5 STEPS TO HELP WITH YOUR HOME REMODELING PROCESS
Remodeling your home can feel overwhelming at times - from initial planning and design, to choosing the right products to use. There's a lot of decisions that need to be made. Here are some tips to help you get started and make the process of achieving the home of your dreams go smoothly.
1. Evaluate Your Current Space
Start by taking a closer look at what you already have to work with. Your current space will largely dictate the types of renovations that do and don't make sense, so it's important to take any constraints into consideration before you dive too deep into the planning process.
Think of what you already have as a springboard to work from – the possibilities are nearly endless, no matter what the space looks like.

2. Create a Remodel Checklist
Next, make a list that includes all of the items you'd like to see as part of your remodel, breaking things down into specific details if possible. List out items such as faucets, backsplashes, sinks, appliances, countertops and cabinetry, and make a quick note next to each about where your current needs happen to be.
There are many remodeling checklist examples available online, so don't be afraid to take a look at what others are doing.

3. Gather Inspiration
Gathering design inspiration from photos, magazines and online is a great way to ensure you aren't overlooking potential possibilities for your bathroom or kitchen remodel.
You may also find inspiration from simply visiting the homes of family and friends, exploring showrooms or your favorite businesses. Pay attention to what you do and don't like, and use this information to your advantage when it comes time to plan a remodel.

4. Determine Your Budget
At the end of the day, your budget will determine what you can and can't afford to incorporate into your remodel.
Once you have a good understanding of what your financial parameters look like, you'll be well-equipped to prioritize and plan out a realistic list of work to get done.
