5 Things to Consider When Renovating Your Cliffs Home
- Natural light – Let windows be the primary source of light in your kitchen. Including as much natural light as available can increase motivation and happiness, as well as expose you to the stunning outdoors.
- Natural colors and texture – Incorporating natural colors and textures helps you feel like you are a part of nature. Natural colors also evoke peace and calmness. Choose colors and textures that blend with the landscape around your home.
- Decorative and utilitarian light – Consider adding unique pendants, under cabinet lighting, and canned lights to make your kitchen exquisite yet functional.
- Ensure that you are keeping functionality in mind while renovating a space. Think about what is important to you in your day-to-day routine, and make sure that your basic necessities are captured in the new design of your home.
- Do you need to maximize countertop space in your kitchen due to cooking at home often? Do you need a vanity in your master bathroom due to your preference of sitting down while applying makeup? Do you need a second dishwasher or refrigerator in your pantry?
- Increase aesthetic appeal in an old space instead of replacing every item. Repainting, adding a fun wallpaper, updating the flooring, or adding a new rug and unique pillows can transform an outdated space.
- Create a dual-use for a single room, such as utilizing a secondary bedroom for both a bedroom and an office.
- If you plan on living in this house forever, think about what your wants and needs will be in ten years from now. Will you need an elevator to get around your home? Will you need a seat in your shower?
- Aging in place should be a highlighted concept throughout the renovation process. Incorporate universal design in your home by verifying that you could comfortably live in your home during elderly years.
- Basic additions can be made during the renovation process that may provide physical assistance years from now. Examples may include adding a shower seat, a grab bar, or an elevator.
Unexpected issues can arise throughout the renovation process—this is normal! There are various factors that can impact any “bumps in the road” during the renovation process, but rest assured that the end result will be worth the time and effort. Plumbing items, tiles, and accessories may be stocked way before the renovation actually takes place. Consider purchasing and stocking up on these items ahead of time as this can solve many of the problems below.
- Scheduling changes
- Timeline changes
- Weather delays
- Stock issues
- Shipping/delivery problem
