Or the one you like best so that the room you spend the most time in makes you happy and excited to continue renovating (because trust me, the novelty will wear off quickly). You could also start with the most affordable room or the one that will take the least amount of time and effort to fix up.
If that still leaves you bewildered and unsure then why not start at the beginning and work your way from there. And the very beginning is of course … the front door.
Fabulous front doors
Changing your front door is a quick and easy way to update your home. It also gives your home character and tells visitors a story about the people living in the house. You can buy readymade or have a bespoke door made. Custom entry doors Sydney is a great place to start looking if you live in the Sydney area. Entry doors are usually made from wood, fibreglass or steel and come in a range of colours and finishes.
Hinges and handles can be discreet or decorative elements. You can include stained or frosted glass in the door itself, or in sidelights and transoms. This is a great option if you want privacy but would still like some natural light in your entryway.
Enchanting entryways
Speaking of entryways, this is the next stop on your journey to a renovated house. Entryways are multi-purpose spaces that need to be functional but also attractive spaces. Functional items that you might want to include are a mirror to check yourself in before leaving the house; a place to hang coats, hats and other paraphernalia; a surface or drawers to leave your keys so they won’t get lost (again); and a light that you can leave on when you’re out so that you don’t come home to a dark house.
Luxurious living rooms
Most entryways lead to a living area. This is your comfort zone. A place where you and your guests will spend a lot of time and similarly you should take your time deciding how to make this space a home. In the same way as the front door gives clues about the people who live inside, the living room space needs to reflect the occupants of the home.
You may love the sleek, all-white look of a modern New York apartment but if you have three kids, two dogs and a couple of cats then this look will quickly become less sleek and more eeeek! If you love renovating, then you can make this space distinctly on-trend but if you don’t want to change your look with every trend change opt for a more classic style with a few elements of your own style thrown in to make it personal.
