Package B
Package C

Kindly refer to this table for easier comparison:
☻ means its included in that package.
Counting of delivery days starts AFTER we receive all important information needed to design you space thru our Design Chat. The customer will be asked for a confirmation to start with 3D Design once the Design Chat is over. Delivery Time per package is based from 1 package order. If you ordered more than 1 Design Package, it will be plus 1 Delivery Day every additional Design Package ordered. If your order is for a Commercial Space, it will be plus 1 Delivery Day to the overall Delivery Day total.
(e.g)
Personal Space
You purchased 2 Package C & 1 Package B order
Delivery Time will be 9 Days with the computation as follows:
7 Days (Package C) + 2 Days (additional 2 Packages)
Commercial Space You purchased 4 Package C & 2 Package B order Delivery Time will be 13 Days with the computation as follows: 7 Days (Package C) + 5 Days (additional 2 Packages) + 1 Day (Commercial Space)
To maintain the quality of our designs, if there are already 3 existing scheduled submittals on your original Delivery Day, your Delivery Day can be bumped to the following work day schedule. The Design Team will inform you about your final Delivery Day during Design Chat. Weekends and Philippines Holidays are not included in the Delivery Day count.
You need PACKAGE A to:
see a 3D Rendered Image of you space.
visualize the design on your actual space (not just a Pinterest peg or another concept board / moodboard with collage)
You need PACKAGE B to:
get the same as PACKAGE A and..
see a Floor Plan of your space.
guide you with furniture/decor arrangement and its sizes.
You need PACKAGE C to:
get the same as PACKAGE B and..
see a Shopping List for the furniture/decor of your space.
know what furniture, decor or material finish to use & where to buy them.
We recommend you to get Package C if you're doing a full makeover of your space because this package includes Furniture Layout (Floor Plan)and Shopping List which are the most helpful tools in your design quest.
But it still depends on your budget! The good thing about ALL our packages is that they all have a Rendered Image, which is definitely more helpful than a moodboard / concept board(what some e-designers offer).
1 Package is to 1 Room.
For multiple room orders, you should purchase multiple packages also. Just make sure to assign a unique Name of Room for our convenience.
It should be an enclosed interior space with full partition walls. Full partition walls are walls from floor to ceiling.
A Rendered Image is a non Photo-Realistic image that will help you visualize your space. Imagine it like a photo taken from a corner of your space reflecting the design you want.
The selection of the Rendered Image view in the Package order will be for the Design Team's discretion. Incase you want to select a particular view as the Rendered Image, you need to get a View+ Top-Up.
A Before & After Clip shows you the transformation of your current space to your approved design. For better Before & After Clip, make sure to take a nice photo of your space / room.
We do a 3D Modeling of your actual space based from the details you send us in our Design Chat. We use our go-to 3D modeling software to create a Rendered Image for you. 3D Modeling files are for internal use only. We do not send this file to customers.
A Furniture Layout (Scaled) is a floor plan of your space that reflects all the furniture and decor shown in the Rendered image. This lets you know the size of the furniture seen in the Rendered Image. We also send this in colored format so its visually easier to understand.
All our Furniture Layout are Scaled or To Scale. This means you can print it out and measure with an ordinary ruler. Print it out and bring it with you when you go out to buy furniture, so you know the sizes youll need.
A Shopping List is a simple directory of furniture, and decor in the Rendered Image. This will include product code and store name. You can also inform us if you have preferred furniture, decor & lighting stores during Design Chat so we can consider them in the design.
Please note that we do not supply a detailed Shopping List. We only choose a maximum of 10 essential items to jumpstart your design quest. The Shopping List does not include Finishes List (material finishes). The Shopping List also does not include custom Furniture/Décor unless the Furniture Detail Top-Up is purchased.
A minor revision is limited to change of color / material / finish, minor movement of previously used furniture or decor and any minor alteration of the 3D Model. Change of mind (especially change of Design Theme) after receiving the Rendered Image is not considered as a Minor Revision. Revisions are always in a non photo-realistic output only and are applied to 2 Rendered Images (max).
Changing a maximum of 3 design elements / furniture / decor items under the same Design Theme is still considered as a Minor Revision. However, changes in the style /theme of more than 3 or almost ALL furniture & decor (especially when those items were based from the original Design Chat) is already considered as a Major Revision. Changing of the approved option for Furniture Layout, after seeing the 3D Design, is also considered as a Major Revision.* Any additional design pegs & inspiration photos sent after we give you a notice-to-proceed with 3D design will no longer be applied in the Rendered Image.
For Major Revisions, you must purchase a new design package.
*Only Package B and Package C receives 2 Furniture Layout options and unlimited Furniture Layout revisions for approval before proceeding to 3D Design. As Package A does not include Furniture Layout options, its Minor Revision doesn't cover moving any furniture after receipt of 3D Design.*
We have 12 Design Themes available:
Mid-Century Modern
Tropical
Minimalist
Modern
Eclectic
Asian

Yes, we allow upgrading your Package after you received the final design, however we will apply the following restrictions and guidelines:
Package A to Package B
The Furniture Layout that we’ll prepare for you will be strictly based from the final design. We will only translate the final design into a Furniture Layout with dimensions & sizes. We will not anymore rearrange furniture of the approved Package A. No revised Rendered Images will be submitted along with the Furniture Layout.
Package B to Package C
The Shopping List that we’ll prepare for you will be based from the final design. There is a possibility that the furniture will change due to availability or sourcing limitations. The changes will only be reflected and itemized in the Shopping List. No revised Rendered Images will be submitted along with the Shopping List.
The above mentioned restrictions and guidelines also applies for Package A to Package C upgrade. ALL Design Package upgrades does NOT cover extra revisions. To maximize the upgrade, we encourage upgrading BEFORE we submit the final design. The final design is either the originally sent design or the design with minor revision.
You can upgrade a package by purchasing Package Upgrade in our SHOP!

No. We don't customize the deliverables we send for commercial space orders. We are offering the same package inclusions for both personal and commercial space orders. We recommend that you review the inclusions in our Design Packages before placing an order. You may get Top-Ups applicable to your additional requirements.
Just purchase the necessary number of Design Packages (B and/or C only) and Bigger Room Top-Ups you need for your commercial space in our SHOP. Don't forget to note "Commercial Space" under "Name of Room" in the package option.
If your Size of Room (floor area) is less than 50sqm, you will need to purchase the Package Booster along with your package order. If your Size of Room (floor area) is more than 50sqm, you do not need to purchase a Package Booster anymore, just make sure to purchase the correct quantity of Design Package and Bigger Room Top-Up needed for your space. We can provide discount if you're ordering in bulk (Multiple Room /Package), just send us a message before purchasing.
It's an option in our SHOP wherein small Commercial Spaces with Size of Room (floor area) below 50sqm can still avail of our affordable packages by adding a minimal fee for every floor area. Don't forget to choose the correct Size of Room (floor area) in the Package Booster option to get the correct multiplier. The minimal fee (multiplier) are as follows:
1 to 25sqm -- $1.5
26 to 50sqm -- $1
The Package Booster can only be availed with an existing Package B or Package C order. You can purchase a Package Booster here.
We follow the same count for Delivery Day of personal spaces then add 1 Day from the overall Delivery Day total. Please refer to FAQ: Are the "Packages" the same? for the Delivery Day detail per package ordered.
In case you are ordering in bulk (Multiple Room/Package) and you want to split the Delivery Day, just inform the team during Design Chat. We allow partial submission for a minimum of 3 rooms (with approved Furniture Layout and confirmation to proceed with 3D Design). In the event that partial submission is requested, the additional 1 Day - Delivery Day applied to Commercial Spaces will be multiplied to the number of partial submittals. Meaning, we add 1 Day from every overall partial submittal Delivery Day.
As soon as we get an approved furniture layout and a confirmation to proceed with 3D Design, the team can already start working on the 3D Design of a room. However, the team will only set a Delivery Day for the partial submittal once there are 3 rooms (with approved Furniture Layout and confirmation to proceed with 3D Design) already. This is to lessen confusion in the Design Chat discussion and maintain quality in design output for Multiple Room/Package order.
As we are offering an e-design service, we don't do any renovation, remodeling or construction work. We are the third party that will always have your back when it comes to design. Its good to get a third party like us, so that you have more control on the design output and you're assured that design won't be compromised cause its "free".
Reality is, some groups offer irresistable free design offers but will:
limit you to get all furniture / decor from them or
pressure you to approve a so-so design that favors them in construction
Unfortunately, we do not offer design assitance in the actual site as we are an e-design service. The design services offered by AN AFFORDABLE SPACE is exlusively online.
We recommend hiring a local contractor / builder and just use us to help you in the design part (through our Design Chat).
We made sure that the inclusions in all our packages are the most essential tools that anyone will need to jumpstart their design quest. But we do understand that some will have more requirements than others. (e.g Custom cabinet detailing, thorough sourcing/specification, styling services etc)
We willconstantly update our Top-Ups to cover the other items that will be helpful for you during construction! Keep following us in our Instagram and Facebook (@anaffordablespace) page for announcements and updates!

Get the Floor Area of the Room (Space) you want to design.
If you're unsure with your Floor Area / Size of Room, you can send us a copy of your space's floor plan (Simple Plan Sketch) OR actual photos of your space in our Instagram or Facebook page (@anaffordablespace). We can assist you in getting the preliminary Floor Area / Size of Room before your proceed with your Design Package order.
This preliminay Floor Area / Size of Room can still be verified during Design Chat using the detailed Measuring Guide that we'll provide. Incase your space turns out to be bigger than 25sqm, you can add the Bigger Room Top-up later on.
"sqm" stands for square meter.
"sqft" stands for square foot.
The maximum Size of Room for ANAFFORDABLE SPACE design project (with Top-Up) is 50 square meter or 540 square feet. This is to ensure quality of our designs.
If your size of room exceeds50 square meter or 540 square feet, we recommend signing up for 2 rooms (meaning 2 packages), this sometimes happen if you have dual-living space or an open plan layout (ie living and dining)
Measure the generallength & width of the Room (Space) you want to design. To know the Floor Area, just multiply the length & width of your space like this:
METERS:
Floor Area (sqm) =
Length (m) x Width (m)
____________
FEET:
Floor Area (sqft) =
Length (ft) x Width ft)
Better to make a "Simple Plan Sketch" of your space already. We'll ask for this during our Design Chat. For easier computation, convert your Feet-Inches fraction to Feet in Decimal.
"m" is meter, while"sqm" is square meter.
"ft" is foot, while"sqft" is square foot.
You can compute it manually, or you can also visit the link befor for the online calculator. Just scroll to the bottom of the page to find this:
A Simple Plan Sketch is a simple floor plan of your enclosed space. It should give us an idea of your room's:
general shape
location of doors and windows
basic measurements like length, width, floor area and height.
It doesnt have to be perfectly drawn, but please make sure its readable.
Incase you don't have this, don't worry! We can provide you with a detailed Measuring Guide to help you double check your room's dimension during our Design Chat.
You can do it manually or digitally.
Use any kind of measuring tape you have to measure your room.
Get Graphing Paper & Pen to draw your room. (or download a Grid Sheet to draw with your phone). Use the box of grid/graph as reference in drawing. 1 grid = 1meter OR 1 grid = 1foot.
Mark where the door & windows are located. Send this Simple Plan Sketch during our Design Chat.
Download a censor measuring app on your phone, like Magic Plan. You can download Magic Plan via these links: App Store or Google Playstore.
This app can scan your room thru your device's camera and automatically translate your room into a Simple Plan Sketch.
You can watch this tutorial video we found in Youtube.
We simplified our design process into 4 easy steps:
You can get started on your design project in a few easy steps! Once you're ready, choose a design package you want to get for your room. Review your cart and pay at checkout. We begin with Design Chat as soon as you receive your payment confirmation email. Its a 1-on-1 chat with your designer where we'll ask you to fill out a design questionaire and send more details about your space and design style (ie photos/ videos of your space, colors / patterns you like and dislike, design theme you want, etc.). After that, all you have to do is sit back, relax and get your design!
During Design Chat, we get the following details from you:
Photos (as many as possible)
Video (walkthrough so you can storytell your ideas for your space.) *Optional but encouranged.
Simple Plan Sketch or measurements of your space.
Selected final Design Theme & 2-3 Design Inspiration Photos
Additional Information will be asked for commercial space orders:
logo & brand colors (overall design brief)
guidelines / requirements
as-built drawings (floor plan, elevations, sections, ceiling plans etc.)
We will also send you a simple Design Questionaire that you need to fill out and send back to us. Once we get all the info we need, we'll ask you for a go signal to proceed with 3D design. The next thing you do is to sit back, relax and wait for your design! We will also mark the end of Design Chat once the design is approved or when there are no more additional revision and / or top-up requests.
No. We don't accept links of any personal Google Drive during Design Chat. For 3 or more package orders, we will prepare a Google Drive folder for you. This is where you will upload all the details / information we need per space. We do this to consolidate all details / information provided and avoid any confusion during Design Chat.
If you ordered less than 3 packages but you still prefer to send big files, zip files or PDF files that can't be sent in the Design Chat, you can email them at hello@anaffordablespace.com instead.
No. We don't accept any external links from our Customer during Design Chat. We prefer that you filter through your design inspiration photos and pegs and send us the top 2-3 photos that you like per space. This is to make sure that we know which photos you like best and avoid any miscommunication in the design direction you want us to follow.
Right now, we only have Design Chat in Instagram Messenger and Facebook Messenger (@anaffordablespace). We do however, prefer Instagram Messenger since we can directly include our Design Team in the Design Chat and they can directly read your requests and comments about the design. We also allow a maximum of 3 persons from the Customer's side to be part of the Design Chat.
No. The Design Chat included in all our packages are strictly a chat via messenger only. We don't accept voice calls or video calls with our Customers.
We do not recommend this. As we want to ensure that the Design Team can easily track the multiple Design Chats we handle daily, we follow a consistent sequence of information gathering during Design Chat. The Design Chat will be more effective if you let our Design Team lead the flow and guide you thru the process. However, we need our Customers to ensure the correctness of all the information provided to avoid any incorrect measurements or design discrepancies later on.
The duration & flow of the Design Chat will depend on how soon you can provide all the details / information we need to design your space. We don't skip on the Design Chat to make sure you get value for your money. In case your project has time constraints and you are in a hurry to see your design, here are ways on how to shorten Design Chat:
Make sure you have a scaled floor plan (with verified measurements if applicable)
Double check actual site measurements.
Take lots of site photos and videos of your space
Measure and take photos of the existing furniture you want to reuse
Prepare 2-3 design inspiration photos that you like
You can also read more about this here.
Just let us know during Design Chat that we can use whatever floor plan you have as our reference. However, please note that we won't be held responsible for any discrepancy in the actual site measurements and the designs we make based from your unverified floor plans.
We always recommend our Customers to find time in measuring their actual space. Especially for the following instances:
The floor plan provided has discrepancies with actual site photos.
There is no actual floor plan provided, only a rough sketch.
No ceiling height indicated and different ceiling heights and protruding beams (based on actual site photos)
Initial provided measurements do not close or have big discrepancies
There are existing built-ins & loose furniture pieces you want to reuse
In case you want to shorten the Design Chat, we recommend verifying all site measurements before Design Chat begins.

Questions about (and related to) the Rendered Image.
Questions about (and related to) the Rendered Image and Furniture Layout.

Here are some example scenarios:

Yes, we’ll be more than happy to include pieces you already own. During our Design Chat, we’ll ask you a series of questions about your room and you’ll be able to tell our Design Team if there are exisiting pieces you want us to include.
With no additional cost, our design team can find stand-ins for a maximum of 2 of your existing piece(s) from our 3D catalog. These stand-ins are NOT the 3D models of your exact piece. These will be look-alike piece substitutes that’s a close match in color/size/shape.
Incase you want us to 3D Model your exact furniture/decor piece, get the 3D Exist Top-Up.
We recommend upgrading your Packageor getting aDesign Chat + Top-up.
