Interior Design: 5 Key Tips for Your Renovation

Let’s talk honestly about interior design and renovations. The first thing I have to tell you is that taking on a renovation is as exciting as it is exhausting. You will need good organisation and a clear idea of the goals you want to achieve. Only this way will you manage to turn your home renovation into a wonderful adventure rather than an endless nightmare.

If you’re brave and determined to transform your home, these tips on interior design and renovations can be extremely useful. They will help everything go as planned and the building work proceed without a hitch.

Here are the key points:

1. Don’t rush

In any interior design and renovation project, rushing is never a good idea. And even less so for a complete renovation! Take your time before starting the work. There are many variables to take into account, and it is important to stop and think about exactly what you are looking for with this renovation and how you want to achieve it.

It is also essential to plan carefully when you want the work to start and to determine what you want to change or improve. You are probably eager to see your interior design and renovation project finished so you can enjoy your new home, but you need to bear in mind that organisation is key to ensuring everything goes as expected. Faced with all the decisions you will need to make, it is best to have a realistic, well-established plan that can actually be carried out — this is how we interior design professionals work whenever we take on any interior design and renovation project.

2. Set a budget

You probably have plenty of ideas in mind for improving your home that you want to add to your interior design and renovation project, but the renovation will need to match the amount you are willing to spend. The budget for your renovation should always be realistic.

We recommend you draw up a list of priorities, starting with the actions you consider essential and ending with those changes you could do without. If you’re unsure, it’s best to consult an interior design studio. Interior design professionals have the right experience and know-how in interior design to help you prioritise the list of interventions according to the investment you want to make and your real needs.

3. Look for reference photos

The first step in taking on your interior design and renovation project is to dream it up, imagine it, try to picture it in your mind just as an interior designer would. As decorators in Murcia, we recommend you browse the internet and/or check out interior design magazines and decoration sites, gathering interior design ideas that you like or that interest you. Keep the interior design and decorating ideas that you like and that aren’t excessively complex to carry out. Don’t settle for interior designs that are top trends or “in fashion”. Remember: trends fade, style is eternal.

Looking for interior design photos of spaces similar to yours will also help you understand the possibilities available to you. Surf the internet and search on Google, Instagram or Pinterest. Grab some scissors to cut out interior images you like from magazines and create your own image bank. Create a folder called Interior Design Project and put all the information you gather into it. All this information will help you get a clearer picture of the final result and, should you need to communicate your ideas to interior design professionals, it will be easier for you to convey exactly what you’re looking for in your interior design and renovation project.

4. Surround yourself with good professionals

How many times have you heard the phrase “good, nice and cheap”? This advertising claim has little to do with reality, so… don’t take the bait!

Bear in mind that in any sector, including interior design, the price is always in line with the quality of the service you will be offered. Before deciding to hire an interior decoration professional, you should look at their reputation and experience. If you don’t know anyone in the interior design sector who has used their services as an interior designer, you can ask for references or read the reviews other clients have left online about their work. Ultimately, it is essential to make sure you are hiring the right interior design and renovation professional for your project. Get in touch with the interior design studio you liked best and arrange a meeting with them to get to know them, so you can share your expectations about the project as well as any doubts you may have.

5. Give yourself a little leeway

Renovations, especially complete ones, are very complex. There may be technical aspects that escape you, or issues that arise once the work has started.

For all these reasons, it is essential to plan interior design and renovation work with a sufficient time margin. Estimating a somewhat longer duration for the work will help you have a better experience. That way, if any setback arises, it won’t catch you by surprise.
