A home is a lifetime investment and a culmination of one’s hard work. Continually upgrading your space turns it into a haven for you and your loved ones. Spicing up your home increases its value when you sell it, improves appeal, and enhances longevity. Here are ways for you to spice up your home.
1. Invest in outdoor landscaping
Consumers value a landscaped home more than the same home without landscaping. Your outdoor areas can impact curb appeal, as they’re the first thing people see when they visit your home. If you want to add a patio to your home, hire an experienced landscape designer like Malone’s Landscape to create a design that makes your home stand out.
2. Consider repainting your entire home
Paint gives a fresh and new look to a space. Depending on your home theme and style, choose colors that resonate with each other to enhance your living room’s appeal. Paint the bedrooms based on each person’s likes. You may choose to go bold or subtle with your color schemes for the living room and the kitchen.
3. Change your roofing
Whether or not your roof needs replacement will depend on factors such as its age, and overall condition. If you’re looking to replace your roof to improve your home’s curb appeal, asphalt shingles are relatively inexpensive, easy to install, and have a layered look that comes in multiple colors. If you plan to install a solar panel in the future, confirm that the solar installation won’t damage the shingles. Metal, slate, and tile roofing options are costly and challenging to install.
4. Let in more natural light
The more light you let into your home, the bigger your rooms will appear, making them look and feel stylish. Painting your eaves white and using lighter and brighter paints for your ceiling and walls brings more natural light into your home. Additionally, installing large windows and doors and regularly cleaning them will let in more light, improving your interior appeal and reducing energy costs.
5. Declutter, rearrange, and use rugs in your living room
A cluttered living room can be stifling and unappealing. Consider getting rid of furniture you no longer need to create more space, then rearrange the room to give it a new look. Get a coffee table or two and a vase with fresh flowers to spruce up your living room. In addition, strategically placing your rugs at different house positions gives a cozy look to your home.
6. Invest in smart home technology
Smart home technology increases your home value and makes it stylish, and you can control and monitor your energy usage from your phone. It also improves security by sending notifications to the homeowner in case it detects movements. Additionally, you can set the lights to go on and off as and when needed.
