March is Makeover Month here at The Home Studio, but when I thought about that a little more – every day is basically makeover day in our world. We love sharing our ideas and inspiration on how to design (and redesign) your home.
This act of personal expression is available to everyone. The creating, designing, imagining what it will be – well, that’s the fun part. Then there is the maintenance side – the less than thrilling and often expensive side.
With any project – big and small – creating a clear vision of how you want a space to look and feel, is extremely important BEFORE you start doing the work. While it can be tempting to jump right and start making decisions on the fly, putting your design concept into place should always be the first task to any makeover project.
I often wonder, how did any of us tackle our home design projects in the days before Pinterest and Instagram? That being said, the flip side to having so many amazing resources available at our fingertips, is that you can easily be overloaded with information and suffer from decision paralysis. Thinking about which one of these 100 amazing sink taps is THE perfect one for your bathroom project can have you spinning in circles!
What we really want to impress here at The Home Studio, is the small budget makeovers are just as exciting and important as those homes undergoing full gut renovations (and certainly a lot less stressful and messy!). Just remember, you don’t have to go from nothing to something incredible for the process to be worthwhile. Most of the time it’s just about enhancing the space you already have.
Small changes can have a big impact on your space and don’t have to cost an arm and a leg. And with so many of us spending more time at home than usual, bringing a little change and possibly some order to your surroundings goes a long way to how you use and enjoy the space on a day-to-day basis.
This month we will continue to share our favourite design ideas and lots of makeover inspiration, from the big projects to the small ones. As always, we are delighted that you are following along.
