It’s fair to say that the majority of homeowners now own a smartphone, tablet device or desktop computer. While you can use your device for many different things, one thing you can do is shop online for home renovation products.

Over the last couple of years, the real estate markets have seen some fluctuation. As such, no one can really predict when you should undertake your home renovation project. There is always some amount of risk involved. However, you can better time things by doing certain things.

One such thing is to have a property valuation done to compare your property to others in your neighbourhood. If you find that your property value is much lower than others, then you should go ahead with your renovation. If not, it is more prudent to wait.

3. Research for the best deals

It’s very easy to get overwhelmed with a home renovation project as there are so many elements to consider – one small mistake to any part and the entire project can be affected.

Avoiding this is really simple. Barry Du Bois of The Living Room suggests that homeowners break down renovation projects into smaller tasks. This will make your project much more manageable.

5. Work from a design or plan

Work from a plan

Depending on the scale of your home renovation project, you may or may not need professional assistance. Larger projects will almost always require a builder and other tradespeople working together.

Whatever your case may be, you must always start your renovations by creating a detailed design or plans. This way, you’ll run into fewer problems during your renovation.

6. Get the exteriors done first

exteriors first

More and more people are buying homes based on their first impressions of the house’s exterior design. So if you’re renovating to sell, I recommend that you renovate the exteriors before investing in the interiors. This way, you’ll increase the value of your property and appeal to others as well.

7. Create a colour palette around trending colours

Choosing colours

Choosing the right paint colours can become a big challenge in any home renovation. Colours can make or break a room completely, so you’ll need to get this right.

If you have no idea where to start, look at Dulux’s colour trends is a great place to start. Entwined weaves of colours, foundation and construction shades, colourful graphical patterns and soft sentient shades are going to be hot this year.

Conclusion:

If you’re undergoing a home renovation project, there are some tips to follow to ensure everything goes to plan and that your efforts pay off.

It’s a good idea to get a property valuation done before you start with renovations. Also, shop for renovation products online and research to get the best deal. Break your project into smaller tasks and always work from a design or plan. Lastly, work on your exteriors first and choose trending paint colours.
