Undertaking a renovation project is an exciting endeavor, but it requires careful planning and consideration. Here are some considerations before starting a renovation project.

1. Set Intentions and Budget:
   • Know What You Want: Clearly define what changes you want to make. Also, consider whether you’re renovating to increase your home’s value, modernize the space, or to better meet your needs.
   • Budget Wisely: Determine your budget and add a buffer (around 10-15%) for unexpected expenses. Remember to keep in mind costs for any interior design help and if you need alternative housing during the renovation.

2. Prioritize Your Goals:

1. • Set Priorities: Firstly, decide which rooms or areas you want to renovate most. Consider sustainable design, style longevity, and functionality. Prioritize what matters most to you.
   • Know Your Non-Negotiables: Identify aspects you’re not willing to sacrifice. For example, if you want more natural light, prioritize windows.

3. Plan and Organize:

1. • Create a Detailed Plan: Don’t start without a comprehensive plan. Home renovations can be stressful, and proper planning helps prevent issues. Also, consider enlisting a construction firm or an interior designer for guidance.
   • Interior Designers: Hiring a designer can be beneficial. They can help guide you and consider style and functionality to reach the right feeling in your home.

4. Materials:

Materials Matter: Choose durable, strong materials that suit your home, remember quality materials will last and look good over time. Consult professionals if you’re unsure. Contractors and interior designers can provide valuable insights.
