living room balcony and master bedroom balcony I want to install the Zip blinds. And I did a lot of home work and running up and down several places to check out the price of the zipblind. Finally I came across one that I decided to go for is The mirage. I also manage to get to include the motorized clothes hanger to be install at my kitchen yard. ($5660 for both balcony zip blinds)
My hod and hood ($808 +30 delivery fee, rp $939), dyson pure cool cryptomic ($840, rp$999), sonos sound bar ($600, rp $699) was actually from Gaincity
And I bought a grohe shower set for our master bathroom from bathroom warehouse with the thermostat
In additions, I head down to Ikea mainly get my internal wardrobe layout idea and get my ID contractor to follow my requirement while I bought a mirror for my common toilet from Ikea.
I also went to blum show room to have a idea how i want my kitchen cabinet arrangement to be like.
Last but not least, we get Omidesk customation ($1043) and secret lab chair ($479) for our study room.
