Although we can offer plenty of inspiration for your space, there are also plenty of other resources to spark your imagination. In this article, we’ll explore the many ways you can get excited about your home renovation in Hertfordshire in this article.

The many platforms that can be a source of inspiration.

Nowadays one of the easiest places to start looking is online. Platforms like Houzz, Pinterest and Instagram offer incredible amounts of inspiration for any renovation project. From colours and materials through to storage solutions, with Pinterest it’s easy to create a mood board using these types of sites. 

On Houzz, you can browse photos of completed projects and save images that resonate with you. A good place to start is the portfolio on our Houzz profile. 

Meanwhile, Instagram enables you to follow interior designers and home renovation accounts for all kinds of inspiration. Our own social media channels, Instagram and Facebook showcase what other clients have achieved with us, and there might be styles and features right up your street.

Another source of inspiration can be architects. 

You might want to check our various home design and garden magazines like Architectural Digest, Elle Decor, or Better Homes & Gardens. 

It can help to also explore books on interior design and architecture. These can help you find specific styles that interest you and which suit your home in Hertfordshire. 

Some people find touring showrooms and open houses useful. Others like to visit furniture or home improvement stores to check out the latest trends.

Getting inspiration is a unique process for everyone. 

Take a look at interior design programmes. 

Watching home design shows can also be a great way to get creative ideas. From the Great Interior Design Challenges to Changing Rooms, these can help you decide what to do (and what to avoid!). 

You might also want to subscribe to YouTube channels focused on DIY and professional renovations. 

Consider collecting samples for your project.

Many people like to gather paint swatches, fabric samples and flooring options to see how different materials look together. This is a great way to make your project feel more ‘real’ and help you visualise the final result. 

If needed, ACR Build can work with you to create a physical or digital mood board with these samples to visualise your ideas.

Looking forward to going on holiday this summer? It can also be a chance to find ideas for your home. Travelling and exploring other cultures can also provide a wealth of ideas. Why not take photos of interesting details and features you might want to incorporate?

Make use of the latest design apps. 

Apps like SketchUp, Roomstyler or Houzz Pro enable you to create 3D models of your space and experiment with different layouts and designs. You can bring these to the table so that ACR Build can utilise them to implement exceptional design in all facets of the build.
