People sometimes try to save time or money by cutting short the design process when they do a home renovation in Singapore. However, you should have enough time for the design to evolve. Design is an iterative process, and the more the design is refined, the better the result. To help you out, here are the common mistakes you need to avoid when renovating your home:
Renovating impatiently
Many people start small-scale renovations without reviewing the property as a whole. Take time to take stock of what you have. You need to see the big picture to make sure that when you renovate the bathroom or kitchen that it is in the right place. So that when it comes time to do a more substantial renovation, by you or the next owner, the recently updated bathroom or kitchen does not need to be relocated.
Not going for the realistic
Television lifestyle shows are not real life. Projects take a long time to complete, can be messy and involve a whole lot of people. Renovators should be aware of the realities before they start building, how long it will take to complete, how much it will cost to complete. The effort will entail and the disruption it will cause. Professional advice is invaluable, so you should consider hiring an interior design service. Remember it could be the once-in-a-lifetime renovation, the kind that dramatically changes how you live.
Not doing research
Start file cuttings of your home interior design ideas, and collect or photograph anything that takes your fancy so you can work out what you like and what you want. Pinterest and Instagram are useful resources too. The building should play a role in structuring relationships between the people inside the house and their environment.
Avoiding renovation to save money
If your project is limited, perhaps cosmetic work to a bathroom or kitchen that is in a reasonable position in a house up to maybe 30 years old, then your project may not need an architect. If your project needs some structural work, with additions or work on reorganising a plan that no longer suits contemporary life, then you should involve an architect. Even if you are planning a budget renovation you are likely to need good advice first.
