You both need to sacrifice some things to maintain a harmonious relationship when you live together. This union usually lacks a space where each partner can be themselves without judgment or criticism. This is possible if you’re willing to be creative and use the extra distance to give your partner as a gift on their anniversary.
Remember that planning and time are required to create a homeroom your partner will love. If you’re looking for a way to make this a special gift, we have some tips on how to get it right.
Select the space to transform
To transform a space into a gift for your partner, you must choose the area to be changed. Basements, laundry rooms, attics, and pantry are great candidates for renovations. You should also look at the characteristics of each room to determine how much space you can gain by changing the layout.
Consider converting it into a living area if you have an attic space. You can use the entire floor and add natural light. This is usually the part of the home that people don’t use because it takes a lot to transform into a living area. Transformation may take some time and money, but you’ll get a beautiful room that will both be ideal for your partner and add value to your home.
EXAMINE ROOM THOROUGHLY
You should look at your space and note any damages, outdated pipes, and faulty installations. You should hire a building inspector who can do the job more thoroughly. They will also show you how much work and money you need to complete your project.
Fixing structural problems such as cracks, replacing wiring, and repairing inadequate insulation are all important. You will still make your home safer and healthier by making repairs.
Decide on the Concept
Creating a space in your house that your partner will love without a concept is impossible. Start with a significant idea, then gradually reduce it to achieve the perfect length. Begin by deciding what you want to use the room for, then consider how to personalize it.
It is best to use the attic for this, as it has a lot of space and no columns or walls. Draw the design plan you desire, including all the features to be added, such as the bathroom and the windows. You will better know what you can do with this space if you include as many details as possible.
GET RID OF THE UNNECESSARY THINGS
Before you begin the makeover, you must remove any unnecessary items from the area. It’s a tremendous job, mainly if this area is used for storage. However, it is the perfect opportunity to declutter, and Marie Kondo will be pleased. Use bins and skips for the entire process.
Look at what you plan to throw away, as some items may be helpful in your new design. Consider holding a yard sale to raise money for your project. This will allow you to be more extravagant with your interior design.
START FURNITURE IN THE ROOM
When furnishing a room, there are two critical things to consider: the furniture you choose and how it will be arranged. Furniture will vary depending on your vision for the area. However, you should always include that unique element to make it stand out. If you’re creating a sewing space, consider adding a comfortable sofa or lounge chair so your partner can stretch after long hours of sitting.
Hang the tools up on the wall to make it easier for your partner to locate them and to give him more space. But don’t just think about the aesthetics. Build good ventilation because they will work with glues and other coatings emitting fumes.
Finally
Creating a room your partner will love is a massive project, but it will be the perfect anniversary gift. Follow these steps and start your project on time. Don’t forget to enjoy yourself and be creative.
