Now that summer is officially over, children have headed back to school, pumpkin spice lattes have returned, and the holiday season is nearing closer, you may be thinking more seriously about your home remodeling project. The hardest part of taking on a big home renovation project is the waiting, but before you jump too quickly it’s good to make sure you’re prepared before contacting a luxury home builder.
Do Your Research
The internet has completely revolutionized the home renovation world. There are seemingly endless inspiration images of creative color choices and innovative design ideas. Begin by collecting a handful of images for each room that you want to remodel to share with your luxury home builder. These inspiration images will help us understand your personal style, and your home remodeling priorities. Knowing what you like is the first step to being able to communicate your taste to your builder.
Consider Your Lifestyle
Basing your home renovation around your lifestyle will assure that you and your family can get the most use of it during the entire year. For instance, if you have young children or elderly parents living in your home you may want to think of them when designing your home’s lay out or choosing materials. Your parents may not be able to climb stairs to a second floor guest room, so adding a first floor bedroom or a mother in law suite will make your home more accessible. And if you have home full of rambunctious young children you may need more safe and resilient design.
Also remember that your house functions differently in every season. During the summer, your children are spending a lot of time outside and in the pool. Adding an outside bathroom will cut down on the number of wet footprints on your kitchen floor. And an extra large dining room may be just what you need to host your large family Christmas gathering each year. Your home already has a life of it’s own. Take into account the way you use your home now, and the way you aspire to use it in the future when making decisions about your home remodeling project.
Take a deep breath. The home remodeling process can be overwhelming at first, and you may be tempted to stress out over the details, but we encourage you to take a deep breath and keep the end result in mind. Once you’ve taken a moment to think through your home remodeling goals and your lifestyle, give us a call. We’d love to help your family breathe new life into your home!
