When selecting your home, the basic necessities—bedrooms, bathrooms, a kitchen, and a living room—are usually quite generic. To make your space a better fit for your personality and practical needs, it’s important to consider the smaller and larger renovations you might want for your home. That said, house remodeling is a difficult task that, ideally, you will only have to complete once. We’ve compiled 10 of our favorite house renovation ideas to assist you in building your dream home.
Colorful Bathroom
The classic bathroom usually features liberal amounts of white tiles and a splash of marble or timber. Make a feature of your bathroom space with the addition of color, whether through feature tiles, statement tapware, or lighting.
Equip your home with solar panel
Solar panels help you generate electricity in a sustainable manner while reducing your power bills and reliance on fossil fuel-based energy sources. According to the solar installer company Life Solar, homes with solar power can sell for 4% to 10% more than those without.
Bestow Fresh soul to your wall
Simply changing your wallpaper or adding a fresh coat of paint can be effective and affordable ways to give your rooms new life. For example, in the kitchen, instead of replacing whole cabinet doors and tiles, which can be quite costly, use tile paint to refresh the cabinets. New wallpaper can also be a great solution to change up your space and is less time-consuming than painting.
kitchen Island
With the kitchen island converted into a sitting/eating breakfast bar, guests have a reason to congregate in the kitchen. An added countertop overhang allows guests to sit closer to the bar. The cook’s needs are also addressed with a sink installed in the kitchen island. Dated pendant lights have been replaced with unobtrusive recessed lights. Clean lines are preserved with the counter-depth side-by-side refrigerator.
Open Shelving
Open shelving replaces the former wall cabinets in this kitchen. Open shelves clear the kitchen of that dark, heavy look and make everything feel lighter and brighter. The owner cautions that it’s a move to be made with great thought, though. Make sure you already have storage in place for items that will lose their home. Whatever ends up on the open shelves will be on full display to anyone who walks by.
Tv Wall
By mounting your TV onto the wall, you will regain some of the floor space you desperately need, as you eliminate the need for a TV cabinet. This allows you to maximize your floor space and allocate your money elsewhere.
Use Mirrors
Add a touch of magic to your small bedroom with a large mirror. Not only does it create the illusion of a larger space, but it also serves as a statement piece that elevates your room’s style.
Statement Book Wall
Select one wall and dedicate it entirely to books with floor-to-ceiling shelves. Instead of art or wall hangings, you’ll have some of your favorite books on display and easily accessible. You can also create your own organization system easily, whether by color or association. ‘Books can find a home anywhere and be organized in the most personal of arrangements.’
Outdoor Space is Miracle
Don’t think about your outdoor space as a singular unit, no matter how big or small. Dividing the area into sections will make it more functional and useful. “Think about carving out separate seating and dining areas. Benches are one of my favorite outdoor furniture pieces to create this effect. They are used for seating, accent tables or even ottomans. Plus, they are great to display planters and candles,”
