Hello World! Welcome Friends! The global housing market is turbulent right now, but this instability is benefiting the home improvement market greatly. The latest reports show that in the US alone, spending on home improvements reached a total available market value of $595 billion before 2021 has even ended. Since homeowners are holding onto their houses, they have become much more determined to improve their homes as much as they can. If you want to make your own home improvements but don’t want to get bogged down with big projects, you’re in luck. You can definitely upgrade your home by adding one item at a time just as effectively as if you poured a lot of resources into refreshing and updating entire rooms.
Give Your Stairs Some Extra Grip With Stair Runners
This is one of the simplest DIY improvements you can do. Modern stair designs can look attractive, but the main pitfall of such sleek aesthetics is the fact that they can be annoyingly slippery. But all it takes to solve this problem is to add one or two stair runners, depending on the height and width of your staircase. Each one only costs around $120, compared to rates of over $2000 you get from carpeting contractors. You can even have one custom-made if you want your stair runner to blend well with your decoration scheme.
Optimize Your House’s Space Usage
If you’re like most homeowners, chances are you aren’t making optimal use of your interior space. That’s not too much of a problem if you don’t have a lot of stuff in the house. But if you do, you’re guaranteed to experience some clutter, and if you’re a parent, you’re all too familiar with clutter and how it can spread throughout your home. American consumers buy 40 percent of the world’s toys, which is why most homes in the US are littered with all sorts of playthings. Keeping them organized is a must, so if you have some skill in woodwork, affix some shelves to the wall to contain your kids’ toys.
You can even turn empty space into statement areas which can both store your loose items and serve as an attractive display at the same time. This doesn’t just apply to shelves, either. Putting up shelves is only one of the many ways you can maximize the space efficiency and functionality of your house. You can also install racks, floating drawers, baskets, and just about any other attractive storage solution you can imagine.
Style Your Entryway With a Lantern
First impressions mean a lot, and that applies to homes as much as it does to people. If you dress to impress and want your home to do the same, then you absolutely must spruce up the design of your entryway. Even simple changes here and there could give it just what it needs to be as inviting and cozy as possible. A favorite among DIY home improvers is the hanging lantern. Depending on your home’s overall aesthetic, a vintage cage lantern, wicker basket lantern, or modern cone pendant lamp would be safe bets.
Small improvements like these can really make a difference if you do them right. These minor upgrades can eventually compound, and before you know it, you’ll have refreshed entire rooms just by improving them one bit at a time.
