Renovation after buying a new apartment is often a big challenge - saving money, choosing quality materials and carrying out various works in stages. These processes can become stressful if you do not have a clear strategy.

Here are some practical tips on how to plan renovations financially effectively:

The first step in planning renovations is managing your money. Many people find it difficult to save money from their salaries, but a few simple rules can help:

Promise yourself that you will transfer at least 10–15% of your monthly salary to a renovation deposit.

Make a list of renovations in order of priority. For example: at the first stage - electricity and plumbing, then - walls and floors, and finally - furniture and decor.

It is better not to start all the work at once, a phased approach will save both money and energy.

• Infrastructure: electricity, water, heating, and sanitation. This is the most important part, which has a great impact on subsequent renovation work;
• Walls and floors: paint, wall coverings, flooring;
• Cabinets, kitchen, chandeliers: furniture and lighting;
• Decoration: upholstered furniture, gloss, accessories.

After completing each stage, check that everything is done with quality.

Practical methods of money management:

Budget determination: Make a list of the cost of all necessary materials and work. Consider +10-15% for unavoidable expenses.

Be attentive to the prices of materials, the difference in prices between stores can give you great savings.

Don’t just trust your word - always ask for a justified budget.

Renovation is a process that causes a lot of stress. The main thing is to take calm steps.

• Break it down into stages: one month on electrical, then walls and flooring;
• Change priorities: when there is not enough money, postpone the decoration to the next stage;
• Small jobs (for example, painting the walls, installing the decor) you can do yourself.

Renovation for a new apartment requires not only money, but also energy, attention and organization. A phased approach, budget control, setting priorities and slow, high-quality implementation will ensure that the final result will be solid, beautiful and functional.

Proper planning, saving money and slow implementation - this is the way to make the renovation go without stress.
