If not you'll waste time doing daily jobs, get frustrated by poor storage, and feel like your house is not the home you really need.
So, ask yourself the following: Do you have sufficient storage...and is it in the right place? Are your rooms under, or over-used? Maybe the space would work better for you with a new layout?
If you feel like you've outgrown your home but don't want to move out, think about working with what you've got...
Many homes can be re-organized without major renovation, but sometimes a new look at an old space can bring amazing results. It may mean investing more than you intended, but it will pay off by adding value to your life, and increasing the value of your biggest investment: your home, so long as you've spent your money wisely! And if your budget doesn't stretch to major re-modelling, don't worry: there are lots of ways to make your home match who you are today without breaking the bank.
Are you wanting to renovate to stay? or renovate to sell? This is an important decision that will influence how you spend your budget. Take a look at other homes in your area to see what they are selling for. This may help you answer the “should we stay, or should we go” question... Most houses can be re-modelled to suit your needs, but at some point the cost becomes too high. Over developing is a common error: don't make it, you're spending your equity!
If it's really time to quit and look for another home more suited to your needs, it's time to “design to sell”: invest the right amount of money, in the right areas, to make your existing home meet the expectations of it's next owner. That's where “Design to Sell” comes in.

Happy renovating, or Happy selling...whatever you decide!
