First home buyer stupid question. Realistically how much would it cost for a cosmetic make over/rennovation of a 2 bedroom 2 bathroom apartment in Sydney ?

Good evening everyone,

Sorry for the stupid question, I have no trade or renovation background and I literally just finished settlement a few hours ago so forgive my ignorance. Although I am overall happy with purchasing my first home I am now in the 'future renovation brainstorming' stage.

The apartment I bought is a spacious 114 square meter (well compared to newer apartments I have looked at) 2 bedroom 2 bathroom old 90s brick building which is livable but its clear the previous owners were investors who put little effort into the place and it shows obvious signs of wear and tear with dated bathrooms and kitchen.

I intend on living in it forever so I'm already planning things like replacing carpets with floorboards, new blinds and fresh coat of paint. However long term (like over the years) I want to renovate the kitchen, main bathroom and ensuite bathroom as a I want a newer and modern look. I have no intention of making major plumbing changes or re-arranging the layout just a brand new modern look.

I just wanted to know realistically how much this venture would actually cost so I can start budgeting and saving for the future ? Or am I way in over my head ? I'm not looking for exact figures because I know every renovation is different and costs vary but I still want a general number to work towards.

Thank you very much for your time and have a good night.
