3 Expert Tips to Help You Prepare for Your Home Renovation

It may appear that HGTV can magically “complete” a home renovation in 30 minutes, but we all know that’s simply just not the case! Starting a home renovation is super exciting, though it can also be overwhelming, particularly if you haven’t been through the process before. Offering proper expert guidance and support, we help make the process as stress-free as possible, while also avoiding unnecessary costs and pitfalls along the way.

Beginning with a Detailed Plan

Ideally, you’ll want to begin planning 6 to 12 months before actually starting your project. Ups and downs during the renovation process are not uncommon, with moments of downright messiness sprinkled in between! Having a custom, detailed plan is vital in minimizing stress levels, while keeping your project on budget and on schedule. With patience and endurance, the reward in the end will be very much worth it!

Tip #1. Trust in Your Designer’s Experience & Expertise

As a highly experienced Interior Designer, I’m expertly skilled in the art and science of helping clients with complex decisions concerning layout, flow and major changes within a home. Additionally, I help clients with selecting personalized color palettes, furniture pieces, accessories, window and wall coverings, and so much more. I love getting to know your preferences and needs while turning your dreams into home-sweet-home realities!

Tip #2. Make Adjustments to Your Lifestyle

Whether or not you should live in your home during construction depends on the type of work being done, and how patient you can be. If undergoing a major kitchen renovation, consider creating a makeshift space to cook and eat, and plan to remove all your dishes and small appliances over to this space. If planning a whole home renovation, temporarily moving out completely may be your best bet to minimize stressors and inconveniences.
