Small Home Renovation Ideas That Make a Big Difference
2022 will be the year of renovations. As the supply chain continues to affect new-construction homes, many people are deciding to renovate instead of buying up.
Whether you want to add a sunroom to the back of your house, redo the kitchen to make it more functional, or expand and repaint your living room to give it new energy, there are hundreds of ways you can improve your current residence. Here are just a few of the home renovation ideas that will be popular moving into the new year.
A coat of new paint on the outside can make a huge difference in improving your home’s curb appeal. While many HOAs are restrictive in what you can do, others are pretty hands-off. Most will readily approve earth tones with accent shades for shutters and doors. Repainting your home also gives you the opportunity to repair or replace siding. Hardie® Plank siding has become more and more popular over the years because it looks like wood but it’s made of a composite material that’s both attractive and strong. Plus, you can install it in your colors or in a paint-ready option to apply your own blend.
Bathing trends are showing that most people are taking showers more than baths. Showers use less water, are faster, and prevent you from wallowing in your own bathwater. If you have an old tub that is showing its age, replace it with a shower area that can fit in the same space. Today’s new showerheads have dual massagers or heads that spout water so that it falls like rain. Plus, you can have seating installed to make your shower more relaxing.
Kitchens in many new homes automatically come with an island with stools and tons of extra storage underneath. This is almost a necessity when you expand your kitchen and eliminate the walls in the breakfast and or formal dining area. Adding dining space to your island in the kitchen simply makes sense and allows you to socialize while preparing meals.
Adding new lighting to your bedroom can completely change its character and mood. Many of today’s LED recessed lights come with switches that allow you to change the tone of the light from warm glow to daylight. This option keeps you from having to change the bulbs out if you want to adjust the lighting in the room. Simply pull down the fixture and adjust the hue and put it back.
Replacing the flooring in your kitchen can be an easy decision if your floors are more than 20 years old. Since the early 2000s, flooring has come a long way from new composite materials that look like wood but are really ceramic tile that comes in thousands of colors, designs, and textures. Whatever you decide, make sure the material is “no slip” and durable because the kitchen floor can take a beating with food spillage and water dripping.
