Protect Your Furniture During a Project

Remodel

May 19, 2020

    Remodeling your home is an exciting venture, but sometimes it can get pretty messy. Dust and debris are a natural side effect of many home improvement endeavors. No one wants their furniture covered in dust and paint. Keep these tips close at hand once your remodel adventure begins.

    If you know which room you are remodeling first, then move everything out of the work zone. You will want to make sure the renovation area is as empty as possible. Give yourself a head start by planning storage space ahead of time for any furniture you will need to move. You can make space in another room or even rent a small storage unit for large furniture pieces.

    Sometimes you just don’t have room to move the china cabinet or dining table. You can protect your furniture with heavy plastic sheets. Not only will it prevent things like paint from ruining the finish, but it can also prevent debris and dust from getting into the nooks and crevices of more intricate woodwork.

    Most remodels will include paint or chemicals of some kind. If possible, remember to open your windows to let in some fresh air and use fans and filters. This will help eliminate the fumes inside your home and keep dust and debris from piling up on your window screens.
