Bathroom Renovations – Things To Consider
Looking to renovate your bathroom? Consider the following:
- Does your bathroom feel a bit smaller than you’d like? You’ll want to give it a spacious appearance by painting the space with light color and make use of light colored tiles. For a tighter budget, work with the space you have, there’s no need to change the floor plan.
- Use cabinets in the bathroom sparingly. Try not to clutter the space by installing too many cabinets and drawers. It’s true that cabinets have a utilitarian value and everyone loves ample storage space, however, too many cabinets can make your bathroom feel small and cramped.
- Not replacing your tile? Make sure to at least replace any broken tile or loose grout.
- When updating your vanity, try and stick to matching fixtures to avoid an “out-of-place.”
- A well lit bathroom with proper lighting fixtures can make all the difference. Try and use natural lighting whenever possible.
Kitchen Renovations – Things To Consider
Just like the bathroom, a well decorated and renovated kitchen can greatly impact the value of your home. Taking on a kitchen renovation? Consider the following:
- Your kitchen countertop says a lot about the space. Think about the style of your home. Going for a modern and clean look? Try a quartz countertop. Consider yourself a home chef? Go with a unique wood counter top that you can chop on (a personal favorite).
- Consider going with a larger and deeper sink. Functionally speaking, it does wonders.
- Think about updating your appliances with a matching set and go green with energy-efficient kitchen appliances to save on your energy bill.
- On a tighter budget? Consider improving upon your existing cabinets rather than buying new ones. Sometimes a fresh coat of paint or updated pulls is all you need.
