Top Home Renovations and How to Plan for Them

January 22, 2020 by Juliann Leave a Comment

Buying a new home can feel like a new life, and like every New Year, you have a chance to reinvent that life. You don’t have to wait for a specific date to go by, but you do need to wait until you are ready to make the decisions that you will be happiest with the longest. It’s all too easy to get caught up in a kitchen trend you see in a home magazine only to later on realize you hate it or that it is impractical for a family (or anyone, for that matter).

That is why it is important to know which renovations you can start with right away, and which ones you should give yourself time to design and plan.

Renovations You Can Start Now

Some changes don’t have high stakes, which means they can be done right away once you move in and in fact, might be better done quickly rather than later on.

Storage Throughout the Home

If the home is small, then you don’t want to waste precious storage space filling it with dressers and cupboards. Instead, bring in custom shelving specialists and have each closet fitted out so that you can actually use the vertical space in your closet effectively.

A Fresh Coat of Paint

Clearing off the previous owner’s walls (if there was wallpaper) and freshening it up is a great move. If you are thinking of adding color, however, hold off until everything is in your home, and you can determine which color scheme will work best. If you are planning color, then prep the walls instead with primer so that you are all ready to go when the time comes.

New Floors

If the carpet is wearing thin, then get it out of there before you move in. The perfect time to replace the carpet is when there is no furniture in your property. Except for kitchen and bathroom tile, you can also easily choose a harmonious, timeless flooring option that all of your furniture present and future will look great with.

Renovations That Should Wait

Bigger renovation projects should not be rushed into. Doing so can only run the risk of overspending.

Kitchen

Give yourself at least six months to live in and truly understand how your family lives and enjoys the kitchen that your property came with. Hate it all you want for its design, but it was and is a functioning kitchen, and you need to know what works and what doesn’t when it comes to the renovation.

In the meantime, save and narrow down ideas and then find a great contractor like Nonpareilsolutions.co.uk that will help you put those ideas into a working design they can then bring to life.

Bathroom

Bathrooms can be fairly straight forward, but at the same time, you also need to know what frustrations your family will have before committing to an upgrade. If the issue is that there is only one shower that your family uses between all of you, a pretty upgrade is never going to fix that, and only a new shower installation in another bathroom will.
