Looking to remodel your home? With all of the remodel options in the market today, making a choice that reflects your values and budget can feel overwhelming. To remedy this situation, we have created a list of helpful hints to help you in your remodel endeavor.

1. Decide on whether you want to go DIY or hire a professional.

In our current economy, it makes a lot of sense for homeowners with remodeling experience to go it alone. If you decide to choose this popular option, make sure that you have the necessary time to complete your project. Nothing is worse than a drawn out remodel that takes months to complete. If you choose to hire a professional, make sure you find someone who has a track record for completing projects on time as well as providing value to their customers. You want to find a professional who will work with you on a personal basis. To find such a professional, do an online search. Houzz.com is the perfect place to start. Look for someone with a good online presence and great customer feedback.

2. Gather creative ideas.

Having decided on whether you want to go DIY or hire a professional, you are now ready to begin researching remodel ideas. Though many people head to the nearest Home Depot, Ikea, or local box store to begin their remodel endeavor, we suggest that you start online. A quick online search on your favorite search engine with the words “home remodel ideas” will give you a vast array of options. Some of our favorite design and remodel websites include the following sites:

• http://houzz.com
• http://design-milk.com
• http://www.remodelista.com
• http://icreatived.com
• http://www.roomenvy.co.uk
• http://www.apartmenttherapy.com
• http://www.myfriendshouse.co.uk
• http://www.designsponge.com
• http://www.tangibleinteriors.com
• http://www.euroluxeinteriors.com

Once you have design inspiration for your remodel, use a website such as Pinterest to organize your ideas.

3. Make up your mind.

Nothing hinders a remodel project more than being indecisive. Once you have a good idea of what you want your remodel to look like, you are now ready to make a decision. It is vitally important that you make a decision and stick with it. Changing your mind in the middle of a remodel will cost you time and money. Once you have decided on what you want in your remodel, you are ready for the next step.

4. Go local.

At this point, we believe it is best to seek out a local interior store or interior professional that will be able to work with you on a personal basis. Unfortunately, in most cases, you will not receive this kind of attention at a big box store. To find a local interior store or professional that is a good fit for you, we suggest doing another online search in your area. Houzz.com is a great place to start. Look for interior stores with a good online presence and plenty of positive reviews. This way you can get a feel for their product inventory and customer service before you set foot in their store. Following these simple steps will help you find a creative interior solution that you will be pleased with for years to come. Though it may be tempting to head out to the local box store for ideas and solutions, the extra time you put into research will produce a wonderful remodel.
