I lived in our home for several years before I was really ready for our reno. I kept changing my mind, just wasn't sure what I wanted the outcome to be. Finally, one day I was ready, really ready. These 5 tips will get you to the finish line.
1. Look at homes online and in open houses. You'll get inspired and get the feel of different layouts, styles, colors and features.
2. There is no "correct" order. Start with the area or room that bothers you the most. Move forward from there. One room at a time.
3. Remember that plans change along the way. As you go, the plan will perfect itself. You will run into ideas/measurements/features you hadn't planned on. Be flexible.
4. Don't be afraid of colors. My favorites for this space were earth tones and neutrals.
5. Textures are lifesavers. Use these to solve problem, correct surfaces, add depth of character. Have fun. Texture adds warmth and perspective you won't get with paint.
