5 Ways to Plan and Budget for Your Home’s Remodel

Envisioning yourself living, entertaining, and creating memories in your beautifully remodeled home is your first step in the design process.  But then what?  How do you plan for it and how much will it cost?  A successful remodeling plan begins by meeting with a professional accredited interior designer to discuss your design vision, a budget, and your next steps to start the design process.

How do you begin the design planning process?

Here at Sheryl Steinberg Interior Design, we begin with a Design Starter Consultation [LEARN MORE HERE].  Our consultation is a 90-minute working meeting (in-person or virtual) that offers guidance to define your vision, create a design budget and guide you on your next steps to proceed with your home’s redesign, which will help you to navigate a personalized path to redesign your home.

5 Planning Tips For Remodeling Your Home     

Interior Designer:

  • Start Planning with a Professional Interior Designer– A professional accredited interior designer will work with you to discuss your design vision and needs, develop a budget, create a design schedule, and provide a detailed scope of work within your budget and design vision.  Contractors cannot provide you an accurate quote or schedule without a design, product specifications, or scope of work.

Kitchens:

  • Prepare a Temporary Kitchen Space During Construction – Designate an alternate kitchen space and sink to use during a kitchen remodel to ensure the transition period is smooth and you have a functioning and suitable space to prepare and store food during the kitchen remodel.

Floors:

  • Include Flooring – Specify flooring in the project scope up front and include the cost in your design budget – there are many choices at various price points and installation needs.

Lights and Electric:

  • Specify Lighting and Electric in the Project Scope – Budgeting and planning for lighting and electrical needs are necessary to include for accurate costs, installation requirements and labor involved.  A designer creates a lighting and electrical plan, along with detailed specifications during the design phase.

Permits:

  • Include Permitting and Additional Professionals – The potential need for permits, a licensed architect, or structural engineer may be necessary to include in the budget, as well as in the scope and schedule of work.

With the start of the new year, chances are your home is ready for a refresh to bring greater organization and efficiency to kick off 2023.

More than ever, decluttering, organizing and streamlining your home will help ease your mind and enable you to focus on what matters most – your comfort, success, happiness, increased motivation, enhanced productivity and decreased stress.

In my national award-winning professional design practice, I create personalized solutions for clients by designing spaces that improve their living and working environments – resulting in functional and inspiring interiors.

Are you ready to get started on solutions for an organized and modernized home?  Try a 90-minute Design Starter Consultation [HERE] in-person or virtual.  It’s great way to start the process and feel confident and joyful in your home again.

I’d like to help you improve your living and work environment by sharing some design ideas you can implement now that will make your home more organized, comforting, and efficient:

Home Organizing Tips To Get You Started:

Home Office:

  • Streamline and Maximize – Arrange supplies by group and keep frequently used ones visible on your desk to save time and easy accessibility. Organize electronic and paper file systems so they are easily located in one area – separating personal from work.

Kitchen and Bath:

  • Declutter and streamline – Consolidate, purge and simplify storage areas to create space-saving functional solutions. Incorporate drawer dividers and multi-level storage systems for efficient use of empty space.  Discard outdated products.  Replace worn cookware, place settings, and glassware with fresh new coordinated styles and colors for a streamlined style.

Entryway:

  • Consolidate – Create a welcoming entry into your home by using hooks, coat tree, baskets, or a modular entry storage unit.  Limit the number of visible items to keep the area neat and tidy.

Living Room:

  • Multiple use – Maximize this inviting space for entertaining, watching movies, reading, or game night by installing cabinetry, shelving, storage ottomans to keep items at easy access and out of sight when not in use.

Laundry Room:

  • Maximize usage – Use bins, cabinetry, and shelving to simplify and organize detergents, cleaners, clean and dirty laundry separation to avoid confusion and create easy accessibility.  Add drying racks, ironing board storage, and folding areas to maximize usability.
