Prioritising rooms during home renovation saves money and prevents having to reverse previously completed work.
Start With Daily Friction
Identify areas of your home that are used most. Even though your child might use their bedroom to store their stuff, the areas that create the most friction in your daily life should be the first to receive your attention.
Fix Structural Problems First
Damp failing joists and a leaking roof will affect adjacent rooms. Ideally these problems should be sorted before cosmetic work is carried out.
Think About How You Actually Live
A growing family might need extra bedrooms. Someone who works from home might need a room to work in. Consider your household and how they live now, not as they did five years ago.
Consider Sequencing Carefully
By undertaking to install kitchens and bathrooms first (plumbing and electrics run through walls so you are ‘digging up’ finished rooms), subsequent redecoration of adjacent rooms will create less inconvenience as trades can work within the recently completed decoration.
Weigh Up Return on Investment
However in period stone buildings like those found in the Cotswolds, the return for a renovation in kitchens and bathrooms will typically be greater than for decoration of adjacent rooms.

Get the order right and each room will build on what you have done so far, instead of undoing it.
