Planning for a home renovation is exciting, however it is inevitable that it will cause some disruption around the home, even if it is just smaller jobs such as decorating a room or retiling a bathroom.
Before you begin any renovations remove everything from the room or designated area you are planning to renovate, including furniture, clothing, decorations and any household goods, leaving the area as bare as possible. Not only does this help protect your belongings from dirt and dust, it also helps avoid any accidental damage. Then pack any essential items that you may need during the renovation process into a box for easy access later.
If you can’t remove certain items of furniture, make sure they are covered with clean sheets, and make sure your floors are protected too with some kind of covering.
Isolating the renovation area means it is easier to keep the rest of your house tidy and clean. If the renovation works are going on for a number of days or even weeks, then make sure you, or the contractors if you are using outside help, tidy and clean up at the end of every day.
Regardless of what the renovation project is and the size of it, people always ask ‘what do I do with my stuff in the meantime?’
