We all need a change of scenery from time to time. To relax our minds, boost our spirits, increase productivity and improve the overall quality of life. This doesn’t necessarily mean you have to book a fancy cruise or tear down a few walls in your house. A little tweaking in your current living space can do the job. If your bank isn’t ready for a major overhaul, turn to your creative side. Find a professional builder and try these ideas to freshen up your home.
Add shelving and wall storage
Take a look at the photos of some nicely decorated small houses from today. See how they use every available square foot. Whimsical, right? Maximizing the potential of the available space and changing the way things are stored within it are inexpensive ways to remodel a home. You probably have cupboards, drawers and cabinets, but why settle for conventional storage spaces? If you have tons of stuff lying around, on tables, on kitchen counters, you need to find a professional builder and think of a creative way to organize it.
Art spreads style, but it doesn’t have to be limited to frames or wall hangings. Let go of some things you don’t really love and replace them with shelves or cabinets. I suggest you compensate by opting for bright colors or anything else that might capture interest. In addition to being a space saver, wall storage comes with a concealing door or shelves that will give guests a good view of their chosen items. The shelves can hold your trophies and medals, Star Wars figurines, or Nicholas Sparks books! They can provide a blank canvas where you can show off that exciting side of yourself. For things you don’t want to display, like cords, spare light bulbs, etc., find a professional builder to build wall cabinets.
Pick a focal point
The recreation of the style of your home begins with a particular inspiration that will serve as the central theme of the process. For example, you came across a Victorian-inspired wooden table that you think is incredibly beautiful. This object can be used as an indicator to redecorate your home. Every chair, rug, lamp or any other decorative element and accessory should be in harmony with this Victorian-inspired wooden table. If you’re not financially ready to buy new things, there’s a brilliant alternative: move things!
Give each room a unique personality by giving them different themes. One room could be vintage while the other is flowery and colorful. Your choice! Find a professional builder to install additional shelving, counters or console tables. Also, visit thrift stores and antique stores for fun stuff.
Thrown in Tapestries
Fabric is an extremely versatile decorating tool. With some bold prints and bright colors, it divides spaces, borders beds or hides bare walls. You can also use fabrics to freshen up beaten floors and windows, adding personality to outdated furniture you’re not quite ready to put down just yet. Find a professional builder to help you make small but necessary repairs before you put up the fabrics.
Tapestries can be used to highlight a space, connect one room to another, or become the focal point. If you plan to place multiple tapestries in the same area, make sure their colors and patterns match. Too much divergence can be an eyesore.
divide a large space
Thinking of ways to use a large, uninterrupted space can be challenging. It can be a waste if you used every square foot for the living room when your family is small and not having much fun. Why don’t you separate another room from her? By hanging a curtain, moving shelves and cabinets or a room divider, you can build a division of space into few parts. You can also find a professional builder to put up drywall that will section off a new area that can serve as a reading nook, play area, or storage space for your shoe collection. By doing this, you are getting the most out of every square foot that has to offer.
Replacement of baseboards and crown molding
Another quick way to revive a home is to replace weathered baseboards and crown molding. While this is more labor intensive as you will have to move a lot of things, getting custom baseboards and crown molding can change the curb appeal of your home right away. You can opt for large moldings with slightly intricate details or small moldings that have been coated in your favorite color. Any size, shape or color can transform a mediocre space into a fresh and exciting one. Your choice of baseboards and crown molding can help make up for a room’s lack of furniture and art. Find a professional builder to ensure quality trim and installation.
