ADVICE ON GIVING YOUR HOME A MAKEOVER

Updated: Aug 17, 2020

Deciding to give your home a makeover is an exciting step to take, but it might also be a scary one. Perhaps you’ve never done any renovation work unless you could count changing the layout of furnishings in your living room. The point is that you’ve probably no idea as to how you should begin with a makeover project; you simply know that you want to begin. And that’s a good place to start. These pieces of advice should help you with the rest. Let’s talk about the simplest ways to give your home a makeover.



Plan ahead.

Reading this article is a good way to start when making your plan, but you need to make sure that you’ve given this makeover project serious thought before you plunge in. You don’t want to blow the budget and realize that you’ve not done all the work you were hoping to do. In order to avoid disappointment, you need to make a list of all the things you’d like to include in your makeover. You might not be an interior designer, but you likely know what you want to change about your house’s appearance.


Start by looking around every room in the house, so as to ensure that you haven’t missed anything. Note down all the things that are bugging you, even if you’ve no idea as to how you could improve those things - the advice in this article will help you in that regard. Additionally, you could check out this home renovation e-book so as to get some advice for the initial budgeting and planning process. It’s just important that you don’t get started on any individual makeover projects, no matter how small, until you’ve considered the bigger picture for your household.


Expand your home.

The best way to improve any household is to make it bigger. Before you start knocking down walls to make your home “open plan” or hiring expensive contractors to build a conservatory for you, you should take a step back and think about the basic ways in which you could make your home feel bigger. You could really utilize the space that’s already available in your home if you just rethink your home’s layout. And, as stated in the introduction, you probably want to do more than simply rearranging furnishings. You should de-clutter your home to unload your unwanted possessions and create a minimalistic environment. Spaciousness really makes a home cozier. You could go one step further and convert your garage or even your attic into a games room or perhaps even a spare bedroom. Making better use of space will make your household feel so much bigger.


Use light smartly.

Light is a very powerful tool when it comes to the appearance of your home. Using neutral colors will use light to make rooms in your house feel naturally brighter. Additionally, the type of lighting you use can really change the vibe of a room. You might want to look into using candles and other warm forms of lighting in areas of the house such as the living room and dining room. This will create a softer and cozier feel in your home. Obviously, you should keep the harsh and bright lighting in the kitchen, bathroom, study, and other areas that need it. You just need to consider the purpose of the room in question.
