Home renovation projects are exciting at the beginning and at the end, once the work is complete, but everything in between can be stressful! It is normal to feel stuck or uninspired during this time, so hopefully this will offer a few creative ways to regain your inspiration, focusing on activities or hobbies you have that aren’t directly house reno related, such as going on cycling holidays to reignite your motivation.
Take a Day Trip for a Change of Scenery

It is tough when you are surrounded by mess and chaos at home. This is why stepping away even for a few hours, can shift your perspective and improve your mood, whether this is visiting a nearby town, going to a museum, or visiting a nature reserve.
Visit Home Design Stores or Exhibitions
If you are looking for new ideas and trends for your reno project, visiting a design showroom, stores like IKEA, or a local home expo can give you new ideas for the project. Be sure to take photos or notes of colour palettes, furniture styles, or layouts for later.
Get Active Outdoors
Outdoor activities like walking, cycling, and gardening can reduce stress, improve your focus, and boost your physical and mental well-being. Cycling holidays combine physical activity with scenic inspiration that should refresh your mind and give you newfound inspiration.
Spend Time With Friends

It is always helpful to get a second pair of eyes on your project, especially if you have friends with good taste or experience with interior design. Hosting a casual coffee chat or lunch so that you can brainstorm ideas and get out of the house is a great way to gain fresh input and spark inspiration.
Take a Break to Focus On Yourself
A home renovation project can be all-consuming and make the one place you should be able to relax in a stressful environment. Therefore, it is helpful to take a break to focus on yourself, which could involve a spa day, a yoga class, or simply reading a book in the park or a coffee shop. These activities can help you mentally recharge for the rest of your renovation journey.
Attend a Creative Workshop or Class

A pottery class, painting workshop, or upcycling event can inspire fresh design ideas. This could be an online or in-person event, depending on your schedule and preference.
Explore Local Architecture for Inspiration
Exploring local neighborhoods or city centres can be a great way to find inspiration. Pay close attention to architectural details, garden designs, and unique facades. Be sure to take notes or pictures to adapt these ideas to your project.
Revisit Your Vision with a Mood Board

Creating or updating a mood board allows you to refocus your vision and come up with new ideas. Platforms like Pinterest are perfect for this, or you could create a physical board with magazine clippings.
Hopefully, this post will give you a few ideas for ways to regain your inspiration and reduce stress. Home renovation projects can be draining, so taking breaks and trying new activities can reignite your creativity and motivation.
