Home renovation isn’t as easy as it might seem. Whether you’re planning a kitchen upgrade, bathroom makeover, or a full home renovation, careful planning is key to getting the best results. At Fancy Interiors in Dubai, we believe a well-prepared checklist ensures your project stays on time, within budget, and aligned with your design goals.
From conception to execution, here is your ultimate home renovation checklist.
1. Set Objectives for Your Home Renovation.
Start with a clear vision. Are you renovating your home to increase functionality, property value, or just give a new look to an older interior design? List out your goals per space. For example:
- Upgrade kitchen appliances and layout
- Create an open living space
- Add a home office or guest room
- Improve lighting and ventilation
Knowing your needs and requirements will help you to make every decision from this point forward.
2. Set a Definite Budget.
Before anything, set a budget: What are you willing to invest? Setting aside expenses for at least the worker’s costs, materials, and furnishing will be a wake-up call to the banker. Charges for permits, design fees, and anything unexpected (10-15 percent) should also be accounted for.
Fancy Interior’s expert team will help clients with their investment by providing transparent quotes and value-focused solutions that don’t compromise on quality.
3. Creating an Initial Timeline
Now, set a preliminary timeline suitable for your lifestyle and any important events, and consider:
- When will the renovation start, and when will it be completed?
- Lead times for materials
- Phases of the project, i.e., milestones (demolition, installation, inspections, etc.)
Delays may happen, mainly when there are customized orders or permit approvals. A complete and structured timeline will make the process of completing it easy without any tension.
4. Hire the Right Professionals
Choosing good, credible contractors will make or break your renovation. Look for:
- Licensed contractors
- Interior designers
- Specialized technicians (plumbers, electricians, etc.)
Fancy Interiors provides full design-and-build services, so you don’t have to worry about managing several contractors. From the concept to the execution, they have the whole job covered.
5. Acquire Permits and Certifications
For some works and under a few regulations, you might have to look for:
- Structural changes
- Electrical and plumbing modifications
- Additions and extensions
Getting permission from legal authorities beforehand will avoid any legal problems and ensure that your renovation meets the safety standards.
6. Layout Design and Plan
Discuss with your contractor to:
- Choose the appropriate layout for each space
- Confirm materials and finishes on your choice
- Decide on washers and dryers, colors, and light fittings
Remember to consider application and aesthetic value. For instance, use durable surfaces in high-traffic areas and low-energy lighting to reduce the electrical costs even in the long run.
7. Order Materials Early
Late delivery of materials will delay the renovation. Stay ahead by doing:
- Place orders for tiles, fittings, and custom items as early as you can
- Ensure you double-check your measurements before ordering
- Follow up with suppliers on their delivery schedule
Fancy Interiors sources high-quality materials from reliable suppliers to ensure timely delivery and the best results.
8. Prepare Your Home For Renovation
Before the Home Renovation begins:
- Clear out all furniture and valuables from the area being renovated
- Set up a temporary home if necessary
- Inform neighbours about the project so that noise or access issues may be worked out.
- Being well-organized beforehand will lessen the burden throughout construction.
9. Track Progress and Communicate Regularly
Keep up-to-date during the project:
- Get in touch with your contractor for regular meetings
- Use project management tools or apps to agree on how progress will be tracked
- Clear your doubts, or if you want to change any design, that would be rectified in the early stages of discussion
- Clear communication guarantees that your vision stays.
10. Inspect and Finalize
When the work is finished:
- Inspect the completed works with the contractor.
- List out the area that needs some final touch-ups or have pending fixes.
- Test all electrical, plumbing, and lighting systems.
11. Furnishing and Decoration
Now it is time for some real magic, with personal touches:
- Position furniture
- Hang artworks/decorative items
- Put down rugs and bring in cushions and curtains for coziness
Our in-house design team at Fancy Interiors can also style and decorate your new space to bring your life to your dream space.
