Menu Sometimes beginning a renovation can be a daunting task. Without a vision the project can seem overwhelming. Where to even begin you ask? We have some tips to help you out:
Clear Out Your Room
Start out with a blank space so you can get a good view of your room’s flaws and determine how they can be fixed. Clearing the space of all the clutter can help de-clutter your mind and give you a chance to envision new ideas for the room.
Determine Your Needs
Determine how you want to use the room. Will it have the same function as it did before? What do you need in the room to achieve these needs? Do you need to remove walls or change the current layout and flow of the room? What do you need to purchase for the room? Who do you need to hire to achieve the work that needs to be done?
Measure, Once, Twice, Three Times
It’s always important to measure your room so you know what items will fit in the room. This will also help you when it comes to painting the room, installing new flooring, and planning the space.
Hire Professionals
There are professionals out there for almost every aspect of a renovation. You may consider hiring a contractor for a large remodel as they will assist you with every step of the process. There are professionals out there who can help you with your space planning; many companies offer 3D visuals of your room to show you what it could look like with some remodeling. You should always hire professionals for work like construction, electrical and plumbing to ensure that all your renovation is meeting all the codes and has proper permits. Lastly, you can hire professionals like us who can customize your room with custom drywall and moulding.
Create a Budget and Timeline
Once you contact the professionals that you need to hire, you can start determining your budget. Start with the big costs that are non-negotiable and see how much money you have left to spend on the finer detail items like your flooring, furniture, lighting, accessories, etc. Contacting the professionals will help you create your timeline as well as trades may not be available at the exact times that you want them.
Start Your Plan and Make a List
Play with floor plan configurations and decide on the items that you need for the room. Always check your budget to make sure that the items you want fit within it. Make a list of all the items you need and want as well as the projects that need to be completed. Checking off the items as they are completed will help you stay on task and within your timeline.
Start Your Shopping
Now comes the fun part where you can start figuring out the details of every element. It’s always good to start with an inspiration piece that can help you determine the colours and style of the room. This inspiration piece can help you pick paint colours, accent pieces, light fixtures, and everything you will need for the room.
