Hello World! Welcome Friends! Regardless if you are selling your home or you are just bored with your home, there are lots of ways that you can improve it and give it a general overhaul.
Many people believe that making upgrades to your home will only cost you more, well they are wrong. A recent report from the National Association of Realtors proved that staging your home will help it sell faster and for a higher price. So, the money you invest in staging is less than the increased price of the home. If you are in the market for selling your home, head over to Upnest to find, compare and choose a real estate agent to help you sell your home.
Overhauling your home doesn’t always mean that you are selling it, sometimes people are just bored with how their home looks and want to update it. This is a better step than moving to a new home mostly because you avoid the hassle with selling, buying and moving.
The question is: what are the best trends to freshen up your home in 2019?
Color
Most people fail to see the importance of color in their home. The white-colored walls might give your home a clean look, but it gets boring very fast. If you want to play with the colors try to mix and match with the furniture you have – brown furniture goes well with two-tone green walls. When repainting, try to avoid dark colors like gray and go with warmer colors like green, champagne, peach, etc.
Painting can be expensive and not many people can afford it. An alternative to that is wallpapers. The good thing about them is that they are less expensive than repainting and you can get them in various designs.
Smart Home Devices
“Hey Google, dim the lights” or “Alexa, turn on the water heater” is not something that you might see in a movie. As technology progresses, so does the advantages that it offers – in this case, home improvements. The good thing about this is that the price ranges from less than $100 to over $100,000, depending on what you want.
You can have most of your electrical appliances and lights linked to a device that can be voice-controlled and can be a convenience if you are lazy to get up and turn off the light or just want to show off in front of your friends.
In addition to this, most smart home devices can be equipped with a surveillance and alarm system which is good for security.
Minor Touches
The quote “It’s the little things in life that matter the most” applies perfectly for this section. Adding some small decor details can liven up your home more than you can think of. Replace the old and boring lamp next to your sofa, replace your light bulbs with retro Edison style ones, hanging flower pots or bookshelves on the walls and so much more. For this, there is no limit, keep going until you feel satisfied.
Conclusion
Contrary to popular belief, home improvements don’t necessarily mean that you have to sell your kidney to do it. Going for the tips in this guide means that you can update your surroundings even if you are on a tight budget. The upside is that with that it will stand out from the crowd, regardless if you’re selling it or making it cozier for you.
