Home Remodeling Project Visualization
Posted by sprintfjic on July 23, 2008
Creating a good mental picture as well as having a physical picture of what you hope to accomplish when you start remodeling your home will not only save you considerable time and money, but it will also bring you and your family much more enjoyment in the long run. If you have found something that you really like in a certain room design layout, perhaps in a magazine or other place – then keep it. Make sure that you keep track of those pictures and keep them so that you can show your contractor what you hope to accomplish.

Get Accurate Bids
Another advantage to keeping a very good visual log of what you hope to accomplish with your next home remodeling project is the fact that you can show each contractor that is bidding on the job exactly what you want. This will allow them to give you a much more accurate bid and you know exactly what each person is bidding on.
Be Clear on What Makes the Room
One of the keys with any home remodeling project is to think beyond just the structure of the room but also think about the decor, such as the furniture. The wall hangings are also very important and other things that you might be adding to the room to complete the look can make a huge difference. This is where finding a visual display may be a bit deceptive. The furniture or the decor in the room may actually be making that room look more attractive to you.

Good tips. We actually keep a portable file-cabinet that is tabbed by room / major project. When we see photos of great places we like in magazines (Dwell, Sunset, Atomic Ranch, Metro. Home), we will usually rip out the pages and file them away for future reference.
Works like a charm whenever we are looking for inspiration.
