For all of us, the home is what our entire lives revolve around, this goes for renters as well as homeowners. It's where you eat, sleep, socialize and store all the things that matter most. Many homeowners look for that elusive home improvement that will make a substantial impact on their home without making a huge dent in their budget. This is why some affordable renovation projects for your home have been gathered here in this article.
Get out the paint. It's easy to take the small things for granted. Applying a fresh coat of paint is one of the simplest and cheapest ways to give your home a fresh look. Painting your front door an attractive colour takes very little time and provides a budget-friendly update. Your home will be more desirable to buyers if you are thinking of putting it on the market, all because of a simple coat of paint. Focus on first impressions and high-traffic areas, like your foyer and main hallway, kitchen and family rooms.
Get some light going. It makes a huge difference when you feel comfortable in the home, and lighting is important in creating the best atmosphere in the living environment. Lighting is for ambiance, aesthetics, tasks, and seeing better in your home. Direct or task lighting is focused in the space you are trying to work. Other spaces should use less bright lights that create the atmosphere you are seeking. After you have made your decision, you just need to pick the lights and purchase them. Having lighting that serves it's purpose to help you see is number one, but then you need to think about what type of light creates the feeling of the room that you seek. Remember to treat lights like furniture. Lights need to look good, and serve their purpose.
In a home, flooring covers the entire place and the surface area they take up is enormous. When you walk in a home, you immediately notice the flooring, and this creates an atmosphere in the kitchen, bathroom and other areas. And tiling can add a lot to those spaces if it's done properly. Studies show that tile floors increase a home's resale value more than any other flooring option. They're durable, attractive, easy to clean and available in a wide range of colours, patterns and finishes.
It's a rather hefty proposition to renovate the bathroom, and for a home with a single bathroom it is even tougher. Less is more - a pristine, uncluttered layout utilizing clever storage will make your bathroom appear spacious and inviting. A recessed niche in the wall will add valuable space in the bathroom, and you can put the soap and shampoo in these places, also the mirror can double as a cabinet, saving space. Start by re-caulking around sinks, showers, toilets and tubs to get rid of unsightly grime. Unless you've got plenty of experience, though, hire a professional to do the job. Doing this job takes a lot of skill, but luckily it does not cost a lot.
Your home insurance agent should always be informed whenever you begin to do home renovations, so they can give you guidance and let you know how your policy protects you.
