Renovating your home can be exciting but also challenging. While a designer like Lifetime Building Services Limited can help, there are a few things you, as a homeowner, can do to ensure the process goes smoothly. Here are some key Do’s and Don’ts to keep in mind.
Do’s
✔️ Set a Realistic Budget
A clear budget is essential. Factor in materials, labor, permits, and any unexpected costs. For example, if you’re renovating a kitchen, don’t forget to budget for new appliances and installation.
✔️ Communicate Your Ideas Clearly
Share your vision with your designer. Show them pictures or designs you love, whether from Pinterest or a magazine. The more specific you are, the better they can bring your ideas to life.
✔️ Think Long-Term
Choose durable materials and features that will last, such as energy-efficient appliances or long-lasting flooring. While they may cost a little more upfront, they’ll save you money over time.
Don’ts
❌ Don’t Make Frequent Changes
Changing the design halfway through can delay your project and add costs. Stick to your plan and trust the design process.
❌ Don’t Ignore the Details
Details like lighting and cabinet hardware can make a big difference in your space’s overall feel.
