Confident remodeling decisions are born of experience, careful planning and some know-how provided by your remodelers. Read on for tips on how to make design decisions confidently while planning your home remodel!
Things to Keep in Mind
Plan Ahead
Not everyone has a clear vision of their project in their head from the very beginning. A typical homeowner has ideas for certain aspects of the project, like the color palette or a certain type of material. Sometimes they go in with just the knowledge that they’re not happy with their bathroom and want to change it.
Planning ahead can help you create a good remodeling plan and work out what you want and don’t want. You can have all the time you need to take notes of how you use your home, which parts are working and which parts need improvement. Having a good, solid plan early on will help you make important decisions before and during your remodel.
Take Measurements
Your remodeler will take their own measurements when you meet for a kitchen or bathroom estimate. Nevertheless, knowing the dimensions of your home can be helpful when you’re considering planning a room layout or trying to figure out if a particular cabinet design will work. It may even save you from a costly do-over caused by measurement errors.
Be Familiar With Industry Terms
There are several benefits to familiarizing yourself with terms specific to building and remodeling. It helps keep you and your remodeler on the same page, as well as prevent misunderstandings. More importantly, it will help you make quick decisions since you won’t be asking your remodeler to explain the terms.
Communicate With Your Remodeler
Communication is a key ingredient in creating a good remodeling plan. Even if you’re leaving the design to your remodeler, they still need to know whether it will work with your style, taste and remodeling objective. If you don’t like a certain color or texture, say so. If a suggested color combination speaks to you, let your remodeler know. The more information you give your remodeler, the more “you” the final plans will be. At the same time, this will give you more confidence with your decisions.
