DIY – 7 Simple Home Renovation Ideas

As a homeowner, it may become necessary at some point to renovate or remodel your home. Some people become bored with their home and feel a new styling or structuring would do some good, while others may experience a change in taste and preference, necessitating a partial or entire renovation.

 

If you are looking to renovate your home to repair broken or damaged structures, to make it more aesthetically appealing, or to align it with modern housing designs, here are some smart remodeling suggestions you may want to jump on.

1.Utilize The Space Under the Stairs

If your house has a staircase, you might be tempted to ignore the large area under the staircase. Placing something of value there gives the area more visibility and appeal.

 

You could put some shelves displaying your books, award plaques, or music collections. You could also design the area to act as a reading space. Another option is to turn the space into a customized wine rack, displaying your grand collection of wine.

 

2. Add A Kitchen Island

The essence of a kitchen island is to provide you with additional counter space, storage area, and more seating options. If you already have a kitchen island, you may want to consider upgrading it.

 

Depending on the size of your kitchen and what strikes your fancy, designing your kitchen to double as a minibar is also a great suggestion. You could add properly shelved racks just above the counter for storing drinking glasses and keep your alcohol in the storage space below. Our property for sale in Kenya has several modern amenities including a kitchen island.

3. Optimize Your Designs To Create More Space

Creating more usable space out of your existing furniture is a smart trick you need to master to perfect your home renovation plans. So, how do you do this? By optimizing your designs.

 

For instance, instead of putting a regular built-in cabinet, you could add to your home’s authenticity by building pull-out cabinets. Pull-out cabinets help you create extra countertop and storage space. Also, if you have a deck, why not consider putting a bar rail on it? This can serve as a cool spot for outdoor eating.

If you will be renovating your home on a budget, optimizing your designs could prove especially helpful since you are adding to spaces and structures you already own, rather than building from scratch.

 

 

4. Pay Attention To Your Exterior

It is easy to concentrate your remodeling efforts on the interior of your home and give very little attention to the outside. However, focusing on your home’s exterior is crucial to enabling a generally pleasant and welcoming outlook.

 

Does your home have a garden? Why not consider adding one? What about giving your mailbox a new look, adding shutters and window boxes to your window space, or painting the walls with more inviting colors? Talking about colors…

 

5. Be Wary Of Your Colour Choice

Your choice of painting is crucial to determining how elegant your renovation would turn out. There are hundreds of paint colors, and thousands of color combinations, so ensure to choose a palette that matches your vibe and preferred aesthetic.

 

6. Experiment With Lighting

Lighting is also another nice way to create appeal and draw attention. Adding lighting fixtures such as low-hanging pendant lights or spotlights can help you create an intriguing focus on a part of the room. Ensure you use materials with a high impact to get the perfect visual effect.

 

7. Experiment With Shapes

The central idea of remodeling is to improve on existing structural styles and patterns. One way to do this is by customizing your furniture shapes.

 

Replace traditional rectangular furniture with a more personalized choice. Swap common rectangular couches for a roomy L-shape couch. You could also try curved countertops to increase space and enable easy traffic.
