If you own a home, you have probably thought about things that you can improve around the house to make it better. Perhaps you want to upgrade a kitchen that has seen better days. Maybe your children are grown and you want to convert their bedrooms into other usable space. Whatever your reason, improving your living environment not only improves the enjoyment of your home, but it will add value to your house if you choose the right projects. Two popular areas of remodels are kitchens and bathrooms. If you have been thinking about projects in these areas, read this article for some great ideas.
The kitchen is the most popular room in the house. When you think about it, everyone passes through the kitchen at least a few times a day. This is a place not only for food preparation, but for meals and conversation as well. Look at your kitchen to see if you have enough counter space. If not, see if there is space to add a kitchen island. If the kitchen island has a counter top that hangs over the base, it can be used as a place for a quick bite if you put a couple of bar stools under the space.
Look at your kitchen cabinets. Do they give you enough storage space? If you are satisfied with the amount of storage and are fairly content with the cabinet configuration, you may only need to change how the surface looks. Instead of a complete tear-down of the old cabinets, you can opt for a refacing of your cabinet doors and sides. This will only cost you a fraction of a complete cabinet remodel. Basically, the old doors are removed. Cabinet specialists will measure the existing frame and construct cabinet doors and laminates of your choosing based on the measurements. Then they install these parts. This will give you a practically brand new kitchen without the cost of a complete remodel.Take a look at your bathrooms. Chances are, they can use an update as well. If you have old tiled-walls and you are tired of scrubbing the grout that you cannot clean easily, perhaps it is time to replace those walls. Instead of using tiles, consider using a single piece of faux marble for each side of the tub wall. This is much easier to clean and maintain, and you would not have problem with water getting into grout that has cracked. Also, give your bathroom a new coat of paint. Instead of using a neutral beige or off-white, be creative with your colors and choose light shades of your favorite color. Go to your local home improvement center and look at the paint samples for inspiration.
Kitchen and bathroom improvements give you the best return on your home improvement dollars because these rooms are important to everyone. Spend some time to get ideas to give you the look that you want. By just improving these two areas, you will increase the enjoyment of your home immensely.
