Does your home feel more “mixed up” than “fixed up”?
So you’ve sat down and watched the kids bouncing off the walls, or looked at your tired bathroom or kitchen and thought; “this space just isn’t working for us anymore!” Whether it’s the lack of room or the outdated features it’s clear—it’s time for planning a renovation to make the space function better and fit your lifestyle.
Why do we need a renovation?
Perhaps the shower floor is bouncy or the kitchen doesn’t flow at all and is in desperate need of a renovation or upgrade. Maybe you need more rooms for a growing family or just extra income
What do we want
Better flow around the house? Large opening doors onto a deck for entertaining? Or perhaps the kitchen needs to work better, or is our bathroom a fright?
Planning a renovation
A successful renovation starts with careful planning. Whether its updating a small room or taking on a complete overhaul, taking the time to map out steps and goals will ensure a smooth as possible renovation process.
Research
Do some online search to get some ideas of what you like and how you would the finished project to look. Having a clear vision of what you like makes it easier to incorporate into your space and figure out the best way to integrate them.
Budget
Think about your budget, sadly most of us need one. In fact, this really helps to identify where you money can be best spend to maximise your build and financial return; should you want to sell in the future.
From these steps, our design and build team at X2 can get a better understanding of what you are after.
Next steps
While it may be tempting to rush through the renovation process to see quick results, taking your time and making thoughtful decisions will lead to lasting value in your home and prevent unnecessary expenses.
This is a great time to bring in our design and build team to see just what is possible, can we remove the walls?, do we need council consent etc? Furthermore, we will have ideas to build on yours and be able to suggest other ideas you may not have thought of.
