Just imagining it, home renovations is a very confusing thing. Because what you can imagine is that it is very expensive and drains a lot of energy. Especially when the house renovation has begun, the dizziness will multiply if there is no thorough preparation, both in material and immaterial matters. Like it or not, we have to prepare new furniture to suit our needs, themes and even the size of the room. Renovation costs are increasingly expensive because you see the current price of furniture soaring, especially if you want furniture of the best quality, of course the savings will decrease a lot because the price can be many times higher than furniture of mediocre quality.
In preparation for home renovation, the important thing to consider is how much money is needed, how much money has been collected, which parts really need to be renovated and what kind of renovation will your house look like in the future. Almost everything that considered is closely related to the costs must incurred, maybe it won’t be a problem if you already have enough funds to renovate. But it will be a problem if the funds collected are not enough. But the house really needs to be renovated for a very urgent reason and can’t delayed any longer.
Usually the thought that arises when there is a shortage of costs is to choose the raw materials needed at a low price (the quality is not too good). What’s wrong with that thought? There is nothing wrong, but the selection of materials in low quality is very risky. Later, the final result is unsatisfactory and what’s worse, has only been used for a very short period of time, has a lot of damage. Then what is the solution?
Don’t throw away old furniture
Keep in mind, that renovating is different from building a new house that requires all-new furniture, because at first you didn’t have it. Renovation is just a rejuvenation, it doesn’t have to be replaced with something newer, but it can managed by rejuvenating old furniture by repairing it or refinishing it to make it look new again.
Gradual renovation
Home renovation is certainly not only about furniture, but also includes the building itself, including walls and other house building components. If it is renovated at once, it will cost quite a bit. For this reason, there is nothing wrong with renovating gradually by renovating some parts that really not suitable for use, whether it’s cracked walls or parts of the roof where the wood is starting to crumble and so on. After it is sufficient and the funds prepared can still be used to renovate other parts, you can go directly to the next renovation step. However, if it turns out that the funds prepared are already limited, the renovation can be continued next time and there is no need to force it, the most important thing is that the house can be livable again.
Carrying out small-scale renovations
Usually on certain days such as in holy days, everyone will have the desire to renovate their house, even though the house is still good, still sturdy and still very livable. However, because they feel bored with the old atmosphere, there is a wish to renovate the house just before Eid. Sometimes a problem obstruct, like do have not much funds to renovate the house. For this reason, it can be circumvented by displaying large paintings on the walls, or you can also use other wall decorations to get a new home atmosphere.
