Seeking inspiration Looking through lifestyle magazines can furnish you with the options that are available . They also feature what others have done and can give an idea of how they accomplished it and also the cost . Just copying someone else ’ s ideas can provide much inspiration ! As they say ‘ there ’ s nothing new under the sun ’ - someone ’ s already done it .
The Budget Obviously things cost money so a budget must be decided on . How much are we prepared to spend ? Do we have the cash or will we need to borrow and if so where from and at what interest rate ? Being inspired by ‘ renovation ’ programmes is only the beginning . How many programmes have you seen where the project has run to budget ? Not many really do as there are so many ‘ hidden extras ’. Even fixed quotes can cost more , which may seem an anomaly but then who doesn ’ t look at a job in progress and think ‘ wouldn ’ t it be nice if we just had ” or “ while you ’ re here can you just ” and that ’ s where the extra cost comes in . Time is money . So always have a contingency plan where the budget is concerned .
