TIPS TO CONSIDER WHEN RENOVATING YOUR HOME

You are renovating because you want your house to look more beautiful and feel more comfortable. The key to renovating your house on a budget yet beautifully, is primarily to plan the entire process effectively. Let’s look at some ways you can renovate your house beautifully yet economically:


MAKE A FLOOR PLAN

As mentioned earlier effective planning is the key to effective renovation. Develop a plan that clearly defines the goal for your renovation. Making product selections early can prevent delays later. Proper planning can also help keep you on budget. You'll end up making the same decisions, but you'll know what they're going to be and what they're going to cost ahead of time.


DECIDE YOUR BUDGET

When looking to renovate your house, it is important for you to decide the total expenditure requirements/limit. Start by determining the amount you want to spend and then finalize your financing. Remember to reserve at least 10% of your budget for unexpected costs.


MAKE A HOME RENOVATION TIMELINE

Begin planning by selecting a desired start date. You and your contractor can work out the length of time needed for each portion of the project. Determine which part of the remodel needs to be completed first and which parts of the project can be completed concurrently. Make sure your renovation timeline allows time for shipping and delivery of materials as well as time for prepping the project area. The renovation completion date should be set with a few extra days in mind to address unexpected issues.


PAINT AFFECTS LIGHTING

Painting affects lighting and when renovating your home you might opt for a new paint. You might love a paint colour you saw at a friend’s house or on a renovation show, but that doesn’t mean you’ll love it in your home. The lighting of a room has an incredible impact on how a certain paint colour will look. The best way to see how the light works in your space is to do a few test spots on the walls. Choose different walls so you can see how the colour looks at various times during the day. You can then adjust the colour a few shades darker or lighter to get the exact look you’re after.


LIGHT COMES THROUGH THE WINDOW

Half the experience of living indoors is seeing the outdoors; so when remodeling your house install large windows. However, you might not have the budget to change your windows in that case play around with paint and paint your windows a shade lighter than the rest of the room to maximize the light coming through the windows.


SMALL ROOMS DON'T HAVE TO LOOK SMALL

If you are renovating to make a small house look bigger then an inexpensive and beautiful way of achieving that goal is to use mirrors. It’s an inexpensive but effective technique. Mirrors reflect both natural and artificial light to make a room brighter during the day and night. Placing a mirror near a window to reflect the world outside is especially effective.


 

Renovating your home is not an easy task to do; so it is important that you outline the scope and hire the contractor that not only provides you innovative renovation ideas but also helps you evaluate and monitor the progress of the complete home renovation project.
