At Studio by Clikalia , we’re experts in comprehensive renovations and have extensive experience with projects of this size. That’s why, in this guide, we’ll provide a detailed overview to help you plan your project in 2026.
Key factors that determine the price of a complete remodeling project
The cost of renovating a 70 square meter apartment can vary significantly. Understanding what influences the price is fundamental to manage your budget. The most relevant factors are:
Scope of the project (integral vs. partial)
It is not the same to reform a single room than to undertake a complete renovation of the house. A complete renovation involves a transformation from scratch, covering all areas and, often, changes in the distribution. A partial renovation focuses on specific areas such as the kitchen or bathroom. Logically, a full renovation, being more complete and deeper, will be more expensive than a partial renovation, but also more rewarding.
Property size
The number of square meters to be renovated is a direct factor in the cost. More surface area means more materials, more man hours and a longer process. For that reason, in this post we will focus on the cost for a 70m2 apartment.
The quality of the materials chosen
The price range of materials is very wide. From tiles and flooring to faucets and sanitary ware, the choice between basic, medium or high quality will have a direct impact on the final budget.
In Studio by Clikalia we study in detail each project to be able to offer a budget that fits, in all aspects, to the client. But in general, these are the price ranges depending on the quality of the materials:
- Basic qualities: Between 800 and 900 €/m².
- Average qualities: Between 900 and 1000 €/m².
- High qualities: From 1,100 €/m².
Complexity of execution
Projects involving structural modifications, layout changes or relocation of facilities (plumbing, electricity, heating) are more complex and therefore more costly. An open design or the installation of home automation or energy efficiency systems increase the complexity and price, although they can lead to savings in the long term.
Geographic location
The cost of labor and the availability of certain materials may vary by city or region. In large urban centers, prices tend to be higher, which may be related to higher demand and cost of living.
Typical components of a 70 m2 integral reform
A comprehensive renovation encompasses a number of specialized jobs. Understanding each item will help you visualize where the budget is going:
- Demolitions: Removing partitions, cladding, installation chases, old installations, etc. to make the space ready for new construction.
- Masonry: Construction of new partition walls, false ceilings, floor screeds, plastering, etc.
- Wall coverings: Installation of tiles, floors, pavements in kitchen, bathrooms and other rooms.
- Plumbing and heating: Complete renovation of hot and cold water installations, including piping, drains, radiators, boiler, etc.
- Electricity: New electrical installation, including wiring, light points, mechanisms, etc.
- Exterior carpentry: Replacement of windows and exterior doors.
- Interior carpentry: Fitting of interior doors, built-in closets, custom-made furniture, etc.
- Painting: Painting of walls and ceilings throughout the house.
- Kitchen and bathroom furniture: Installation of kitchen and bathroom furniture, including countertops, bathroom fixtures, faucets, etc.
How much will it really cost to renovate a 70-square-meter house in 2026?
Based on the most common price ranges for basic and mid-range quality, the cost of renovating a 70-square-meter apartment in 2026 could generally range from €49,000 to €63,000.
Tips to optimize your renovation budget
Renovating your 70 square meter apartment can be an important investment. If you have a limited budget or if you simply want to optimize it, you have to take into account these details
Prioritizing the essentials
Define what is really urgent and necessary. Structural problems, humidities or obsolete installations should be the priority. If the budget is limited, you can approach the renovation in phases, starting with the most functional areas such as kitchen and bathrooms.
Material selection
At Studio by Clikalia we always recommend choosing good quality materials that offer durability, which are not always the most expensive options. Materials such as vinyl flooring, large format tiles or modular furniture can be cheaper alternatives with good design.
Detailed planning and appropriate professionals
A thorough planning with a detailed project helps to avoid unforeseen events and additional costs. Hiring a renovation studio like Studio by Clikalia that has professional and reliable architects, interior designers and technicians, who manage the entire process with a 360º approach, can save you money and headaches, ensuring that deadlines and budgets are met.
