                                                  Where to Start in Making Home Changes

There is no short of home improvement projects that homeowners can choose from to give their homes a facelift. The number of possibilities can often feel overwhelming though. With so many options and choices, it is not always easy to know where to start; however, when you choose the right project for your property, this can result in a massive improvement. If you want this to be the year that you update and upgrade your home, here are a few places where you can start.

Backyard 

The days of settling for a backyard full of underutilized space are long gone. Most homeowners don’t want areas of their home that lack purpose or function. If you want to make your home more enjoyable, consider upgrading your backyard. Checking out your pool loan options to build the pool you have always wanted, installing a picture-perfect pergola or stringing up café lights to incorporate some ambiance can turn your home’s backyard from boring to brilliant.

Curb Appeal

As you consider your home improvement project options, prioritizing options that will have a return on investment is key. One wonderful option that is worth considering is upgrading your curb appeal. Turning your bland exterior into something beautiful can increase your home’s value and its visual appeal. If your exterior is looking more shabby than stunning, it may be time for an upgrade.

Kitchen

Rooms that see the highest level of traffic will require a good bit of your attention. This includes your kitchen. If you want your home to be better, brighter and valued higher, you need to consider giving your kitchen some much-needed attention. Whether you are ridding yourself of an outdated color palette, adding the perfect pantry or gutting it completely, you need to give your kitchen some love. In the room where you cook up delicious recipes and marvelous memories, you need something suitable for all your future adventures.

Bathroom

A commonly trafficked room that often does not get enough attention during renovations is the bathroom. While often one of the smaller spaces within your home, this is a room used often by residents and guests alike. You deserve a space that will meet your needs and offer a spa-like experience that will soothe your soul. Out with the out-of-style vanities and ugly fixtures and in with impressive bathroom inspiration. Don’t settle for ordinary bathrooms when a few updates can make your bathroom truly extraordinary.

Basement

Whether your basement has become a dumping ground for unwanted belongings or just a vast, underutilized space, this is your moment to transform it. Don’t let this underutilized room go another day with unfulfilled potential. Whether you have always dreamt of a home office, a full gym or a completely separate living space for guests, this is your chance to breathe new life into your basement.

Laundry

Laundry room upgrades are garnering a lot of attention these days. You will want a result that maximizes utility and enhances the visual appeal of your home. If your laundry room lacks form and function, take this as your year to start your laundry off right. Create a functional space that optimizes organization and offers a visually appealing setup in the process. Don’t let piles of unsightly laundry get in the way of you achieving your dreams of having a beautiful home.

Storage

The one thing that most homeowners have too little of is storage space. With too many things and not enough storage solutions, you end up having messes and clutter abound. If you want this to be the year that you start your clutter-free journey, you need to install storage solutions. Whether you build another closet or pantry, swap out your traditional furniture for multipurpose options with storage or install full organizational systems, the most important step is adding more storage. You will be pleasantly surprised by the amount of space you have and the beauty of it once you spend a bit of time getting organized.

With another new chapter, this is your chance to create the home you have always dreamt of. Give yourself the dream space that you desire by transforming your home with these home improvement ideas.
