Every homeowner innovates and recreates or aspires to recreate his/her home after a few years. There can be multiple reasons why s/he desires to do it. Extension, convenience, adding new features, removing drawbacks and so on. To accomplish this, one has to find innovative ways to recreate one's home. 

No doubt, budget, cost, timeline, priorities happen to be significant parameters. The right planning of requirements, planning, and innovative ideas with the right workforce's appointment might result in dream home recreation. Let us look at these factors, point by point and see how creative your home recreation can be. 

1> Identify the necessary additions/removals:

Be innovative, look around, check the current trends and new things and make a suitable list of new items that can be added and what old, outdated things to be removed. This list should be made with the involvement of all the domestic stakeholders, family members. Each person might be able to contribute to reasoning. Once the list is made, maybe it can be sequenced based on their priorities. As a step further, each component's possible cost can be gathered through available sources to get an idea.

2> Plan and design:

Based on the input from the above point, do brain-storm on the placement of the above component in the common area. While doing this, it might be a good idea to keep the latest trend of time-and-movement principals in mind along with efforts, age of the family members, and frequency of usage of the item, importance and time/season of the usage, division of work, getup/look and feel-good factors, the necessity of light, air, and breeze, colours and shades and their effect, storage and loft areas and essential the kitchen.

Besides, it is also important to consider the seasonal impact on various things. It is vital to keep the house sufficiently warm in winter. In summer, sufficient air circulation takes priority. From a security point of view, it might be necessary to revisit the foundation, walls and roof. For day to day necessities, the water supply, electrical lines, and drainage become essential. The carpentry work also needs attention given monsoon.

3> Innovation in focus areas:

Depending on the family status, name and occupation area, try to bring out those things in the prominent areas to promote that specialty. The business area might bring multiple visitors. On the whole, people can have a particular image about the specific homeowner and based on the owner's background, so, garden, parking area, main entrance, approach road and their presentation should be focused, which might be pleasing to the eyes—visitors' area in the front. In a way, this innovation may feed to owners' image. Maybe a future provision can be made for Banks, Insurance offices, utility shops, supermarkets, and similar shops within the home areas, which can be a 'win-win' situation.

4> Less frequented areas:

Comparatively less important things can be pushed inside. The kitchen, bathroom etc., can be pushed on the backside. Cattle shades, horse stables, storage areas are generally NOT visited frequently. These creations can be planned well behind in the property. Apart from these areas, as mentioned above, there can be many other things in a home that may NOT be useful in a normal life cycle. These things can also be pushed behind. Servant quarters, water storage, tanks, and pump room need not be in the front.

5> Appointment of correct executors:

 Once all the above things are outlined and finalized, proceed with the right architect, engineers' and workers on supporting add-ons. These people should be validated and scrutinized based on their profile, background about their track records and trustworthiness. They should be able to produce and deliver legitimate outputs. They must deliver the results as per the visualization and the expectations within the estimated budget and timeline. This experienced team can suggest new innovative improvements from time to time, as the work progresses, highlight or escalate the problematic areas in time, and best, based on their experience, they might be able to either solve the problems on their own or suggest a work-around for a possible show-stopper issue.
