Homes with stories and history are ones that are special. Lots of people end up living in homes that belonged to their parents and sometimes even their parents’ parents. Family homes are really special to people because they grew up or raised a family there, most beloved childhood memories took place within the walls and parameters of the property. They are integral parts of our identities.

People who inherit a home or have their home to themselves again after the kids move out can find themselves blindsided by memories and unable to part with things belonging to the people that previously lived there before. When living in an old family home, people face the tough task of putting their stamp on it without changing everything too much. Personalities evolve so the way one might interact with or experience the home the first time they lived there will be different as time goes on.  

For example, Michael & Mary Boland came to their home in 1978, they have lived in the same house since then, raising their kids until they were old enough to move out and live by themselves with their own families. The idea always crossed their mind to freshen up their home, so they got an extension and renovation. The project saw them adding a lot of extra space to the back of their home which Michael says he loves as he can “sit out in the back with the sunshine having my cup of coffee”. On the other hand, Mary said that doing up their original home was “a daunting task” but something they are glad they did.

It’s unrealistic to expect that every part of your home should remain untouched until eternity. It is important not to live in the past too much but what you should do is incorporate its significance and the opportunities it offers into the new design of your current home.

Renovating your home can be a daunting thing to do whether that be a particular room of the house or the whole house itself. There is a lot to go through and take in which can leave you forgetting about the minute details that are very important. Things like storage, energy efficiency and electrical sockets all sound small, but without proper planning these things your new refurbished home could soon be chaotic and disastrous. To ensure your new home is both functional, beautiful and efficient then consider these three key details.

1: Plan Ahead

Thinking ahead and planning for the future and not just now is very essential. Establishing your needs now is great but considering your changing needs over time and incorporating that into the renovation is very important. If you are considering or already have children then you must take into account their growth over time and what they might need to be accommodated into the design. Planning ahead will not only save you money but avoid hassle in getting more work done in the future.

2: Maximise Space

Everybody in every home has some bit of space that is being occupied by nothing, others have space that is being occupied by nothing useful. Thinking about these underused areas in your home that could be transformed into some useful space. Whether that be for an installation of something of some kind or for some storage space. Stairs are a great example of this, there are great ways to subdivide that stair space into cupboards or drawers to get good use from this part of the house. A spot for clothes storage whether it’s big or small will be an important space in your home. Without it, you risk clothes being piled up all over your house maybe even on the floor. Designated storage is more efficient and useful than a general-purpose cupboard, so it’s worth including it in your plans.Doing research and looking for ideas online can give you some great indications of what you can do with some of your house space.

3: Consider Smart Systems

If you are considering changing your heating/lighting system, then you should look at installing a smart electrical system. These are intelligent systems that you can control remotely from a laptop, computer or mobile phone. Smart technology systems will ensure you don’t waste heating and lighting as you can control them even when you are not at home. This will significantly drive down your electricity bills saving you big money in the long term. Some electrical systems can even adapt and react to how you use them like knowing how warm you like your home and adjust accordingly to save you time and effort. Being efficient is an investment worth making to ensure your home runs efficiently. It will allow you to save more money which will give you more disposable income to spend on the nicer things in life.
