Living Room Remodeling

And here we are again, folks, for another awesome article about home improvement. Last week we talked about what we can do to liven up your bedroom, which we can all admit that we actually live in more than the actual living room. Well, now we will make the case that we should spend more time in our living room by remodeling it.

Remodeling your living room can be both exciting and overwhelming at the same time. How much are you willing to spend? Where do you start? Have you found a good contractor? Have you selected the most fitting furniture and accessories for your living room? These are all valid questions that will add to the complexity of your planned remodeling. So here are a few tips that would help you lower complexity, heighten excitement and guarantee that you get what you expect on the final product.

Research and Plan

This is always the first step to any endeavor. Before getting your feet wet, you have to ensure that you know what you are getting into and have considered all possibilities. A successful renovation demands a lot of forethought, knowledge and especially information. So do your research. Visit websites that showcase different living room design to take inspiration from as you try to picture out how yours will look like. Take time to develop your ideas and make sure that what you come up with is truly what you like so that you will not change your mind in the middle of the project when all the plans have been laid out and the materials have been selected. That would either be costly or just end up as a disappointment.

Consider Your Lifestyle

Your lifestyle and personality are the most important factors in planning out your living room. This determines what types of furniture you will select, the colors and the placement of everything. To do this, try to envision yourself and your family making use of the space, how gatherings will play out, or if you are expecting more family members to pop out in the next few months or years. Having a clear picture of how you will use the space will give you a clear goal and help you figure out your design.

Consult the Professionals

If you can afford it, get an interior decorator or designer that could help you envision your living room for you. Or look at the portfolios that these professionals put online, magazines, and brochures of companies that sell furniture such as IKEA. For your local needs, you can contact SolidAce Construction & Development Corp. at Dr. V. Locsin Street Dumaguete City or call 035 422-9478, 226-2880 our professionals are standing by to help with your every need, from the planning to the actual construction work of the remodeling and even through decorating.

Condo/Apartment Remodeling Preparation

Today land prices in the Philippines have sky rocketed, as a result more people turn to invest in condominium units, town houses and apartments. Owners of Condo units and apartment units may have a few things to take care off before getting our services for remodeling.

Unit owners must have an idea upon their house rules of deed of restrictions or any other documents by the homeowner’s associations that set out all the rules governing your condo/apartment, including whether special permissions are needed, what can be altered in the unit and what the common areas are.

If you have questions or clarification about what's allowed or what you need work permits for, ask your condo corporation/home owners association, preferably by e-mail. When dealing with any legal agreement it is best to have clarification and conversations in writing and email creates a nice and neat paper trail.

Majority of new condo associations have rules about when construction work can be done, and these times are often limited to 9 to 5 p.m. on weekdays only. Unless your work situation allows you to complete your project during these hours, you'll need to hire someone.We encourage that you make sure to get the formal approvals you need from both the city and the condo association before you begin. Your homeowners' association may require a deposit to cover any potential damage that may occur in the common areas.

Start off on the right foot by properly booking parking, the elevator access for materials (if available) and giving your condo's security, doormen or other staff a heads up on who is going to be coming and going from your unit. If your renovation involves any interruption to the building's main electrical or plumbing system, make those arrangements well ahead of time.

We at SolidAce Construction & Development Corp. have a team of professionals who understand the constraints normally in place with condos and apartments.

Bedroom Remodelling

Let's face it we spend more times in our bedrooms than our living room, which is a bit ironic if you think about. We are only supposed to sleep in the bedroom and the rest of our waking in our home is supposed to be in the living room; hence the name, right?

Wrong. Despite people not exercising privacy online, we value or physical privacy a lot and our bedroom is often the place that can give us that.

Plus we have our computer, TV and maybe even a small fridge there. So who needs the living room, the bedroom is where it's at.

But because we consider our bedrooms our own private fort, we often neglect it, we forget to clean and arrange it since we think nobody's going to see it anyway. But the fact of the matter is that the bedroom is our home within our house so it should reflect our personalities, not our laziness. With this in mind, we should start turning our own bedrooms into a tiny slice of dream land.

 Here are 7 ways we can remodel our bedrooms without demolishing our house.

  1. Organize - no matter how bland a place looks, if it is clean and organize it will always look pretty. This should always be the first move you do, if you haven't already. This will pave the way for the creative process to take place; with everything put in its place, your mind can begin to think of new things to add or change. And we can never be too organized, so you could probably add more furniture you could use for organizing stuff or even add a permanent cabinet that would match and make the place look unique.
  2. Paint you walls - this method is probably the fastest and cheapest method to add flare or change the overall character of your room. Choose a color that will match the trimmings and that it matches the ambiance that you are going for. You can be light and modern, warm and cozy or even bright and dazzling. Do not worry if the first color you try doesn't suit you as you can always repaint over it.
  3. Light your way - lighting can make the difference between a gloomy and creepy place, bright and holly or romantically relaxing. Just put into consideration what you usually do in your room. If you study or do some work there then bright yet soothing lighting can help you concentrate and lessen strain on your eyes. But if the room is truly just a place to relax with your spouse, then a romantic dimmable effect might be more appropriate. It all really depends on your final goal.
  4. Find furniture that matches - Before you start to remodel you must always have an end goal in mind. Look around in different interior design websites of product catalogs from companies like IKEA which can give you great ideas that you can implement in your bedroom, and maybe even find furniture that you like.

Usually for remodeling jobs you need a professional that can guide you. Contact SolidAce Construction & Development Corp. at Dr. V. Locsin Street Dumaguete City or call 035 422-9478,226-2880 and our expert staff can help you decide on how exactly you can remodel your bedroom, either to increase the value of your home or simply to ensure that your favorite place is as good as can be.

Remodel your Bathrooms

Most of us Filipinos do not give our bathrooms a lot of thought when we plan our houses. We often just ensure that we have a suitably sized and working one, caring less for the aesthetics because we believe the money will be better spent on other portions of the house.

But then when we see how beautiful the bathrooms in some hotels and feature homes are, we often wish that ours could have been a bit nicer than it is now. I guess it is a cultural aspect, but really most of us just don't realize that we actually spend a considerable amount of time in the bathroom.

We see and use it every day so if it looks, smells and feels beautiful then it could add a lot to our comfort, since that is the actual reason why it is called a comfort room. We should not cringe every time we go to a comfort room, public or private, because it looks and smells dirty, in fact that room should be one of the cleanest and prettiest places of any house or establishment.

It is only recently that we are starting to see the benefits of a beautiful bath or comfort room. We should not skimp on the budget for this since this will be one of the most used places in the house, so if it is beautiful, you will never dread going to the bathroom as it will always be a pleasant experience. Here are some things to consider when designing your bathroom.

  • Light and ventilation - lights set the mood in any room and it goes the same for the bathroom. If the lighting is not right it could feel a little eerie or creepy with that huge mirror facing you and shadows could play tricks on our imagination. Needless to say, ventilation is required to ensure that foul smells are expelled quickly so the location of the duct and the type of fan used are important.
  • Relative size of fixtures - toilet fixtures such as toilets, sinks and tubs vary in size and shape and about the only thing to consider about this you and your family. Pick the sizes that would fit the average person in your family and remember to choose to accommodate for the bigger members rather than for the smaller ones. A smaller person can make due on a bigger toilet but a bigger person will have a hard time on a small one. This goes the same for the size of the tub but is opposite for the height of the sink, a smaller person will have a hard time on a high sink while a tall person will have no problem in lower ones.
  • Choose the appropriate surfaces - the bathroom's surfaces dictate the aesthetic of the room so choose wisely and stick with your theme. Porcelain such as tiles are the most commonly used while synthetic stone is also gaining popularity. But whatever you choose, ensure that water does not splash on the surfaces a lot as this would cause molds and mildew if not cleaned regularly.
