Begginer-friendly tactics!
Home improvement projects are usually worth the sweat and money after you gain compliments from your friends and neighbors. But the ultimate test to your improvement project is when you start to live conveniently at home. After all, a home construction isn't primarily for aesthetic purposes but to improve and elevate your home living.
Home living aside, renovation projects are also useful as part of a "buy-and-flip" or "flipping" strategy commonly used in the real estate market. Renovation projects are also used by homebuyers if they bought a used home.
Here 5 renovation projects that you can do.
Front Yard
Depending on how you execute this, a front yard makeover could the most inexpensive renovation project and the fastest way to enhance your house's exterior. It's nice to have a paved walkway, porch lights, more flower bushes, and mini garden statues. Keeping your front yard fresh and alive can surely wow your neighbors. Having a clean and beautiful front yard can also add plus points and entice potential home buyers.
Bathroom
Keep it simple. Focus on replacing outdated fixtures, re-grout the shower, and brightening the room with white paint. If plumbing isn't a problem, then at least make sure that it's still in pristine condition. You can add a few shelves or space-saving cabinets and maybe decorate the mirror with lights or add a frame around it to enhance the vanity area.
Kitchen
When renovating the kitchen, think about the floor layout and work space. According to DIY Network, it's called "The Triangle". It's the space where your cooking area, sink, and dishwasher line up to make seamless work flow in the kitchen. If you already have a great kitchen layout, then you can add in the hardware, cabinets, and appliances to make your kitchen a place where families can actually spend quality time.
Brighten the rooms
Most people don't like living in a dark and dingy room. Repainting the walls white, replacing the light fixtures, and moving a few furniture around can make your room look brighter and bigger. The floor is also a part of the room, so ask yourself if you want to change the tiles or switch to hardwood floors. Keep in mind that the floor play a role in tying together the whole house since it'll one of the places an interested buyer will constantly look at. Consider the floor layout before doing anything, where the windows are facing and the position of entryways and exits so you'd know where to paint and where to move your furniture around.
