To get the best results from your home remodeling project, you must take your time in planning it and obtain advice from expert contractors. Here are some tips to help you.
Before you make choices on colors, finishes and other components, first decide on how you want to use the space inside your home. For example, if you love to entertain guests or if you are considering future expansion of your living space, then your remodeling plan should include an open floor plan. Deciding on specialty equipment like walk-in tubs, purpose lighting and rainshower heads early on in the planning stage can help you decide if a particular contractor is right for your project.
If you can’t find a good starting point, map out your priorities first. Don’t worry about availability, cost or brand, but just throw what you think would be nice to have on your project. Not second-guessing yourself can open up design possibilities that you probably wouldn’t have considered if you’re always looking out for its price tag.
Once you have your project overview, start fleshing out your project according to your priorities. This helps you decide which components to keep and which ones to swap out or eliminate altogether. For example, an authentic look may be a priority in an historic home, but might not be in a home of recent vintage. Your priorities will be one of your main references when you finalize your plans with your new addition contractors.
Treating your indoor and outdoor spaces as two separate areas is a missed opportunity at creating a harmonious living space. Instead, think of your yard as an area that’s merely separated by a patio door or picture windows. Treating your outdoor space as an extension of your indoor area lets you maximize use of your property and create better flow between both areas.
