Everyone has seen the home decorating shows where they do a complete home makeover transformation in a day, or even in a couple of hours. They’re fascinating to watch. It’s clear that a lot of work goes into making the deadline. Not to mention, a huge team of people with a undisclosed budget. Folks, it’s tv not necessarily reality. Is it really possible to change your whole home in just a day? The truth is that it is difficult. However, you can change a lot in a short amount of time if you’re smart about it. You might want to give yourself a little more than 24 hours, though. Even if you do want to do it all in a day, you may be able to if you take the right approach.
Start with Thorough Planning
Before you do anything, you need to have a solid plan in place. The plan should involve not just what you want to do but every step you need to take to carry them out. Once you’ve decided how you want to change your home, create a schedule of how long each task will take and what order you will do it in. Ideally, you’ll be able to leave some extra time, in case anything goes wrong or takes longer than you predicted. Do what you can to prepare, from writing lists to creating mood boards.

Get Help
Home makeover problems always have big teams of people working, usually with a few people helping out in each room. If you want to achieve a quick transformation of your home, you’re going to need some help. If you’re lucky enough to have kind friends or family members, they might be willing to pitch in for pizza and beer. Or if prefer to ensure a more professional job, you should hire an interior designer such as All About Interiors. If you want to paint one of your rooms, for example, you can look for painters who can get the job done in a day. Maybe there are some things you can have done in advance too. For example, you could send a chair away to be reupholstered.

Be Realistic
Even if you have a lot of people willing to help you out there’s only so much you can do in a day. So be realistic about what you’ll be able to achieve in the short amount of time. Painting or wallpapering a room isn’t out of the question but renovating an entire kitchen is going to be a stretch. Don’t go overboard when you make your plans.

Get the Most Impact for the Least Work
If you want a home makeover consider how you can make some huge changes without having to do that much. For example, painting a room can be a big and obvious change, but it doesn’t take all that long to do. Putting in a new lighting feature could give a room a new focus point, and you could get it done in hardly any time at all.
You might not be able to achieve the levels of home makeover transformation that some TV shows or designer’s do, but you can still do a lot in a day.
