Design Plans with Luxury Cabinets and Vanities for Scarborough Homes
When planning a kitchen, bathroom or other home renovation for Scarborough homes there are generally two very different mindsets as far as the way renovation design plans are approached.
The first type is very conservative. Budget conscious and basing most decisions to what can be sourced in the most cost-effective way, restricting choices to the cheapest and most neutral options available.
The second type goes for extravagance, considers money as no object, looking for the boldest and most current trend designs.
The first type will create immediate drawbacks to renovation design layout plans because ‘too cheap’ always costs more in the long run and consistently neutral choices can hinder the enjoyment and functionality of a room.
The second type also limits a successful renovation plan. With the go big or go home mentality, it is entirely possible that they can lose focus on what the point of the renovation was in the first place, with a mission to create a room that is a showstopper, which can also create a room that lacks a purpose other than to be looked at.
Industry professionals suggest a different approach to get the best of both worlds so that the end result is a renovation that is an asset for both the home and the homeowner. It is possible to create a serviceable, beautiful design plan with luxury cabinets and vanities for Scarborough homes.
The key is to aim for balance. This can be achieved by asking some questions before starting in on the design plan. What is the optimal function for the room to be renovated? What area of Scarborough is the home in? How long does one plan to be in the home? At first these may seem like some strange questions to ask but continue on to see why they are indeed relevant.
When considering renovations people can get very focused on the idea of what resale value they will be adding to the home. This quickly limits what renovations they feel they can complete, and in turn, they may end up creating a space that is not optimal for themselves or their family’s.
Consider the Space Around You
Another issue that arises when one is too focused on adding resale value is that they neglect to look around their neighbourhood. The old adage about not being able to see the forest for the trees is highly relevant here. For example, take a person that plans over-the-top extravagant upgrades to the home with the idea that it will add an exponential amount of value to the home, but that person neglects to take into account the neighbourhood they live in. They put every cent they have into making their home palatial but fails to see that the houses surrounding them are in a constant state of disrepair. No matter how pristine the home is inside, and how magazine cover worthy the home is on the outside, it won’t be worth as much as it would be if it were in a neighbourhood where the surrounding houses were also offering similar curb appeal.
It is better to approach renovations with an objective in mind.
Consider what the space will be used for. Will it be used as a rental property later? Then durability is the essential need. Will this be the space to spend your golden years in? Then low-maintenance would be the thing here.
Is this space occupied by a young family that is growing, if not expanding? Then aesthetics and functionality may be the most important goals here.
That being said as much as a person values their Scarborough home and even if they have no immediate plans to put it on the market, it is still a financial asset that needs to be invested in with the intention of selling, no matter how distant that may be. Luxury cabinets and vanities, new flooring, and renovations to bathrooms and kitchens are all sound investments that increase both functionality and resale value. This is perfect because industry professionals suggest the formula in finding balance between object and budget can be found by determining how long you plan to live in the home vs how immediate the need is to actually add resale value. For someone that plans to be in the home for the next decade, the focus should be on personal needs for the functionality of a room. For someone who plans on moving within the next five years, then the focus should be added to resale value.
When planning your luxury cabinet and vanity installation in Scarborough there are many factors to consider. Locate a locally owned business that will be available from start to finish for your project and see how easy it is to get the space you desire in your home today.
