The 17 Decisions That Can Make or Break a Renovation

Renovations rarely become difficult because of one dramatic mistake. More often, they become expensive through a series of small decisions made too late. Start with what must stay Identify what already has value before demolition. Plan how people move A better layout can be more valuable than a more expensive finish. Design storage early Storage should belong to the architecture, not be added after the room fills up. Plan power and lighting together Furniture, technology and daily routines should inform the electrical plan. The principle behind every important renovation decision is simple: plan the consequences before committing to the appearance.
