Hello World! Welcome Friends! Home renovation and décor trends come and go as frequently as the seasons, but when you are looking to spend a decent chunk of money renovating your house you want to make sure that your investment is not going to be lost on an of the moment design decision. Getting swept up in the latest and greatest is common though so if you are someone who has shiny ball syndrome try and resist the urge to act on impulse here. Before you jump headfirst into a remodel, take the time to consider each element of the bigger picture separately. You may come to find that you can achieve a trendy feel with accent pieces and semi-temporary things like paint, while keeping the bigger parts of the project timeless, below are three examples of ways to achieve this goal.
Hardwood Floors
Your home’s flooring is one of the biggest surfaces of your entire living space. Even the smallest of homes have a large square footage taken up by flooring, so if you are looking to switch yours up, consider hardwood floors that are both timeless, and durable. One of the best things about investing in hardwoods, is that virtually any wall décor, window treatment, or furniture will complement their simplistic elegance.
But they will not come cheap. Depending on the exact materials you pick and the surface area you are remodeling, hardwood floor installation can run you thousands, if not tens of thousands of dollars. If paying for this project out of pocket is not an option but you are hesitant to take out a personal loan or credit card to foot the bill investigate the existing equity in your home to cover the cost. You can utilize a resource that explains everything there is to know about taking out a home equity loan. Most importantly though, this type of loan pays upfront in a lump sum which is desirable for a home remodel bill that you will owe your contractor in one foul swoop.
Sustainable Upgrades
Eco-friendly living has become popular in recent times, but it is far from a trend. This style of living is here to stay with a priority on our planet being at the top of mind for many homeowners. If you are looking to remodel your home in any way, ask about eco-friendly options along the way so that you can modernize your home, make it more efficient, and reduce your personal carbon footprint. On the contrary if you do not have a specific remodel project in mind but just know that you desire a more sustainable home browse a list of ideas for projects of all sizes and see what makes sense for your current desires.
Gourmet Kitchens
Even people who do not know how to work a microwave desire a gourmet chefs’ kitchen in their home. Why? Because even if they do not cook themselves, the kitchen is considered the heart of the home, and for family time, or entertaining, or simply resale value, investing in an upgraded kitchen remodel has a high ROI. Be careful here to make design choices that are both beautiful and functional, while keeping in mind your goal of timelessness. Kitchen remodels are costly so think about what you do in your kitchen most and how you need it to work for you before just selecting pretty things.
