Renovating your home is an exciting project, but it can also feel overwhelming. With so many decisions to make—from budgeting to choosing the right materials—it's easy to feel unsure. At Bonae Interiors, we’re here to guide you through the entire renovation process, ensuring that every decision aligns with your vision while minimizing stress. Here are key considerations to keep in mind as you begin your renovation journey.

1. Set a Realistic Budget

One of the first steps in any renovation is setting a realistic budget. While it can be tempting to dream big, it’s important to plan carefully to avoid unexpected costs down the line. We understand that costs have changed dramatically over the years but we always wish to ensure your money is wisely invested into every detail of the project. We help our clients discuss budgets that reflect the true costs of materials, labor, and potential surprises, always building in a buffer for the unexpected. With our trusted partners, we ensure you're getting the best quality for your investment.

2. Understand Your Timeline

Renovations rarely go exactly as planned. While we work hard to stick to timelines, it’s crucial to remain flexible in case of delays, whether due to shipping, weather, or unforeseen issues in the renovation process. With careful planning and realistic expectations, we help our clients stay on track during the design process and minimize disruptions throughout the renovation process. Having a set plan at the start of any renovation will cut down on the changes and concerns that could happen on site.

3. Plan for Temporary Disruptions

Depending on the scope of your renovation, there will likely be some temporary disruptions. Dust, noise, and limited access to rooms are common, especially in larger projects. At Bonae Interiors, we take the stress out of these disruptions by working with our partners to create a clear plan and timeline, so you’ll know what to expect every step of the way.

4. Hiring the Right Partners

Selecting the right contractors, suppliers, and designers is essential for a successful renovation. We work exclusively with trusted partners, handpicked for their professionalism and high-quality work. This network of experienced professionals ensures your project runs smoothly, from start to finish, with no surprises. If you are looking

5. Reducing the Stress of Product & Selection Choices

One of the most challenging parts of any renovation is narrowing down product and material choices. With so many options available, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed. That’s where we come in. We provide expert guidance and present curated selections tailored to your style and needs. We make it easy for you to make decisions, reducing the stress of product selection so you can enjoy the process instead.

6. Creating Visuals for Confidence

To help you feel confident in every decision, we create detailed visuals and 3D renderings of your space. These images give you a clear picture of how your finished renovation will look, ensuring that every design choice aligns with your vision. With our visuals, you can rest assured that you’re making the right decisions throughout the project. (Check out the video below for a little glimpse into what this is all about!)

7. Long-Term Value & Functionality

While it's important to focus on the aesthetics of your renovation, it's equally essential to consider long-term value. Will this project increase your home’s value? Does it meet your long-term needs? At Bonae Interiors, we work with you to ensure that your renovation is not only beautiful but also functional and adds lasting value to your home.

8. Stay Flexible & Trust the Process

Finally, it’s essential to stay flexible. Renovations often reveal unexpected challenges, and being open to adjustments will help keep the process flowing smoothly. With our expertise and trusted partners by your side, we help you navigate any curveballs that come your way, ensuring that your vision stays on track.

Renovating your home doesn’t have to be stressful. With the right team, a solid plan, and expert guidance, you can transform your space into something truly special.
