How to Plan Ahead for a Successful Finished Space

Dorene Gomez Interiors will help you take your remodel to the next level.

It’s time to start getting your home back into working order. We’re sharing professional tips to help you get started with a furniture plan so you can start living your life again in your new space right after your remodel. The number one thing we tell our clients is that furniture should be ordered when your remodel starts to assure it arrives once the remodel is completed. Waiting till the end of the remodel forces you to use your existing pieces that most likely won’t fit the new style of the space. The key decisions you’ll make are what is the right sized furniture and features you will need for the new space.

As your remodel project continues through the design process don’t forget that each remodel is unique and requires exceptional decision making so that no detail is ever left out. Knowing your design style for the space, along with the furniture needs, will coincide with the remodel concept. This includes ordering a selection of new larger pieces of furniture, area rugs, and lighting while the remodel is in process. The addition of both new accessories and art will add in the personality of the homeowner. These products produce and capture the uniqueness of the new space.

So how and where do you start your furniture selections? Each space being remodeled needs to be considered, so you can plan out a perfect layout. The right furniture style and size can make all the difference in how your remodeled space looks and feels. You can get inspiration from Pinterest, Houzz, and Instagram for remodel or furniture ideas that will inspire you. Referencing back to those photos will give you and your designer a better idea of what you are wanting for your space. Always consider your lifestyle as you and your family plan out each space. What type of seating areas are needed? Do you need space for large parties and gatherings? How will the spaces be used in your next phases of life?

It is especially useful to have a floor plan drawn up by Dorene Gomez Interiors, with the furniture in place to start the selection process. Always start with your larger pieces such as sofas, dining tables, and beds. Follow those selections with the smaller items like assorted tables, rugs, and lounge chairs. Accessories, lamps, and artwork will be your final choices to pull the spaces together.

We can help guide you, not only for your upcoming remodel, but also for any new remodeled spaces that have furniture needs. We always collaborate with our clients by using a combination of newly ordered furniture pieces along with their existing pieces. On completion, we pride ourselves on the final touch to make sure everything is just perfect. We feel that our finishing touch to any home interior, is the key for tying room designs together and making the space live-in ready.
