How to Live at Home During a Renovation

Living at home during renovations can be stressful but manageable with planning. First, set up a temporary kitchen or bathroom if those spaces are under construction. Seal off work zones with plastic barriers to minimize dust and noise. Establish “quiet hours” with contractors to protect family routines. Keep valuables stored safely and communicate clear boundaries about which areas are off-limits. If possible, schedule renovations in stages so your whole home isn’t disrupted at once. Consider short stays with friends or family for particularly messy phases like demolition. Portable storage units help keep belongings protected and out of the way. Staying flexible, organized, and prepared for inconvenience makes the process less overwhelming and allows you to keep daily life running smoothly.
