Interior Renovation Checklist

In this article, we'll help you to collect all of your Interior Renovation ideas all in one place so that you can get more clarity with your interior renovation project. We've also created a "Downloadable Interior Planning Checklist"  that you can use to help you plan your Interior renovation.

Firstly, ask yourself the following:
✔Have you determined your budget?
✔Have you thought about your top priorities?
✔Have you checked your calendar for the most convenient time of year to renovate?
✔Have you considered how the renovation will affect the way you live and how you’ll work around it?
✔ Have you checked how removing walls will affect the weight-bearing of the home?
✔ Have you established the thematic look and style of your interiors?
Now, consider if each item is must-have, nice-to-have, or not important…
