You have big dreams for your home. You plan on renovating multiple spaces, including two of the biggest renos: the kitchen and the bathroom. So, where should you start? Doing both, or more, renovations at once will slow your home down and make it harder to live in. So, which should you do first?
The Order to Do Home Renovations
Typically, when you are doing home renovations you are thinking about a few things. Chief in your mind is likely your home’s value and your comfort in your home. In terms of maximizing your home’s value, it’s smart to do the renovations that will have the biggest impact, which is typically the kitchen and bathroom. This way, in the worst-case scenario where you have to sell before you’ve completed renovations, you’ve maximized your profit from the renovation.
Another thing to consider is whether any of the spaces you plan to renovate are more frustrating than others or would be the biggest improvement in your everyday quality of life. If you really hate your bedroom, it could be the smartest move to fix it first.
That said, sometimes it does make sense to do all of your home renovations at once. If you’re working with a company that can complete them all at once, it may be easier for you to live with friends and family for a short time while the company completes your renovations.
Ultimately, you should do your home renovations in an order that makes sense for you.
How to Start a Kitchen Renovation
The kitchen renovation is often major. It can be a little overwhelming to start. So, we’ll provide you with the general order your kitchen reno should be completed in:
