Remodeling Tips: Beautifully Renovate Your Home Within Your Budget

Home renovations in Los Angeles do not have to break your budget, whether you’re pursuing them for your own pleasure or to enhance the value of your home for a sale. Use the following tips to get started.

Underestimate Your Budget

What happens with a lot of Los Angeles remodeling projects, especially the ones you do yourself, is that the costs exceed what you’ve budgeted. You can find yourself having to finish a project with low-quality materials or materials that don’t fit a look or theme. Get around this pitfall by underestimating your budget, perhaps by about 10 percent.

Compare Prices

Another tip is to look at various retailers for things you want such as paint, fixtures, lamps and furniture. Many items are available from multiple retailers, and the price differences can be significant.

Follow the Floor

Some of the best home renovations in Los Angeles involve redoing the floor. However, you simply might not have room in your budget to put in a new floor along with everything else you have planned. The trick here is to plan your renovations so that they’ll go beautifully with your existing floor. You can also explore options such as large rugs.

Use Mirrors in Small Spaces

A lot of Los Angeles real estate is small—no shame in that! There’s a lot of joy and fun to be had in small spaces. Of course, you may want your renovations to give your house a lighter feel, something more spacious. Mirrors can accomplish this wonderfully, and they don’t cost much.

Go with Black and White Paint

If you’re on a tight budget, stick with black and white paint instead of purchasing many different palettes. Rather than being restrictive, this scheme opens you up to all kinds of glamorous or sophisticated options.

If you’re looking into selling or leasing real estate, a bathroom or kitchen renovation could mean that you profit in the tens of thousands of dollars for an investment under $4,000. Get in touch with Maser Condo Sales today to learn more.
