Out with the old... in with the new
January is always a challenging month, leaving the holidays behind, returning to our routines, reflecting on the year just passed and new beginnings and opportunities ! Perhaps for this reason, January is a month where we focus on change and the start point of many new goals: going to the gym, improving your diet, reconnecting with old friends or even making a radical change at home!. If you are among those who have been dreaming about giving their house a much needed makeover, but keep putting it off now is the best time!
The year begins with the counter at zero and twelve months before us and a brand new calendar to be able to fill them with exciting projects. Perhaps some will remain as dreams because we lacked perseverance or because we lost interest, but for the ones we really want to achieve, planning is essential.
Here we offer you a few tips to help you reach your goals…
Start the year by removing the Christmas decorations. Don’t let this be your only January assignment! At the same time that we put away the lights and decorations, gain the space that was previously occupied by the Christmas tree, get rid of those superfluous elements that hinder your home and that you don’t feel identified with the style anymore.
Think of a new look for different areas of your house. Make notes, discuss these ideas with your partner. Your home will feel renewed and ready for the year ahead.
If you are going to renovate your bathroom, or you plan to open your kitchen to the living room or even a complete reform of your house. Whatever project you have in mind, plan it in advance. You will save on costs and unwanted surprises!
Define your budget. It is likely that the project will undergo changes when you talk to the professionals, but it will be much easier for you to decide if you go to them with a previous idea.
Hire a suitable team of professionals. You will avoid many headaches and the budget will not get out of control. Look for Interior Designers with enough experience in the market and of course do not hesitate to ask them for references. But most of all, be clear in your vision and go achieve those goals.
