Where To Conserve Funds & Where To Be Extravagant In Your Home Remodel

How To Get The Most Value Of Your Home Remodel & Maintain The Budget

Do you want to get the most value of your home remodel? When your home needs improvements, you’ll probably have the urge to get them all done right now. Unfortunately, unless you have a ton of money and time, you won’t be able to address everything at one time. You’ll need to sort through your priorities, and determine where to splurge and where to conserve as you design your North Phoenix home remodel.

What Is Splurging & Saving?

Splurging doesn’t necessarily mean overspending; it can mean moving money from a lower priority project to a higher one. Splurge on things that you touch or see often, that are meaningful to you, or that you really love. In contrast, saving doesn’t mean you are going to eliminate or ignore a portion of your project. Perhaps something can be put on the back burner for now, or completed in a different way that will decrease the cost a bit. If you put a low priority project to the side for a while, you may see it in a different light. Here are some ideas to help you figure out where to conserve money and where to be extravagant in your home renovation.

Kitchen Remodel

Since you will touch, see, and work on your kitchen countertops every day, get what you really like, whether that is quartz, natural stone, laminate, or something else. Since countertops are a semi-permanent fixture that are very visible in your kitchen, make sure that you will really love it years from now instead of getting something cheaper that you don’t like as much in an effort to save a bit of money. As you consult with your Phoenix kitchen remodeling contractor, consider spending less on appliances. Even lower end models are designed better than ever, and middle of the road refrigerators, dishwashers, cooktops, and ranges will exceed the needs of most families. You could also consider purchasing from a scratch and dent store when the appliances will be recessed into the cabinets in your kitchen.

Smart Bathrooms: Are They Necessary?

The fixtures in your bathroom are more than just mechanical devices that start and stop the flow of water. They are ornaments that complement your shower, tub, or sink, so get the ones that really match the design of your bathroom and will be easy to keep clean. When looking over options for your bathroom remodel, it can be tempting to consider smart devices that monitor your water usage and regulate water heating. These technological advances may be beneficial for some, but in general can be skipped or put on the back burner to help save your budget.

Living Room Paint & Design

Have you been eyeing up a designer paint? Go for it! Since the living room is one of the most used rooms in your home and one of the most visible rooms to guests, you can easily justify spending more on premium paint. Lower quality paint will be prone to flaking, chipping, and fading, resulting in inconvenience and premature replacement costs. You’ll be glad you went with the designer paint option in your Carefree home renovation. You can conserve your budget a bit with the lighting in your living room. Focus on the shape, finish, and overall design of the light fixtures you’re installing, instead of the brand name. One way to accomplish this is to get an oversized fixture to make a dramatic statement without breaking the bank.

Patios & Decks

As you design your patio, carefully consider your flooring options. The type of deck flooring or concrete that you choose will make or break how much you enjoy and end up using your new patio. For the best look and maximum strength, choose a premium wood such as mahogany, which is long lasting, easy to maintain and looks great. Another quality option is composite wood, which is made from wood fibers and plastics for a maintenance-free, smooth, and attractive flooring. You can save money on your deck or patio remodel by foregoing any built-ins. Benches, tables, and planters are wonderful additions to decks and patios, and offer the advantage of opening up space. But if you need to reduce your budget, built-ins are something that can be put on the back burner for another day.
