Home remodeling will allow you to create a more comfortable, functional, and stylish residence. However, living amidst the home improvement project can be difficult. Here are a few tips to help you get through the challenging transition to your dream space.

How to Continue Living in a Home Remodeling Project

1. Hide Clutter

The buildup of materials and tools can make a space feel overwhelming, especially if it’s in the middle of demolition. To keep everything contained to the project’s area, create work zones for the remodeling contractors, designating places for them to neatly gather materials or store bulky equipment.

Temporarily clear an adjacent room so that the professionals have a space to stay organized. To prevent potential clutter from feeling overwhelming, keep it out of sight by closing the room’s door at night or adding a curtain that the contractors can close when they leave for the day.

2. Remove Valuables

Although the remodeling team will be careful, you should remove fragile items and valuables from the work area to prevent accidental damage to them. Cover glass vases in bubble wrap, relocate heirlooms, and take down family portraits; then store them in another room until the project is complete. If you’re tight on space, place these precious items in a storage unit or ask a friend if you can keep them at their house.

3. Create Dust Barriers

Dust will be created during the home remodeling project as cabinets come out or walls are taken down. Contain these particles by asking the contractors to hang plastic sheets over all the openings that lead from the workspace into other areas of the home. Until the project is over, you should also dust and vacuum daily to avoid tracking the substance across the floors and into other rooms.
