Of course, there’s no place like home, and well, there shouldn’t be any. Make your home the best it can be, be it in terms of appearance, comfort, smartness, or even a minor detail like the color contrast, which is definitely not minor and can have either an adverse or a positive impact on your home’s overall look and aura.
Even small details matter, but wait, there are no small details when it comes to your home! A homeowner knows that every nook and corner of their home is important, which is why they should pay close attention to the changes they’re making to it.
If you are one of those people who want their homes to look alive and be the topic of discussion for ages, you would know that you will need to make routine changes to it, what you can also call renovation. Besides, if you want to sell your house, renovating it might boost its value tenfold, obviously, depending on the renovation strategies you adopt.
Renovation Strategies that work
While there are a number of strategies that you can adopt to renovate your home, few of those actually work. Here are a few that you can try:
Work on the Street View
Though Outward appearances are said to be deceiving, you can use them as bait to attract customers if you are planning to sell your house. Apply a fresh coat of paint to the outer walls of your house. By painting, I mean using a stunning combination of colors that complements not only the exterior but also aligns with the interior of the house.
So when you have a visitor, he is not just deceived by the outward appearance but flattered by the interiors as well. This will work even well if you’re trying to sell your property and will yield a handsome amount.
Cut the Crap
When you are done with the exteriors, start with the interiors because, believe it or not, there are more utilities that we do not use than the ones that we do. Start by filtering your home of those things since they accumulate a bigger part of your house. While I know that it’s easier said than done, you need to decide if you want to keep those junkies or go ahead with the renovation. The choice is yours.
Getting rid of the utilities in the house will leave empty species behind, leaving more room for renovation and inspiration.
Innovate and Renovate
With all the empty spaces now, the house would look a little dispersed. Look for ideas that you can adopt to make your home an even better place to live in. For instance, if you have a small nook or corner that’s feeling a little lonely, you can place a bookshelf in that corner. If it’s a very small, one-marble kinda area, you may place a bookshelf that is tall but not wide.
Also, if you get a feeling of sparseness when looking at all those void parts, an Accent wall would do an excellent job of grabbing the attention of all those void areas. That does seem a little off the track, but trust me, the accent wall makes all the difference in making the area feel occupied and complete.
Upgrade the Kitchen
The kitchen is the most important part of the house; yes, the bedroom also is, and so is the patio area, but there’s something about the kitchen that attracts visitors, and hence upgrading it would be one of the wisest choices you can make.
Adding cabinets for ease and countertops or appliances may do some good. Also, a bigger part of renovating it would be repainting it and then updating the lightning conditions; this will make a lot of difference.
Work on the Rooms
Take a look at the different rooms of your place. If you were to buy a new place, would you buy this one? If YES, great; if NO, make all the changes you would want in a house. Starting with the doors and windows can be a good idea. If it’s been a long time, you might even consider changing them for good. See what’s trending, or go for something that you like.
Storage spaces are never enough, and now that you are making some changes, make some space for storage as well. You might even turn one of those tiny rooms into a storage room if you don’t have enough space to add the cupboards.
Talking of rooms, adding a second bathroom is said to have flattering effects on visitors. Take it this way: you have guests at home, and one of the guests wants to use your bathroom, but it is occupied. At this point, if you had a second bathroom, it would not only save you the embarrassment, but you will be looked upon as someone who takes basic necessities way too seriously.
Open Spaces
Open spaces are very popular these days. Consider having an open terrace with flower plants in and around the area for a cozy ambiance. You may also try upgrading the lighting on your terrace to something mild and cozy instead of bright.
Open spaces are a great way to gather for a get-together and are an instant attraction if you’re looking forward to selling your home.
Conclusion
Your home is a place of constant change, be it relations, moods, seasons, or the environment. It’s a representation of who you are, so you want to make sure that you give the best possible impression of yourself.
Every few years, take some time to see your home from the eyes of an outsider and consider the changes you want to make. Also, in the long run, if you wish to sell your property, you won’t be burdened with the renovation cost all at once. By renovating over the years, you have been adding value to your house and can expect a sumptuous amount of money.
