Picture this: you’ve been living in your home, be that a house or an apartment, and it has been years since it has felt new to you, not to mention how it has ceased that feeling of home we all crave when residing somewhere. There are many elements that have quit matching your taste, and you feel uncomfortable and frustrated in your own home. Ring any bells?
Renovating your home can be a timely process that also slowly strips you from your money, especially when increasingly more problems arise ranging from pipes being in the wrong places to rot or cracks being revealed within your building’s foundations and walls.
To satisfy that craving for novelty, one thing you can do is to carry out smaller renovations yourself, which is what we are here to give you ideas on. These small innovations will be easy enough to be classified even as a pregnant woman’s job, so don’t get discouraged!
Let’s dive into all the advancements you can make to your home by room without spending your entire mortgage and maybe check out how to optimize the functioning of your home once you’re done refreshing it.
Entrance
The entrance to a home is the first thing everyone sees when glancing or arriving at your home. It is the first impression any guests get of you and your personal life, so making it feel new, more representative of you, and less commercial or common helps make your home feel like “home”.
One way to do this is to repaint your door and its frame. You can paint it any color you want, and even mismatch the frame from the door panel if you feel like that is representative of you and you like the way it looks.
Another thing you can do is change the doorknob to your entrance to something safe but aesthetically fitting. You can go either ornamental or modern and sleek, with many options in between.
Lastly, for the exterior of your entrance, try adding some ornaments such as a new doormat, some statues if they fit, or some plants to give your home a lively and welcoming feeling to newcomers.
As for the interior, the first thing you should be doing is organizing and getting rid of any clutter within the entrance of your home. Adding cabinets, hooks, and cubbies to your entrance allows for any shoes, coats, and accessories to stay organized or hidden away. You can also opt for some type of shelving to be able to put any items your drop off when entering on.
Living room
Your living room is one of the most important areas in your home thanks to it being the main meeting point for guests, you, family members, roommates, and so on. Try to make enough space so whenever anyone comes to your living room to relax and hang out, there is space for everyone to stay comfortable.
Repainting your living room to a new color, making an accent wall with a solid color, or adding shapes to your wall all enhance your area and give it a creative, bold twist. One detail that has been trending lately is feature walls that add faux arch shapes, circles, or other such things to highlight one of the focal points within a room.
If you’re looking to add some pizzazz to the bottom of your room rather than the top, purchasing some extremely durable floor paint can go a long way in totally transforming the area.
Adding patterns to your floor or colors to your floor will make it feel alive. Your color options can range from accent colors, monochromatic colors, analogous colors, complementary colors, neutral colors, and so much more.
Buying new accent pillows can also do the trick, or buying a new and quirkier coffee table as your centerpiece. Plants, artsy vases, and throw rugs are also great options when trying to renew your home.
Ottomans, bean bag chairs, and poofs are good options for extra seating that doesn’t take up much space when stored and also add personality to your living room space, especially if you match colors properly to your liking.
Kitchen
In a kitchen, there are two things one notices at first and those things are the cabinets and the flooring. Paint is your best friend when trying to make your home feel new, and repainting your cabinets will do a 180 on your kitchen.
Once repainted, switching out the cabinet handles and adding metals and shapes that are transformatively paired with the new cabinet colors will add that extra touch that you’ve been missing from your kitchen. Some color combos to try are teal and gold handles or green with silver or gold handles depending on the shade.
Repainting your kitchen tiles is also an option, as it is with any part of your house. This isn’t always necessary though since kitchen cabinets do tend to draw the eye a little more.
Switching out your kitchen faucet will make worlds of difference as well. It can make your washing experience more convenient if you get a taller faucet and can accentuate your cabinet handles and other ornamental items.
Adding a new backsplash to your kitchen yourself can entirely transform the space as well, especially when it matches everything.
Your kitchen windows and windowsills also deserve some love, so maybe add some decorative items to them.
Bedroom
If painting your walls is overdone, then adding wallpaper is the way to go. Adding an accent wall behind your bed full of patterns can give a whole new aura to your sleeping space and immerse you in a fantasy world.
New shades, curtain rods, and curtains won’t only change the way you sleep and wake up but also can be an aesthetic addition to your walls without cluttering them with wall hangings.
New bed linens and sheets that match your walls will also make it feel more tied together.
Roofing
Another great way to level up your home is to get a roof replacement. There are many different types of roofing options to consider, with the most popular being architectural, metal and flat – which all enhance your home’s safety and increase curb appeal.
