Renovation idea tips and advice for home, home-office or office renovation for professional renovating experts or Perth DIY renovators.
1. Prepare your Perth home
Remove curtains and other things that may collect dust/allergens
- Cover furniture
- Set aside the fragile and expensive objects
- Remove unnecessary items and items inside cabinets/closets
- Put your essentials in a box
2. Go for efficiency
Choosing to be efficient doesn’t just give you more space, but also gains in the long term since you’ll be cutting down possible costs for additional furniture and remodeling. If you need to upgrade your furniture, visit an auction or wait for bargains/sales for more savings.
3. Good natural light
Don’t hastily put a big hole in your wall just to add windows for more light to come in. You can brighten your home without buying an additional window by rearranging some objects or installing a light tube to distribute more light.
4. Donate your extra items
When decluttering, you can donate or sell some of your extra items to organizations and recycling centres. This way, you can save space in the landfill, contribute to a good cause, or help a neighbour in need of your items.
5. Repaint renovated rooms
When you come inside a room, the first thing you would notice is the colour. This is why a simple paint job can do the trick to change the overall feel of your rooms. If you have decorating mistakes in the past, you can coat them with white paint. Give your washed-out and dreary walls a makeover by coating them in colours that will match their purpose.
6. Renovation Budget
Depending on your budget and renovation plans, setting a limit so you won’t go overboard will save you from additional costs and stress. For starters, you can allocate a specific budget per room and stick to it.
If you have some extra materials or money from renovating other rooms, you can reallocate it to the next room instead so you can maximise your resources. Mixing and matching materials can also add a flair to your room due to its variety.
7. Perth Renovation help
Make a schedule on when you plan to do most of the projects and invite some friends or loved ones to share the work. You can also ask other people who have successfully renovated their homes on a budget for advice or opinions to guide you in the process.
