One’s home has become so much more important than ever before. Let’s face it. We used to just eat and sleep at home, but now our world has changed. We are working from home. Also, our kids are learning from home. And, when you have time you workout from your home. Because of this, it is important to invest in your home. Home improvements are an investment in your home’s value, but also your happiness. Read these three essential home improvement ideas for inspiration.
Maximize Outdoor Space
Whether you have a backyard, a patio, or a porch, maximizing your outdoor space is key. Getting a dose of vitamin D from taking in the sun or being surrounded by trees and flowers is healthy for you. Make the most of your outdoor space by picking the right type of outdoor furniture that is also functional. You can purchase benches that have storage bins. Additionally, you can tier your plants to utilize all of your outdoor space. Many homeowners decide to use a tower garden for growing herbs and vegetables instead of the traditional garden bed. For a great look to your outdoor area, you will want to have a boundary like a fence or a gate. The best bet is to look for fence installers that have good reviews online as well as insurance.
Redesign the Living Room
With the living room being our number one source of at-home entertainment, a living room redesign is a great investment for you and your family. You can make a tremendous difference with small changes. The most popular is making an accent wall. This can be with paint, but also you can include textures such as tile, peel and stick wallpaper, and more. Another way to redecorate your living room is to switch out the furniture. Although it has been popular to have matching sets. It is trendy to have distinct pieces from sofa, ottoman, and end tables. You can find eclectic furniture pieces online, at a thrift store, or you can play with the existing furniture you have in other rooms of your home.
Update the Bathroom
One of the best ways to add value to your home is a bathroom upgrade. Don’t worry. You can make simple additions that modernize your bathroom a lot without the help of professionals. The first thing most homeowners tackle is getting a newer vanity. Secondly, most improve the shower. It is rather easy to purchase modern showerheads that are water-efficient as well as adjustable for water flow. When doing a larger job like a toilet, tub, shower, or plumbing upgrade, it is best to find a local professional with good reviews online as well as insurance. It is better to be safe than sorry.
After a roller-coaster year, it is time to make some home improvements. With these three upgrades, you will enjoy your home more. Your family will too. With life continuing to be more at home this year, it is essential that you invest in your home. It’s a win for you, your family, and the value of your home.
We finally got round to doing our bathroom last year, and it has made such a difference. This year I want to focus on the garden which is still really overgrown even though we have lived here 4 years. We’ve tried to tackle small sections of it, but have failed to get on top of the brambles and nettles, so they still cover the lower half of the garden.
