When it comes to planning a home renovation project one of the biggest challenges can be understanding what is possible both design and budget wise before you begin. Even when working with a design professional, it’s always a good idea to start with some inspiration of your own. Here are some potential sources of information that also include great tools and resources to help ensure you end up with the home of your dreams.
Design Websites or Blogs
Design blogs are often the best sources of inspiration because they stay up to date on current design trends, and often predict what’s ahead. They are also great tools in helping you figure out what is possible, how to best combine design styles, and what color schemes and finishes will look best. Sites such as Houzz provide resources for materials, products, and renovation projects.
Pinterest
Many designers showcase their favorite creations through this platform. A free membership enables you to look through hundreds of curated lists, often connected with in-depth articles, images and other useful links. And the best part about Pinterest? You can find ideas all in one place…saving hours of searching and then create a board to share with your professional.
Instagram
Instagram often serves as an online portfolio for up and coming designers, making a great place to find ideas. You can also search and follow on Instagram by hashtags such as #interiordesign #kitchenremodelideas. Searching by relevant hashtags on Instagram can help you find like-minded groups and discover what updates people are making in their homes.
