Bedroom Renovation Planning Checklist

I find a well planned bedroom renovation can be completed smoothly when the correct groundwork has been completed prior to making any decisions.

Measure the Room Properly

Measuring the room and recording the dimensions of each wall, ceiling, window, and door, as well as any alcoves, will be crucial in determining the sizes of pieces of furniture to be used in the bedroom, as well as how much flooring will be required.

Check What Needs Official Sign-Off

Work carried out in bedrooms does not always fall easily under the approval of Building Regulations. Ensure you know what needs approval before you decide on any structural works to the bedroom, i.e. removing of a wall, or even adding a dormer window to the roof. Approval is required and any work undertaken without will create huge problems when trying to sell your property.

Decide What You Are Keeping

Sort out the keeping items first and then decide on the best way to remove them from your new Bedroom Renovation. The worst scenario would be to have to remove the fitted wardrobes and install new flooring around the old furniture. As we said before Bedroom Renovation and the cost of a Bedroom Renovation can go over budget if we defer this decision too many times.

Plan the Order of Trades

Any structural changes are carried out first, followed by the work of the electrician and the plasterer, after which the room is decorated. The work of laying the floor coverings is carried out last. By planning the work in this way, you can ensure that work is carried out in the correct order and avoid costly delays by having to return to previously completed work.

Pick Finishes to Suit the Light

Test the paint samples on the bedroom walls. See how they look in the morning and in the evening. A north-facing bedroom can make a cool grey colour look lifeless and harsh. These colours need to be warmed up with the right bedroom finish.

Sort Temporary Sleeping Arrangements Early

If your bedroom is going to be out of action for more than a few days then you need to sort out where you are going to sleep before the work starts.
