Opt for neutral decor

When it comes to making a home renovation last longer, it’s a good idea to opt for neutral decor. This means you can switch up the look with accessories and other non-permanent fixtures, enabling you the flexibility to change how it looks and feels, without having to redecorate every single time. Paint the walls in a neutral colour such as beige or creme and opt for a floor such as wood or laminate that will age well, go with any furniture that you buy and last you for years to come.

Consider the spaces you create 

When you are renovating your home, you want to go for a design that will work as your life and family grows. Think of things such as adding in an open-plan living and kitchen area. This means you can watch your children while you get on with making the dinner and is much more family friendly than having separate rooms. You could also consider adding an extra room that could be another bedroom or a study and how you can make the space more family friendly. The better foundations you put in now, the easier it is down the line. 

Go for high quality

When you are renovating your space, you want to go for quality. As the saying goes, buy well buy once, so by choosing your materials carefully, you can save costs further down the line, even if it might seem a bit more expensive up front. Things that you should invest in include your doors and windows, your flooring and the paint you use on your walls. When doing your outside space, invest in high quality turf such as Sir Walter Lawn that will look brilliant and is made to last. At the end of the day, renovations can be disruptive, so by getting it all done once and to a high standard, you don’t need to worry about keeping on doing them.

These are just a few things you can do to make your home renovations last longer. When you’re getting your house done, you want to do so with the viewpoint that it’s going to last you for a long time to come.
