Winter can feel like the longest, dreariest season of all. For many people, it isn’t exactly a season they look forward to and now, with it just a couple of months away, the dread may be starting to settle in. However, rather than see winter as a negative, why not use this time to focus on interior home improvement projects? With proper planning and hard work, you’ll be able to create the kind of home that is comfortable, trendy and meets your needs.
Wondering which home renovation projects you should tackle? Here are four that are perfect to work on during the winter months.
Design The Kitchen Of Your Dreams
When homeowners are asked to name their most-used room in the house, the kitchen is often top of the list. And with that said, it makes sense for you to want a room that is comfortable, stylish and functional. If your current kitchen design fails to check off any of those boxes, it’s time for a remodel. Unlike in other rooms of the house, however, there is plenty you need to consider and be aware of so that the space works and flows properly.
Kitchen remodels can be labour-intensive, expensive and confusing when doing it yourself. Hiring a professional that can work with you on the design, choosing the right materials and then taking care of all the work will be a huge stress lifted from your shoulders. Look for kitchen companies St Albans or any other area of the UK that has the right experience, references and pictures of their work and whose vision matches up with yours.
Change Up The Colour Palette In The Home
Maybe you want a smaller project — something that fits with a tight budget and something you can do yourself. If that’s the case, painting the interior walls a new colour will completely transform the home and is a relatively straightforward task.
Several colours are trending right now, one of which may complement your existing décor and furniture beautifully. Some of the colours to consider include:
- Periwinkle
- Pale yellow
- Bright green
- Silver-green
- Blue with grey undertones
- Peach
Update, Improve And Expand Storage Solutions
If your home constantly feels cluttered and as though you never have enough storage space, this can be another perfect winter project. Updating, improving and expanding the storage solutions in your home means you can do a massive declutter and make everything feel fresh and clean. But rather than traditional storage solutions, look for multi-functional items that add to the design and décor of the room and look unique.
Modernise The Light Fixtures
Another DIY project is to replace all the light fixtures in the common spaces of the home. Look for fixtures that look more modern and work with the existing design concept. Don’t be afraid to also step outside the box and choose statement fixtures.
Whether you want to make a big impact or just a small change, all of these renovation projects will deliver results. It comes down to budget, your time available and whether or not you want to do the work yourself.
