The most important rooms to overhaul in your home
Having a refurb in your own home should be approached tactically. We don’t always have the budget for a full-scale redesign, which means selecting the rooms that will have the biggest effect on the overall appearance is of utmost importance. This is particularly pertinent if you are planning to sell your home in the near future. With this in mind, here are a few considerations for a major refurb.
Kitchen
Unless you live off of microwave meals and takeout, most families spend a considerable amount of time in their kitchen. It’s the place to get together with old family friends, cook dinners and have a cup of coffee in the mornings. Therefore, if you do have the budget, a new kitchen installation could be the best use of your budget. Opting for a bespoke kitchen-fitting service, such as those by nonpareilsolutions.co.uk, will help you to maximise the use of your budget.
Similarly, if you would like to make the most of the space you have in your property, a kitchen-diner could be a clever thing to create. This will make hosting and dining easier if you have a large family to cater to. You could refurbish this space as a whole, which will give you a two-in-one effect. Or, you could even look at the potential to extend your property and open out the dining room and kitchen.
Bedroom
Don’t neglect your bedroom if you never look forward to heading up to bed after a long working day. There’s nothing wrong with a bit of self-indulgence when it comes to home renovation. For example, you could install an extra-cosy king-sized bed and replace both your mattress and bedding for something a little fancier. Keep an eye on major seasonal sales like the famous Memorial Day mattress sale during which you can purchase all these things at very reasonable prices. On top of that, you could even look into installing a bespoke wardrobe, giving you extra space to store your clothing and personal belongings.
Living Room
For many families and singletons, the living room is where evenings are spent crashing after a long day at work or relaxing on a long weekend. Therefore, you want to ensure that your living room is extra comfortable and appealing for that all-important downtime. Perhaps consider investing in a new sofa, or layering textures and furniture by adding new curtains and maybe even a new coffee table.
The Loft
If you’re selling your home, a loft conversion could add real value. Even if you don’t plan to sell your house on in the future, it’s a great way to add space and room to small and large houses alike. If you were looking to add an extra bedroom for a growing family, or maybe even a little artist’s studio, this part of the house holds real financial and space potential.
The rooms that will need the most renovation are often the most neglected — or the most used. The places we spend the most time in will experience far more wear and tear, and as such need more attention later in life.
