Home Improvement Ideas
Looking for home improvement ideas?
You may be looking for many or just one way to spruce up your home. Whether you are looking to refurbish and decorate an individual room or your entire home there are many ideas you can explore. Here is a list of 16 home improvement ideas that can get you started:
1 Kitchen Upgrade
If an entire new kitchen installation is out of your budget, your next option can be to change doors and fixtures to spruce it up and give it a new lease of life. In addition think of re grouting and cleaning your tiles. Other ideas in a kitchen would be to add a splash back to avoid future staining. Above all be bold and choose a bright color to shake things up.
2 Bathroom Makeover
Most of the time bathrooms suffer looking bad due to mold and residue build up in corners and along the edges. Caulk all of your surfaces in your bathrooms and kitchen, but remember to remove the previous caulk.
3 Bespoke Storage
Utilise nooks and crannies in your home with bespoke storage solutions. Whether this is under your stairs, in a weird corner of the home where some boxes sit or even in your garage, try to create a space which fits things well and looks good too. Plus your home looks more tidy, bonus!
4 Flooring and Carpets
Change the floor in your home. Firstly it can really freshen up the room. Secondly it also gives you an opportunity to redesign and de-clutter your room. A blank canvas is a great thing. If changing the entire floor is not an option think about placing rugs around the home to compliment the furniture or even have the floorboards sealed and stained for a classic look.
5 Protect Walls and Tiles
Add an easy to clean kitchen splash back on walls to protect from water and other liquids. This will help you to keep commonly used spaces clean. Get a funky colour to add character and a bit of panache.
6 Cool Feature
With the hot weather being more common in the UK, think of adding ceiling fans to ease the heat. Plus this will also add a new feature to your room.
7 Smart Home Technology
8 Lighting
The last tip from our home improvement ideas list is to use lighting well. If you want to undertake a few home improvements such as a new bathroom, you need to show it off. You can do this by adding lighting to compliment your new room and its features. By knowing where to place this lighting and what types of bulbs to use is important. Look at what you would like to emphasize and how the room is structured.
10 Garden Decking
If you already have decking then revive it by letting us refurbish it. If not, add a little decking area to create an outdoor oasis. We can do that too!
11 Revive woodwork
As home improvement ideas go, we love this one, it makes a difference. Refinish the woodwork in your home including doors, skirting boards and any other features you may have. If need be get them replaced and treated and painted well for long lasting results.
12 Entrance Lighting
Add or rewire an entrance light to your home which is more pleasing to the eye and adds character. Although the light bulbs you use will also determine the ambiance of the entrance. Have a professional electrician carry out the job and make sure you have switches placed at a convenient location in your home. A warm welcome to your home is wonderful to have.
13 Flowers and Features
Add more flowers and features to the front and rear gardens. This will result in making the space more inviting and add character to the property. Think about the maintenance of the plants and flowers and take on what you can maintain. There is nothing more horrible than overgrown dead plants. Maybe also add a wooden bench and a little table to create a private space outdoors.
