The itch to redecorate, renovate, and remodel will get you to reconsider everything: from the front entry to the back door.
Let’s say that you just recently moved into your home. It doesn’t matter if you came from an apartment or a townhouse before. Your new home is your space to do with what you will. The itch to redecorate, renovate, and remodel will get you to reconsider everything: from the front entry to the back door. But sometimes, when it comes to remodeling your home, patience is a virtue.
Enjoy Your Home
First things first, take some time to enjoy your home as it stands right now. Although you may disagree with some of the design choices or decorations the previous owners left behind, you may find that they will grow on you with enough time. Even so, increasing functionality should be the name of the game. Find ways to open up some more space and make it more enjoyable; after all, it’s entirely possible that you have different goals, aspirations, and outlooks for your home than whoever lived there before you did. Plus, it’s probable that the house was given a complete makeover before it was deemed ready to accept any new tenants, as is often the case with rental properties.
Reevaluate Your Goals
At first, you may have looked forward to changing up the kitchen and making it more user-friendly. While that is still important, part of looking forward to where you’re going will change even before you get there. Renovating the might become even more pressing, and you could be in dire need of expanding the storage space in your closets or garage. Also, if you have access to an attic or storage room, you will probably do everything you can to stay out of them. Remodeling your home to make it more accessible is also a worthy investment, but depending on your current living circumstances, you might not need it right away. That said, it’s still a good idea to consider it down the road.
Don’t Rush Into Hasty Decisions
Lastly, avoid making any rash decisions that you will come to regret later. Being hasty is a source of guilt almost as much as waiting too long to make a change. When it comes to remodeling your home, you’ve got to strike a balance. The plans that you made while waiting to move in – especially if your home is a custom project designed especially for your family could turn out to be impractical or unfeasible once you move in for real. The kitchen island and breakfast nook could be more useful than having a dedicated dining room. Ponder whether you would rather have a guest bedroom or a private study that can function as a home office. Sometimes, repainting the walls, changing kitchen and bathroom fixtures, or switching out the door hardware is all you need to put your stamp on your new home before the larger projects start to take shape.
