Tips For an Inspirational Apartment Renovation
2

• Renovating your apartment is a big step to take,
  but when done right, it can be truly
  inspirational. To help guarantee the success of
  your renovation project, here are a few helpful
  tips
• Dont be afraid to knock walls down
• Sometimes, the only way to give your apartment
  the space that you crave, is by knocking down
  walls, and if youve hired a professional and
  experienced general contractor to run the
  renovation, this should be a relatively easy step
  to take. Sometimes, you need only knock one wall
  down, while other projects it might be necessary
  to knock them all done and effectively start anew.

3

• Under no circumstances should you knock any walls
  down in your home without an assessment from an
  architect. Your general contractor should work
  with an architect, so if youve hired help, it
  should be fine.
• Have new floors installed
• Floors are a huge element of any design project,
  and can totally transform the look of an
  apartment. By modernizing your floors throughout
  the apartment, or even just selecting the main
  living areas to be updated, you could give your
  apartment the illusion of space and grandeur, and
  give it the wow factor when anyone walks in.

4

• Open up the kitchen
• Kitchens in many older apartments are often small
  and cramped, and leave no space other than for
  doing the essentials, such as cooking, and even
  then, it can be difficult for more than one
  person to move comfortably around in. Nowadays,
  open kitchens are growing in popularity, and many
  homeowners value that space above all others.
• Opt for a shower and a tub
• When renovating your bathroom and trying to think
  about how best to use the space, you might not
  have room for both a shower and a tub, in which
  case, you should probably opt for a shower.
  However, tubs are very desirable, and should you
  come to sell the apartment, they can be a real
  selling point.

5

• Think carefully about your bathroom renovation,
  and talk to your general contractor if youre
  unsure as to how best to utilize the room.
• Never neglect closet space
• For some families (and indeed, individuals!),
  there is never enough storage in a property, and
  the more clever and thoughtfully designed closets
  you can fit in, the more youll benefit.

6

• Simple is sometimes best
• It isnt always necessary to have complicated
  plans for your apartment renovation, and
  oftentimes, a simple project is the most
  effective. This also enables you to keep your
  spending in check, and maximize your apartments
  potential without breaking the bank.
• Work closely with your general contractor
• Perhaps the single most effective piece of advice
  that can be given to someone who is renovating
  their apartment, is to always work closely with
  their general contractor. Every member of the
  project must be in full agreement with one
  another, and the general contractor should be
  able to take full control of the project,
  relieving you of the stress and burden.

7

• Renovating your apartment may be a great idea,
  but without thinking it through carefully and
  getting input from your general contractor, it
  could all so easily go horribly wrong. Take the
  time to get it right, however, and you could feel
  as if youre living in a new apartment!
