I love redecorating my home. I think everyone does when we get right down to it. We all want to spend a few weeks renovating our property and making it beautiful inside and out. The best time to do this is usually in the summer when you’ve got a lot of spare time. Particularly, if you are making big changes to the house that are going to put it out of use for a little while. The weather will be great so while the paint is drying or someone’s putting down the flooring you can sit outside in the garden. Or course, you may want to consider making some upgrades to your home in the spring break. Here are some ideas you could try.
Hardwood Flooring
One of the first things that you might want to think about is adding hardwood floors to your home. Hardwood floors will give your home a stylistic simplicity. If you want the property to look modern and beautiful, this is a great choice to make. It’s one way that you can make your home look less cluttered and cleaner. The only issue that you need to think about is the cost. Laying down hardwood floors can be quite expensive, but I think the advantages make the change worth it. You may want to think of hardwood flooring as a practical advantage as well as a change to your style. Once you’ve got the hardwood floors, you’ll find spills are a lot easier to clean up. This is certainly a big benefit if you have kids in your home.
New Light Fixtures
New light fixtures in the home can be used to frame certain aspects of it and will compliment your new flooring, beautifully. Unlike carpet, hardwood floors are reflective. New lights will make the flooring shine. You can carefully choose where you put the new fixtures. For instance, you might have one over a coffee table to frame it and make it the center of the room. Or you could have a line of lighting above a breakfast bar in the kitchen. New light fixtures require a lot of work, but they are still worth the effort due to the impact that they will have on your home.
Repainting The Rooms
You might want to consider repainting the rooms in your home. You might not be aware of this, but different colors have different effects on the perception of the home. This trick is often used when owners are trying to sell a house. But it can be beneficial to the homeowner as well. If your home often feels cramped and quite compact, try painting some of the rooms cream. This will open up the space and make rooms seem bigger. If you hang up some paintings or art, you can then get a beautiful, minimalist design.
Curb Appeal
Lastly, you might want to consider upgrading the curb appeal of your home. If you do this, I suggest you start by planting some new flowers in your garden. Make sure that they are colorful and eye catching. They should certainly make your home stand out from the rest and make it look stunning.
