4 Tips For Stress-Free Home Renovations

The new year has barely begun and people everywhere are hoping to make fresh starts. If home renovations are on your list of to-do’s for this year, BlindsInABox can help alleviate the inevitable stresses.

Tips for Home Renovations

Below are some of BlindsInABox’s top tips for home renovations:

Don’t ignore what your house wants

Sometimes what the house wants can and should outweigh what you want. Would a futuristic, ultra-modern kitchen make sense in a Victorian era brownstone? Sometimes!

However, understand your home and complete research before starting any major changes to the design of the house to make sure what you want and what your house needs are on the same page.

 

Pay attention to the detail

Make sure your contract with the workmen carrying out your renovation is plain as can be. The key elements that should be included in your contract are:

  • The correct address
  • The right start and end date
  • An outline of what is and isn’t going to be done

 

Store Valuables

Renovations are messy – even rooms that are left untouched can easily end up full of dust and paint splatters. Therefore, it’s best to protect valuables like furniture and electronics wherever possible.

You can use old bed sheets and towels to protect immovable fixtures like built-in cabinets, chandeliers or wood flooring and pack away movable valuables into boxes for safe keeping.

Keep your home private and cosy

Renovation works can leave your home feeling open and cold. With most of your personal possessions, including window coverings, removed for safe keeping, it’s a good idea to have a temporary measure in place to ensure your home contents isn’t visible to onlookers and keep your home feeling as cosy as possible.

BlindsInABox provide temporary stick on blinds to meet your needs that won’t drain your wallet. With customisable dimensions for a bespoke fit, you can choose from blinds in black or white for an instant solution while conducting home improvements.
