Annually, at the beginning of the year, we will see a number of people move into a new home or give their home some renovation. In most cases, a home renovation package will be chosen but some may choose to do it in stages. In fact, this option is great for those who plan to renovate while keeping their budget.
It could be hard to kick-start the renovation as you might have no idea where to start. In some cases, the renovation might cost them an arm and a leg so they rather put a stop to their imagination of a dream home.
However, you can follow these 5 tips to renovate your home without any hitch:
DIVIDE AND CONQUER
The key to a perfect home renovation is effective planning. If you are renovating by yourself, you need to focus on both the bigger and smaller picture. You need to keep your needs in mind and set a goal for every space in your house. If you have the extra money to hire an architect, he will guide you to evaluate your demand and renovate accordingly.
BUDGET
Since you are not familiar with the cost of a home renovation, it is important that you decide on the total limit of expenditure. It is important to keep in mind that you should never go over your budget and you can renovate more the next time your budget is secured.
RESEARCH
Do your research on home renovation if you do not have any. You might be surprised at the variation of options available, related to your renovation plan. However, some websites and stores might charge an exorbitant price for your preferred furniture, paint and decoration. Hence, you need to make full use of online shopping, a local grocer and second-hand furniture stores.
PAINT EFFECTS LIGHTING
The first few things that you should pay attention to while renovating is the paint. You might want to change the color of your wall every once in a while. You are advised to do so if it is within your budget. However, remember to choose your color wisely. This is because every paint color affects the lighting in your house. Choosing a shade from the black or white palette will give your house a more sophisticated, modern look. Plus, you can never go wrong with those shades.
KITCHEN AND STORAGE
You might want to increase your kitchen size to maximize your storage space. This is indeed a good solution for your cluttered kitchenware and ingredients. No one understands your kitchen space better than you do, therefore you should try building a DIY kitchen cabinet using the material from your old cabinet. This will help you save some amount of money and you also get to build one that is tailored to your needs. If storage is not a major concern for you at the moment, you might want to give your kitchen a new layer of paint. A slight change of scenery would not hurt and it might help to boost your mood.
BATHROOM AND FLOOR RENOVATION
Equipment for bathroom renovation usually costs a fortune. If it is still within your budget, you might want to consider changing the layout. Moving or replacing your shower head can improve your shower experience if you make the right choice. Try searching for a decorative shower head that may cater to your liking and need. You might also want to consider changing your bathroom tiles to the non-slippery ones to ensure a safer environment for you and your family.
For a beginner, try creating a goal for yourself before you start renovating. Picture yourself in your upgraded house and you may start small to pick out the concept that you actually want for the renovation.
