5 Pro Tips To Make Your Home Feel Like New

By Nathan Young on April 4, 2022

Many of us do it. We dream about home improvement projects that can spruce up our house and property and allow it to look and feel brand new. You don’t have to be a millionaire to upgrade your home. You can choose a few projects that instantly modernize your place and increase your home’s value.

Our home improvement experts are sharing their favorite professional tips for making your space feel like new.

1. Furniture Minimization

Sometimes, less is more when it comes to transforming your home’s interior. Designers believe that clutter and overcrowded furniture pieces can make a place appear overwhelming.

Choose your home decor wisely, and begin to declutter in every room. If you don’t need it, never use it, then, sell it or donate it.

Minimalism looks rich and modern, and when your interior is designed that way, it can offer tranquility away from a chaotic world.

Even celebrities like Kim Kardashian enjoy living in a minimalist mansion in Calabasas with her four young children.

 

2. Curb Appeal

Of course, your home’s exterior is where initial impressions are made, and again, there are several projects to consider. Maybe it’s time for vinyl siding. It’s durable, low-maintenance, and can be applied over existing masonry or wood siding.

Don’t forget to look a little higher. There is nothing worse than a leaky roof or one with damaged shingles. Your roof is important and not only for its attractive curb appeal. A sound roof is also key for your property’s resale value, and you have a variety of options in materials when choosing a roof replacement.

For example, this Richmond Roofing Company has experts who can drop by your home and assess the condition of your roof for free and recommend what steps you can take.

 

3. Crown Molding

If your walls lack a certain something, a simple home improvement of crown molding can add newness and textural interest to your rooms. In fact, this awesome trim will add character to your home’s interior and highlight the transition between your walls and your ceiling.

Crown molding comes in tons of styles and elevates a space by drawing the eye upward. In other words, crown molding brings polish to any room no matter what style you have in decor.

If you have a plain-looking fireplace, you can also add crown molding to create a beautiful finish to the top of the mantel.

 

4. Hardware Upgrade

Here’s another way to add a modern upgrade to your home’s interior, and it’s not that difficult to do. Consider switching up the hardware. That’s right.

For instance, take an inspection of your kitchen’s knobs and drawer pulls. Look in the bathroom at the faucet, too. A simple, hardware upgrade can make a major transformation to these rooms.

Look in decorating magazines for new trends in hardware. Here are some of the latest styles for 2022: matte black finishes; satin black finishes; latches instead of knobs; mixing and matching knobs and pulls and square bar pulls instead of tubular.

 

5. Tree Planting

Let’s face it. Trees are lovely for any landscape and add so much to a property. An aging or mature tree can be an eyesore and a danger to one’s home, however, so you want to make sure that your tree is in good condition. If not, then it’s time to have it removed.

New trees boost curb appeal and provide longevity to a space. Many properties sell quicker when there are trees added to a home’s landscaping. Trees are something human beings can connect to.

Before you go out and purchase any old tree, think about your property. Do you need a shade tree? Would you enjoy a tree that bears fruit? Do you want a fast-growing tree or one that takes time to mature?

Trees are excellent for the environment. One of their unique roles is getting rid of carbon dioxide in the air.

 

Wrapping Up

Home improvement and repairs are big news these days, and folks are aware of the ongoing strength of home sales, house price appreciation, and construction activity of new residences. Our home improvement experts believe that their five tips can help any home feel brand new.
