Hello World! Welcome Friends! Are you looking to spruce up the look in your small home? Well, a few improvements can help tailor the home to your taste. Additionally, it ensures that you use every bit of square footage much more efficiently, particularly if you are struggling for space.
Perhaps you are looking to add to the value of the house in the market. Appliance repair and upgrading outdated appliances will make it easier to find the right buyer at a good price.
This article covers some of the home improvement tips for small houses you can try out.
Consider a Floor Remodel
Your floor is likely to be among the first areas of your house to bear the brunt of wear and tear. Of course, our floors tend to receive a lot of traffic with people walking over them all day. This is where floor remodeling can significantly transform a house. For starters, the feel of your feet on new floors will be as good as the feel of a new house. You can consider installing hardwood floors in the house. Now, hardwood floors may cost a bit more but you are bound to get bang for your buck; aesthetically and financially. For example, good hardwood flooring is more likely to last for decades.
Just remember that wood is sensitive to moisture so avoid using it in areas like bathrooms that are prone to get wet. Another bonus is that hardwood floors are relatively easier to clean. Quite often, you just need a quick sweep to get rid of all the dirt and dust. A floor remodeling may be the facelift that your house needs to get all cozy again.
Play Around With Art
With a tiny house, you want to make use of every bit of space. The problem is there are only so many things that you can fit into your living area. What better way to do this than to use art pieces? Yes, adorn your walls with art that reflects your personality and makes your tiny house homier.
Art can also give the illusion of a bigger space. One simple trick you can use is placing small prints and photographs in frames with large borders to exaggerate their size. This will ensure your wall art does not look cluttered. You can add character to your house by placing bold art pieces in unexpected places like the bathroom or your bookshelf.
Re-Roofing
Re-roofing is another way to change the face and value of your home on a budget. It is an excellent option if you have a roof that is approaching the end of its lifespan. You want to get back that sturdy roof that will regain the face value of your home and reduce unnecessary expenses in maintenance in the future. Well, re-roofing is a technical project and you will need to contract professional roofing services to help. They can help determine if reroofing is the best option to give your house the much-needed cosmetic facelift. It can be a much more affordable option than going for a new roof!
Light It Up
You will likely agree that there is that feeling of ease whenever you are in a well-lit room. Now, try entering the same room but this time around, with insufficient lighting. You will undoubtedly feel stressed. It is a proven scientific fact that lighting affects your mood even well-being. This is why proper lighting in a house cannot be ignored.
For someone with a small house, good lighting could just be the remaining piece in the puzzle of giving your house a feeling of upscale luxury. The beauty is that there are many easy ways to light up your house:
- You can aim your light sources at your walls and the ceiling
- Decorate your house using some fairy light strings or other options like orb lights, candles, etc.
- Go for bright colored rugs
- Paint your walls white!
- Clean your windows
- Go slow on your wall artwork
Accessorize With Mirrors
Again, the magic of mirrors should never be underestimated. Mirrors reflect the light falling on them, therefore, making the room brighter. Adding a mirror to any room will instantly make it more appealing. For someone with a small house, mirrors come to the rescue by giving the illusion of more space. They will reflect the space of the room and make it seem like you have more space than you paid for.
Do you have a gorgeous vase or painting that you want to draw attention to? Take advantage of a mirror’s reflection! With mirrors, never shy off when it comes to size. You can never have a mirror that is too big. Another way to incorporate mirrors in your home is to use mirrored furniture. These are beautiful statement pieces that will get your house from drab to fab. However, don’t be too excited and go crazy with the mirrored furniture lest your room ends up looking garish.
Reupholster
Reupholstering your furniture is another cost-effective way to change things around your house. Rather than throw away the furniture you do not need, try switching it up a little. You may have some expensive furniture in your house that you can’t bring yourself to get rid of or pieces that may have a certain sentimental value associated with them. The pieces may not fit into your new personal style, but guess what? You have the option to preserve them in other forms that will fit your space better. Renewing an old piece is an affordable and easy solution to improve your home. It helps that you will be preserving the environment in the process.
It also helps to reduce waste materials that would have otherwise been thrown out. Also, it conserves the resources and energy that would have been used in getting new furniture.
Wrap Up
It is good to want to refresh your house every now and then to get a new inspiring look. You can also upscale your house if you are looking to sell. The trick is to be creative in what you do. We hope the tips we have covered will help you improve the look and feel of your small house.

Toodles,
Tiles, particularly stone tiles, tend to feel cooler than carpet and laminate. In hot climates, tiles are a particularly attractive choice because of their ability to maintain cooler temperatures in the home.
