It’s always exciting to be able to switch up a space and give it a fresh look after so many years of having it the same way. Regardless of whether you consider yourself to be an expert or amateur when it comes to decorating, you can still achieve some fantastic results with just a few changes here and there.

So whether you’re transforming your bedroom or kitchen, here are some helpful tips to plan and execute a room transformation successfully.

Set a budget

Budgeting is the most important part of any room transformation because you may have a limit to what you can spend.

Some might have a lot more to play with than others but regardless it’s worth having a budget so that you can allocate the various amounts needed to help transform the room the way you want it to look.

Look at what you’ll need when transforming your room and always estimate your amounts over rather than under.

Create a mood board

A mood board is an important one when it comes to planning a room transformation. It can be helpful to see the visuals before you go about rearranging the room and decorating. Sometimes, having some direction can help ensure you get the right results you want.

With that being said, set up a mood board for the room and consider what textures, colours, and furniture you’re looking to add to the space. It doesn’t need to be exactly the choices but it can set you up and point you in the right direction.

Layout the space

Another visual consideration is to look at the space and to layout where you’d ideally want all of your furniture to go. This is something you want to do before you buy the furniture so that you’re not buying too much for the space or too little.

By assessing the space and choosing where each piece of furniture goes, you’ll also make sure that the space is being used in the best way possible for the furniture you’re introducing.

Choose furniture wisely

Talking of furniture, it’s important that you’re picking out the furniture carefully. Once you’ve laid out the space, you can then go about selecting each piece. When you select a piece of furniture one at a time, you stop yourself from buying too much and potentially cramping up the space.

Even with bigger rooms, you can end up buying too much furniture and cluttering the room as a result. Try to be selective with what furniture you pick out when shopping from furniture shops.

Experiment with colour and lighting

Finally, get experimental when it comes to choosing colours and picking out lighting. There are lots of different styles and approaches to choose when it comes to the decor you add to the space. Consider what the space is being used for and choose appropriate lights and colours.

A room transformation is money and time well spent, so use these tips to make sure you get the most out of your room renovation.
