Do you have a long list of dreamy elements you want in your space? It might be time for some renovations. Whether you’re looking to increase the property value of your home ahead of a sale or closing on a house, there might be a renovation or remodeling project in your future. Here are some ideas to help you find inspiration for your first home renovation:
Maximize Your Existing Space
If you feel as though your home is crowded or you have young children, an open floor plan might be the perfect solution for your family. Are there walls dividing the rooms at the back of your house that be removed to create that coveted kitchen-great room? If you decide to extend your kitchen and great room, make sure the existing house flows into the extension so that your space, storage, and style needs are met.
Boost the Natural Light
If light is your main concern, a sunroom or screened in porch extension is an option for creating a space with ample light. However, an extension like this may reduce light in your existing spaces. Another option for boosting natural light is installing large windows, which transforms light levels in any room. If a sunroom or large windows aren’t in your design plan, consider installing ceiling lights that simulate outdoor lighting to create the ambience you want in your dream home.
Transform Your Bathroom
Renovating your bathroom is one of the best important investments you can make. Transforming your bathroom is a fresh way to invite daily joys into your life, nothing will lift your spirit like starting and ending your days in a room you love. From large, show-stopping bathtubs, walk-in showers with seating, and sleek vanity units, your bathroom should be curated to your wants.
