By Cristy Lane


Anguish and misery are oftentimes the common emotions that surface when partners begin an abode renovation task. She desires a cozy living space, similar to a cottage in the countryside while he wants a recreation room with futuristic furnishings. Both have strong beliefs and would not relish backing off.

A full-blown quarrel can happen anywhere between the time that the building materials are delivered and the moment that the final wallpaper in place in its destined location. Below are some tips that can help ease the brewing tension when couples decide to go for a major abode renovation.

Tip # 1: The couple should be in accord as to the kind of renovation necessary. Many partners think that, since they've lived in that abode for quite some time, it's easy to pinpoint what areas call for to be renovated even without drawing out a plan right at the start. Then they take it in stride that there might indeed be certain areas that would also call for repairs. Then, when the renovation is already underway, they discover that certain areas also require to be repaired or remodeled; however, their money has already been used up for another renovation going on at another part of the abode. This causes tension. The best way to keep the arguments from ever occurring is for the husband and wife to spend enough time to seriously talk about the renovation needs of their abode.

Tip # 2: You must never forget what is most important in your life. Abode renovation and other matters are not as essential as the relationship that a husband and wife have forged over the years. Remember this when there are moments during abode refurbishments that both you are your partner are running out of patience. Even if you and your spouse cannot agree on everything, a little compromise would go a long way in preserving the relationship. Never mind that the walls of the bedroom are not painted in your favorite color, as long as you share that room with the person you care for.

Tip # 3: Always remember that you and your partner are a team. Never, ever argue in front of the home renovation contractors. Because of this, the people you hire to renovate your home might lose their respect for both of you; as a result, they might give you substandard results since they figure that you would not mind anyway since you are both busy taking each other down. Keep in mind that you and your better half should be united in this. Show the world that, together, you can conquer almost anything, even the daunting task of home refurbishments.
