Improving home equals improving life quality

Has it been years since your home was last renovated or maybe it has never been? Does it feel antiquated, and space isn’t being used as well as it could be? Perhaps you need more space or more light? So you’ve decided it’s time for it to undergo a complete renovation. However, you’re concerned that renovating your property will cost you vast amounts of money, and you may not be able to perform all changes you want to. Here is good news: you should have no problem renovating a house on a budget by following these tips.

Declutter

Have you been so busy for years that there was no time to dispose of all things that you don’t use any more? Now it is perfect time to declutter your home!

A living room is a place where you have a coffee with friends, show off your personality, display your books, and if it is and cluttered, the last thing you’ll want to do is hang out there. Remove all unnecessary items before the renovation, because it will be easier to put the room back together after it is finished, and you will have more space at the same time.

If you think about other rooms, you will also find things to remove, so they won’t tempt you to bring them back after improvement. Consider getting rid of expired cosmetics and opened bottles you no longer use from the bathroom, chairs for clothing from your bedroom, extra pots, frying pans and plates from the kitchen and if you have children, toys that they hardly use.

Once all improvements are finished, and all items returned to their place, you will be happy to realise you have more free space in rooms!

Enlarging living space

Perhaps you are renovating home in order to make a home office. Or maybe you’ve got a baby or children have grown up and need separate or bigger rooms. In that case, you need house extension. House extensions remain the most popular home renovation service, but, consider the conversion of the attic or loft into living space. This conversion will not be adding to the actual square footage of a home, but it will be adding to the square footage of the liveable areas. In this case, you will need to expand heating and electricity systems as well.

Floor screeding / Liquid / Concrete flooring

If you are converting loft or attic into living space, the first thing is to make a base for flooring. It is good to consider underfloor heating as an option at this moment. When looking for liquid screed suppliers, be sure to have this in mind, because some of them will offer you pieces of advice concerning underfloor heating, and provide a smooth level surface, suitable for use with underfloor heating and application of all floor finishes.

Remodelling

You have a choice to renovate home yourself or pay professionals to do it for you. This decision might be difficult, but it affects not only the budget but also time spent in the remodelling. Experts will do the job faster and clean up after they are finished. Also, there is a possibility of errors or incidents which you could not see coming if you do a job yourself, even if it only changes of tiles in the bathroom and kitchen or changing faucets.

Do proper research with family and friends who did renovation recently because they can help you make this decision. Whatever you chose to do, make sure to have insurance in case of any unexpected event.
