Remodelling in 4 steps
Quite some time has passed since the last remodelling, you’re expecting a child or you’re simply bored with the current design – those are the most common reasons why we decide to remodel. How do you do this right? Here are the steps:
Step 1: Think what you want to change
If you want to give your home a modern look, paint the walls, replace the bathroom fixtures, lay tiles or sand the floors. Preparing yourself for these works in advance gives you peace of mind during the remodelling and decoration and allows you to save time and money. The style you want to follow is also of significance – eclecticism or simplicity? Do you love modernity or nature? Answers to these questions will be useful for the next steps, which are budget estimation and planning the remodelling.
Step 2: Remodelling budget estimation
First think how much you can spend on the remodelling and what precisely needs to be replaced and what can be only revamped a little. Even slight changes, like painting the walls a different colour, can completely transform the interior. Some rooms may require a complete metamorphosis, for instance new floor or furniture. Plan your priorities in line with your budget and define the sequence of works – this will help you minimise the remodelling time.
Step 3: List the remodelling details
The next step is to make the list of all of the required accessories and materials. While shopping, remember to add 10-15% to the surface area of the room just to be on the safe side. This applies to paints, tiles panels and parquet. When choosing the tiles and paints, pick colours and patterns of timeless beauty and style. Beige, grey and creamy shades will remain trendy for years – they will not go out of fashion any time soon. Natural and high-quality materials (such as stone, wood) are also universal. Opoczno's elegant Grand Stone tile collections offer the nobility of natural stone, bound to be appreciated by enthusiasts of classic interior design. Inspired by architectural concrete, the Grand Concrete collection will help transform a traditional flat into a modern minimalistic interior.

Step 4: Properly plan the works
The principal rule of remodelling is: first take care of the walls, then get down to the floors (to avoid getting the tiles dirty). Remember to handle the most difficult activities first, such as wall levelling or tiling. You can leave the final touch-up works for the very end.
Have a successful remodelling!
