Advice

Good renovations start with the right questions.

Before you start buying things, get clear on what isn’t working, what matters most and what you still need to figure out.

Know what matters before you start making decisions.

These articles and planners are here to help you think things through before we talk. They won’t design the project for you. They’ll help you ask better questions.

Renovation Planning

Renovation Decision Map

You don’t need to solve the whole renovation at once. Start here and work through the questions in order.

  1. 1

    What’s happening now

    Start with what is not working in the room today.

  2. 2

    What needs to change

    Think about use, comfort, storage and access.

  3. 3

    What decisions connect

    Renovations are connected. One change can affect layout, lighting, plumbing and finishes.

  4. 4

    What is still unknown

    Some answers have to wait until we know what the room — and the house — will allow.

  5. 5

    What to plan next

    Bring your priorities, your questions and anything you’re unsure about.
