The key to renovating your house on a budget yet beautifully is to plan the entire process effectively. Here is how to do it:

Divide and Conquer

Like what we have said, effective planning is the key to effective home renovations in Sydney. If you are planning on renovating your home, focus on both the bigger and small picture. There is a saying that goes something like this: a whole more than the sum of its parts. In applying this to your renovation project, you should devise a plan for each area of the house that you are planning to renovate. 

An architect can help you assess the work to be done and you should renovate according to it. In Murano Homes, our designers can brainstorm with you and write the goal for each space in your house.

Budgeting 

Since your goal is to have an economical yet beautiful outcome, you must set a budget. A word to the wise, never overestimate your budget. Always keep it underestimated and research the things you need.

Research

Since you want to be completely involved in the project, even small home renovations need research. You will be surprised by the number of options available at a lower price. When renovating a house, do your research to find the particular fixture you like, the paint you want and the decorative elements you need. You will find something at an inexpensive price.

Some Tips to Get Your Home Renovations Going

Here are some tips that could help you with your home renovations:

Doors create the first impression. Remember, the door is the first thing people see at your house. If you cannot change the door completely, you can update it by doing some repaint. It could affect the lighting in a room and it could benefit from painting it with light colours.

For those who are doing their home renovations in Sydney on a budget, try repainting your door using different shades according to the light coming into your house. It can optimize the lighting the way you want it to.

Paint colours affect lighting. Like in the colour of your doors, you can opt for new colours when renovating your home. If you are on a tight budget and different colour palettes are expensive, try sticking to neutral colours to give your house an air of sophistication.

Use mirrors to make small rooms bigger. Small rooms don’t have to appear small. There is an inexpensive way to make it bigger - adding mirrors. Sir John Soane, a well-known architect of his time used this technique. He added mirrors to his small breakfast room in his house in London.

Maximize kitchen and storage. Decluttering comes with renovating. You can achieve both by maximizing storage. Utilize all the available spaces in the kitchen for storage and you can minimize clutter. If you already have existing cabinets in the kitchen, you can repaint them to make the kitchen look new.

Let the light in through the windows. Letting the indoors in can add comfort, so when renovating use large windows. However, when you are on a budget, you cannot afford new windows. We suggest painting the window trims with a shade lighter than the rest of the room to let the light in.
