Start With A Clear Plan
Before anything gets started, it helps to map out what’s happening and when. That way you’ll know which rooms are going to be worked on first, which areas will be out of bounds, and where materials can be stored so they’re out of the way.
Even a rough timeline can reduce stress because you won’t be surprised by what’s happening - of course, renovations do tend to come with some unexpected moments, but most of the time you’ll know what’s happening, and that’s definitely going to help.
Create Zones In Your Home
If you’re living in the property while work is going on, setting up clear zones can make a massive difference. Try to keep one area as your normal space, even if it’s just the bedroom or a corner of the living room, because that way you’ll always have somewhere to go if things start to get a bit overwhelming.
Keep Tools And Materials Contained
One of the fastest ways a renovation gets overwhelming is when there’s stuff everywhere, like tools on the stairs, tiles in the hallway, paint tins in the kitchen, and so on. Yes, you need the stuff, but does it really have to be all over the house? The answer is no.
Use boxes, shelves, or even labelled tubs to keep items grouped together because not only will it keep things neat and tidy, it’ll also save time and you won’t lose things.
Deal With Waste Early
Renovations are messy and that mess tends to build up pretty quickly, and rubbish is one of the biggest sources of disorganisation. It piles up before you know it, and it makes just moving around your home a lot more of a problem than it ever needs to be.
Arranging skip hire early on can help you keep the space clear and safe, and it means you’re not constantly doing panicked trips to the tip with a boot full of rubble - that’s never fun. In other words, having a proper system for waste makes the whole project feel more under control.
Communicate With Everyone Involved
If you’re working with contractors or tradespeople, good communication helps organisation a lot more than anything else. Make sure you ask questions like where things are going to be stored, agree on working hours, and check in regularly to see how it’s all going.
Basically, the clearer everyone is, the smoother it all tends to go.
Final Thoughts
Renovations will always be a bit (a lot) messy, and that’s just part of it, but the more you can do to keep things organised, the easier it will all be.
