Your home is one
of the biggest investments that you will make in your life. Its value, décor,
and style is obviously important to you as it is also your sanctuary
and place of comfort. Often, we get bored with the original designs of our
home, and we wish for something new. Renovating your home can become an
exciting project that will add value to your investment, while also providing you
with an extra incentive to put in overtime hours at work. In this article, you
will learn nine ways to customize your home, without breaking the bank.
1. Paint your door- this
is a great way to add style and class to your home. Your front door is the gateway
to your castle, so make it something that establishes your uniqueness in the
neighborhood. Very often, we see the traditional brown or white doors. Why not
try red, blue or yellow for additional flair?
2. Change your Kitchen Cabinets- your cabinets are a big selling point when purchasing a home.
Install customized cabinets that will match the new theme and energy. While
you’re at it, make sure to contrast your new cabinets with a complementary
backsplash.
3. Change up the light fixtures- your lights are a great way to add a unique touch to your house.
Go to your local home improvement show, and take a look at how you can add
different lighting features in your home. The brighter, the better!
4. Add Shutters to your windows- try contrasting the shutters on your windows to match your bright
new door. Shutters are a great way to add an additional welcoming feel to your
home.
5. Paint the Walls- with a
few well-placed walls of paint, the inside of your home can transform into
something wonderful. Rather than paint all four walls the same color, try painting only one! The unique color will
create contrast within your house.
6. Add a rug area-
purchase an extravagant rug for your living room to add a touch of flair, but
make sure that it matches the décor of your home.
7. Match your Furniture-
once you have your new rug, try to buy at least one piece of furniture that
stands out from the rest. Place it near your window or fireplace for added
effect.
8. Hang Artwork- nothing
screams “personalized home” more than a unique piece of artwork. Hang it over
your fireplace or place it in the entryway, so it’s the first thing you notice
once you walk through your brand-new door.
9. Decorate your Stairs –
this is a wonderful tip that is rarely used: try painting your staircase with
contrasting colors on alternating steps. Doing so is sure to add a unique style
to your home.
Bonus Tip: Customizing
your garage can also add tons of style and value to your home.
Installing some basic cabinets, painting the floor, and adding some rugs are
quick and easy jobs.
Your residence is meant to match your style and personality. Use
these nine tips to make your home stand out from the crowd. These creative
strategies will go a long way to relieve stress, while also contributing to the
increased value of your greatest investment.
There you go. Any suggestions, would love to hear from you too.
