If you have a new house or are renovating an old one, the choices seem endless! From flooring materials to paint colours, there is no shortage of decisions when it comes time for inclusions and upgrades.
With this blog post, we hope to provide some guidance on these topics by highlighting key considerations that you might need. Below are some tips on how to make the process of inclusions and upgrades less daunting.
What are your short-term and long-term goals for the home?
It’s important to know what you want your home to be and how it can best serve your needs. We all have different short-term and long-term goals for our homes. Whether you’re planning to make it a place that’ll help pay off debts or provide retirement income, make sure to consider and list them down. They’ll help you decide the inclusions and upgrades you’ll add to your home.
What are the most important aspects for you in a home?
Most likely, you have seen your fair share of TV shows where people are designing their dream homes. It’s when designers come in and show clients how to make their home better with all the bells and whistles.
But when it comes down to it, you need to think of which aspects matter most to you in a house? Are there things that are just must-haves for you or do they depend on what type of lifestyle you live?
For example, do you want your kitchen to be more convenient yet elegant? Then you may want to add appliances such as slideout rangehood or euro cooktop (if you don’t have them yet).
These aspects can be internal or external features that you prefer. Look around your home and list down the inclusions you think your home needs. Then, later on, you can narrow down these and decide which things are truly important for you in a home.
Keep in mind that there’s no wrong or right on this part, but you still have to make sure that you’ve thought this through before finalising your choices.
How much are you willing to spend on your home?
So, the big question is, how much are you willing to spend on your home’s inclusions and upgrades? Many homeowners are faced with the dilemma of how much money to spend on their homes. It can be stressful when deciding between a new kitchen, bathroom, or fireplace due to the high costs involved in these projects.
What you can do is assess if your budget can handle the inclusions and upgrades you want. If not, then it might be best to set some inclusions and upgrades aside for now. There are a range of options when considering an upgrade for your home.
You can go with simple updates like new paint or carpeting. This will give you some room to spend on other things that matter more to you. If you want something bigger you can start saving for it for the time being.
How many children will eventually live in the house?
If you’re planning to add inclusions and upgrade to your home, you may want to add the number of children that will eventually live in it in your considerations. It is important to plan for additional features that may need to be included in the design for your kids. Some considerations might include more bedrooms, a larger kitchen or bathroom.
It’s important to add the children to your considerations before moving forward with your home inclusions and upgrades. Will there be enough space for other children? Is it time to think about adding on an extra bedroom? You’ll want to thoroughly examine these before planning any major changes.
How many people are or will be living in your house (e.g grandparents, other relatives)?
Aside from adding the number of kids to your consideration, you also need to think about how many people are or will be living in your house. Are there any chances for grandparents or other relatives to live with you in your home? Can your space accommodate them and if they need extra disability services?
The answer is important because it changes what you might need to provide, like extra bedrooms, bathrooms, ramps and wider doorways. It also affects how much furniture you might want to have on hand. You can’t go wrong by being prepared.
Are there any specific features of homes that would make them more appealing to you?
Do you know what features would make your home more appealing to you? What about the kitchen, bathrooms, and basement? Is there anything that you’d like to include in these rooms?
For example, do you want a home with an open floor plan or one with lots of natural light? Is size important to you, or are there other aspects that matter more? You need to think about those things before making a final decision for your home’s inclusions and upgrades.
What type of design do you prefer – modern, traditional, eclectic
Do you know what design style suits your personality the best? Knowing which design you prefer will help you in choosing the inclusions and upgrades to add to your home. It’s important because it will be reflected in everything from your decor, furniture, and fixtures.
Here are some samples of the house designs you can choose from.
- Modern design is clean lines with sharp angles and flat planes. It uses minimalism for its visual impact.
- Traditional design has distinctive character traits that are often found in rural homes such as heavy wooden furniture paired with soft rugs on polished hardwood floors.
- Eclectic designs have pieces from different periods mixed which creates an interesting look that celebrates diversity while still feeling cohesive at the same time!
