People ofter started their renovation project without knowing the common mistakes done by the house owners. Proper planning and having the thorough renovation picture is essential.
People often prefer to purchase cheap materials for their house renovation. However they don’t realize that cheap materials are often inferior in quality.
In case you are short of funds, then it is better to wait rather than go ahead with inferior quality material.
Even a minor discrepancy matters a lot. If you have not got the dimensions right, then you cannot attain symmetry. This will mar the overall look of your house.
If you are not sure about the correct way to measure, then it is better to seek help from any person who is adept at this task. You can ask an expert to do the needful and take the measurements accurately.
It is important to do things in the right manner right from the beginning. Never skip the prep work. Although it is a time consuming task, it is better to do it immediately.
It may seem to be a cumbersome task which is disliked by everyone, yet it will help you in the long run by helping you to save your time and money.
It is better to plan everything properly before you begin your renovation. You don’t have to jump in and clear everything at the same time when you can easily break it into modules and work on selected areas at a time.
I have often seen people planning to just pull some wallpaper off and eventually they end up removing a lot more, thus making it tough for them to proceed ahead.
If you are planning to have a small bathroom then you need to purchase small sized toilets. Ensure that the sinks too are not too wide. Avoid purchasing full sized fixtures as they will make your bathroom look congested and crowded.
If you use bolder, brighter colors and vibrant prints then they are sure to enhance the look off your small bathroom.
Many homeowners often forget considering the lighting issues in their houses. The lighting can entirely modify the look, feel and ambience of your home.
Lighting can broadly be categorized into three types: task lighting, general lighting & drama or accent lighting. It is ideal to have a perfect combination to get the best results.
People often tend to imitate the hip crowd and try to include the newest and trendiest accessories and gadgets. However they fail to understand that fashion is quite volatile and trends can change pretty fast.
It is better to stick to trends which never fade and lasts for a long time.
It is important to look at the whole floor plan before you plan the size of the doorway. Try to include more than one exit for all the rooms. The size of the doorways should be such that more than one person can easily pass through.
It is common for people to select the wrong paint for their projects. You need to know that there is a specific type of paint for different types of surfaces.
Flat paint is apt for ceilings and walls. The semi-gloss paints are ideal for the bathroom as well as the dining room. The glossy look gives the room a modern look.
It is better to design big hallways and staircases when you plan the design of your renovation.
As windows are quite costly people try to save money by selecting inferior and incorrect windows.
It is better to select good windows for the front of the house, which faces the street and you can opt for simple windows for the rest of the house. However never compromise on the quality.
You need to be prepared for the entire renovation process. If you have hired a contractor, then also you need to know what is happening. By doing this you can easily monitor the progress and ensure that the quality and accuracy is maintained.
Doing some ground work before deciding to renovate your home is a good idea.
People often ignore the electrical system as it is not directly visible. The high cost deters them from updating their electrical systems. You need to get an electrician to inspect the house before discussing the issues pertaining to the current location of the outlets and where you propose to have them after renovation. You need to ensure that everything is up to the mark.
People tend to miscalculate the expenses needed to undertake a major renovation work. They fail to calculate the labour cost.
You cannot be sure of what will happen after the demolition process. It is possible to have sudden unforeseen expenses arising at the time of renovation and hence it is better to be prepared.
In case you begin your renovation work without procuring the needed permits then you may not be able to avail the homeowner’s insurance when the need arises.
It is important to choose the right contractor as he is going to be associated with you for the entire renovation process.
You can ask for references while interviewing the prospective contractors. You should find out whether they are able to meet the deadlines and how promptly they attend to you. In case the contractor attends your calls promptly then you can be assured that he is professional and is transparent in all his dealings.
