How to remodel, redesign, and revitalize any room

Rooms that lack style and modern functionality can depress the value of any home. This article describes some steps you can take to remodel and redesign a room. As in any project planning and organization are key to keeping under budget and making sure you have a positive room transformation.

Steps:

Identify needs and wants. You need to brainstorm and visualize all the negatives of your current space. It is a good idea to keep these problems written down on paper. Similarly you need to paint a mental picture of all the amenities you want your new room to have. Write these down on paper next to the list of negative features and make sure your wish list solves all the problem areas. This stage is where you can identify if you will need outside help or not. If your vision only includes a different paint color on the wall and perhaps some newly arranged art you'll probably be able to handle the project on your own. However, If you would like the added storage of built in cabinets or more natural lighting from efficient high impact windows using a remodeling contractor will be the best option. To properly plan for any major construction requiring permitting I recommend contacting a Sarasota remodeling contractor or a local remodeling contractor in your area. Regardless of which option you choose it is important to have an ideal picture in mind for your new room. If you are trying to make the room feel more spacious and open use curtains that do not block much of the natural light. Also, painting the walls with lighter colors like a pale yellow can really work to open up a room. If your room is too spacious and sterile you may want to introduce warm shades of brown, red, and orange. Adding carpeting can also serve to make a home feel more comfortable.

Cleaning and de-cluttering. You should clean the room thoroughly and remove all items from the room. Starting from a clean slate will stimulate creativity and new perspectives. Cleaning the room may also help lower any remodeling estimates from a contractor because they will figure in the time it takes to work around clutter.

Donate, eliminate, and sell. Usually during the cleaning process you will find items in storage which you have not seen in years. It is a good idea to have a yard sale or simply donate the items to your local Goodwill. Sometimes the answer is not building more storage, but letting go of stuff. Reducing clutter and the items in storage will restore the new house feeling you had when you first moved in.

Restore and modify. If you have some modern lamps and you are trying to go for a more classic traditional style you can reuse these pieces by spray painting them with a bronze or gold color. These colors add luxury and antiquity to any home. Another way to add fresh style to a functional stained chair is to try using slip covers. Before making any decision on repainting items first paint your walls because this will give the new room a color palate and theme to work with.

New items. Replace some of your old items that did not match with new items. For instance you could purchase a new stylish comforter with attractive throw pillows that match the color of the walls. Purchasing accessories that match the wall color will really tie the room together. Sometimes desks and other storage units take up to much space. Investing in built in cabinetry will increase functional space and it will add value to your home. I recommend hiring professional cabinet installers for any built in cabinets.

Review. Evaluate your project to make sure you have met all of your remodeling objectives. If you hired a contractor to help review the contract to make sure they have fulfilled the terms of the agreement.

Enjoy your new space.
