The interior restoration process involves bringing the interior of a building back to its original or historically accurate condition while addressing issues related to deterioration, damage, or outdated features. Here's a general outline of the steps involved in an interior restoration process:

Assessment and Planning:

• Evaluate the current condition of the interior, identifying areas that require restoration, repair, or replacement.
• Decide upon which materials will be kept or removed.
• Research suppliers and get quotes in advance for the repairs.

Material Selection:

• Source or replicate materials that match the original ones used in the building's construction, such as flooring, wall coverings, moldings, and fixtures.
• If original materials are unavailable, choose modern materials that closely mimic the appearance of the originals.

Emptying the House:

• While preparing for the house upgrade make sure to empty all the rooms and create space for the repairs.
• Hire a storage unit and helpers to empty your house from furniture appliances and other items.

Structural Repairs:

• Address any structural issues, such as sagging floors, weakened beams, or damaged supports, to ensure the building's stability.

Surface Restoration:

• Repair or restore damaged or deteriorated surfaces, such as plaster walls, ceilings, and decorative elements. This might involve patching, re-plastering, or restoring ornate plasterwork.

Finishes and Paint:

• Strip away layers of paint and finishes to reveal the original colors and textures.
• Recreate historically accurate paint colors and decorative finishes based on historical research.

Woodwork and Trim:

• Repair, restore, or replicate wooden features like moldings, trims, and doors to match the original design.
• Use woodworking techniques to repair or replace damaged wood elements.

Flooring:

• Restore or replace flooring materials to match the original design. This could involve refinishing hardwood floors or sourcing period-appropriate tiles.

Lighting and Fixtures:

• Source or replicate light fixtures, chandeliers, sconces, and other decorative lighting elements that match the historical period.

Furnishings and Décor:

• Choose furniture and decor that reflect the time period of the building's original construction, adhering to the chosen historical style.

Final Touches:

• Reassemble the interior space, ensuring that all elements are carefully placed and aligned according to historical accuracy.
• Apply any final coatings, waxes, or protective finishes to surfaces and woodwork.

Maintenance Plan:

• Develop a maintenance plan to ensure that the restored interior remains in good condition and continues to preserve its historical integrity.
