Why choose Avenir Renovations?
Why renovate the interior of your home in Leuven?
Renovating the interior is not just a matter of decoration. It is about aligning the home with those who live in it.
Adapting the rooms to your current life
A kitchen cut off from the living room, a bedroom too small for a teenager, no quiet place to work. These situations are common in houses built between the 1950s and 1980s.
In a bel-étage, the ground floor often offers the best reserve of space: a little-used garage can become a bedroom, an office, or a playroom, provided that the floor insulation and light entry are addressed.
Modernizing the living environment
New coverings, open kitchen, rethought lighting, integrated storage: the overall effect creates a brighter and more livable home.
A coherent interior, where materials and colors respond from one room to another, also enhances the perceived value of the property during resale or rental.
Gaining energy comfort
Interior renovation is the right time to insulate a basement ceiling, double a cold wall, or replace undersized radiators according to the new layout.
These interventions improve comfort room by room and contribute to the EPC label, which matters in Flanders if you have purchased a property rated E or F.

What is the price of an interior renovation in Leuven?
The budget depends on the rooms involved, the surfaces, the materials, and the share of technical work. For a workspace, our page on the office renovation price provides precise benchmarks. Price ranges including VAT, based on the 6% rate applicable to homes over ten years old.
| Type of work | Factors affecting the price | Indicative price including VAT |
| Refresh (painting, floors, minor repairs) | Condition of supports, choice of coverings | 200 to 450 € / m² |
| Complete interior renovation with techniques | Electricity, plumbing, floors, finishes | 550 to 1,000 € / m² |
| Insulated plasterboard partition (Gyproc) | Height, acoustic insulation | 55 to 95 € / m² |
| Plastering of walls and ceilings | Condition of the support, surface | 25 to 45 € / m² |
| Electrical compliance of a house | Size, condition of the panel, number of circuits | 6,000 to 13,000 € |
| Replacement of radiators and piping | Number of radiators, access | 4,000 to 10,000 € |
| Conversion of a bel-étage garage into a living space | Insulation, window, floor, procedures | 18,000 to 40,000 € |
We estimate each room and each option separately after the visit, so you can make informed choices and, if necessary, spread out the work.
Example: for a three-bedroom row house in Kessel-Lo, an interior renovation with new electricity, plastering, new floors on the ground floor, and complete painting often ranges between 45,000 and 75,000 euros including VAT, excluding kitchen and bathroom.
Procedures and grants for an interior renovation in Leuven
The electrical inspection at the end of the project
In Belgium, a new or significantly modified electrical installation must be inspected by an accredited organization according to the RGIE before being put into service. This inspection is also required when selling a property. We integrate it into the end-of-project schedule.
Asbestos in interior materials
In a house built before 2001, certain tile adhesives, old floor tiles, or panels around heating may contain asbestos. The asbestos certificate provided at purchase typically indicates these materials. These materials must be removed before demolition, following strict rules, to protect occupants and workers.
Permits, VAT, and assistance
An interior renovation that does not affect the structure or the use of the rooms generally does not require a permit. Regarding VAT, a renovation entrusted to a company in a property over ten years old benefits from a rate of 6%. There is no regional grant for finishes, but insulation carried out during the project may be subsidized for income categories 3 and 4.
Smoke detectors
In Flanders, every dwelling must be equipped with at least one smoke detector per floor. An interior renovation is the ideal time to place them in the right spots, or even to install interconnected models.
Deadlines and renovation room by room
A duration that depends on the techniques
For a three-bedroom house, a complete interior renovation generally takes two to four months depending on the extent of the technical work. Refreshing a few rooms can be done in a few weeks.
Plastering and screeds require non-compressible drying times: these often dictate the pace of the site.
Renovating a single room is possible
A kitchen, a bathroom, or a bedroom can be renovated alone. It is simply checked that the planned technical work will not need to be redone during a future renovation of adjacent rooms.
Frequently asked questions about interior renovation in Leuven
What should you start with for an interior renovation?
Start with the hidden techniques in the walls and floors: electricity, plumbing, heating, then any partitions to be moved. Plastering, flooring, and painting come next. Starting with the finishes almost always requires them to be redone.
How to limit dust during an interior renovation?
Construction areas are closed off with partitions or tarps, cuts are made as much as possible outside, and tools are connected to vacuum cleaners. Daily cleaning of passage areas completes the process, especially when you live in the house during the work.
Should the electricity of an old house be redone?
In a house with an installation over thirty years old, it is often necessary: panel without suitable differentials, overloaded circuits, absence of ground. An interior renovation is the right time, as the walls are open anyway.
Can you renovate the interior of a rented house?
Yes, in agreement with the tenant or between two rentals. The work must then comply with the Flemish quality standards applicable to rented housing, particularly for electricity, ventilation, and fire safety.
Renovate while continuing to live at home
Most interior renovations can be done while staying on site, provided the site is organized by zones. Start with the rooms you can do without, keeping a functional kitchen or bathroom for as long as possible.
