When planning a design for any room, you must firstly think about space and style. If you are decorating a room that will be used frequently, you need to first think about the colours and trends of the moment. If your room is small, then making use of space is going to be a vital element. The more you utilise your space, the better it will look and feel. After endlessly trolling through Pinterest, perhaps you have finally found a design that resonates. Add extra storage wherever possible, this can be done with the use of shelving and multipurpose furniture such as Ottomans. If you are wanting to expand the space further, you can maximise the effect of hanging wall art, but make sure that you hang it at eye level so that it brings things together better and expands the space where it is needed.

What colours inspire? Often the colours that we use will add vibrancy and light to the area, such as pastels and whites. Darker tones can add cosiness but do not suffocate your room with too many fussy walls, dark colours and too much wall art.

Exterior

The garden area can be a place to spend time when the summer seasons arrive. In this case, you should consider purchasing some furniture that is in keeping with your styles and tastes. Take a look at any areas outdoors that need attention, such as holes in porches, broken pathways and mould. They will gather around the windows. Is the roof damaged or weather-beaten? If this is the case, you should consider residential roofing.

Keep to your budget

More often than not, we will have to achieve a certain look based on our budgets. Thankfully, you can find a plethora of incredible items for the home at second hand and/or vintage stores instead of paying full price. In order to achieve a fresh style for your renovation, you must be sure that you have a budget set. It’s advisable to start with some understanding of what is more important to you and what is less, make a list in order of priority. During any renovation process, your desires, ideas, could well be halted due to certain problems that arise. For example, a kitchen remodel may be jeopardised if the electrics need rewiring. A living room remodel may be tricky if you find that there is a leak from pipes. Meticulous planning will go a long way to achieving the very best remodel which is going to also add long term value to your home. Prioritise what is best for your home, room by room and leave added extra budget in case something should go wrong.

Here is a tip from the experts: leave a “margin” of about 20% -10% beyond the budget you planned in favour of exceptions because, with renovations, there are always surprises.

Now that you have read the article above, you should hopefully have a good understanding of home design that can help you with your exciting new house project.
