Make Your Home More Livable and Comfortable
If you have ever had a fixer-upper, then you know exactly how it feels to not be able to enjoy your home without having to put in some much needed TLC before you are able to fully enjoy living in it. Of course, it shouldn’t have to cost too much to make your home feel livable, but if you feel the need to go the extra mile, we’ve listed a few ideas that can easily make your home feel both livable and comfortable.
Add a Mattress Pillow Top
We all know that a mattress with a pillow top is not cheap to come by, and flipping it is out of the question. However, you would be making a huge investment by just acquiring the pillow top itself and attaching it. Problem solved without the huge cost and they are available in all bed sizes.
Give Your Front Entryway Some Beautification
First impressions are everything in a home so why not start where people will notice the most, your home’s entryway. Your home will be saying a lot when your front door has a fresh coat of paint, more radiant house numbers, or even changing out the light fixtures. Or, you can just replace the door altogether. This will make your home pop out in a flash.
Make Your Kitchen More Spacious
We all know that kitchens can be busy, but what makes it worse is having a small one that feels cramped and uncomfortable. To overcome this you can create a few visual illusions that will have your kitchen feeling more spacious. Great examples of this include adding backsplash tiles that are mirrored, repainting it by using colors that are breezy and light or even having the overhead cupboard doors taken off. Then you can place putty in the holes and paint them. When the visible space is pushed back, your open cupboards will create the open look that you were striving for.
Give Your Furniture Some Personality
Who says that your furniture needs to be matching? Let them have some fun by giving your furniture some personality of their own. When you are shopping around for a sofa, envision the style and how space will look as well as how much space you’ll have left. Investing in more seating as with L-shaped sofas will provide an increased amount of comfort. However, opting for a sofa that is more traditional can provide a classic feel that can be easily built around.
Give Your Bathroom Some Design
Using your bathroom as a test space is a great way to come up with creative ideas. Try using colors that are bold, incorporate art pieces, or add plumbing fixtures that will catch the eye.
For your bathroom mirror, you can easily apply some bordering to its edges so that it has a custom and modern look. This will definitely change the room’s vibe. So basically, when a smaller room is used to try new things, you’ll be able to perfect a design that is uniform with very little work. Plus, if you no longer like the way it looks, you can easily change it again.
Give Your Faucets a Modern Upgrade
A lot of homes still seem to have faucets with an 80s look. However, you can easily change it up by getting rid of the old and bringing in some new. Don’t let this little project intimidate you if you’ve never done it before. You just have to ensure that the water valves are turned off first then begin to replace the faucets. Although the parts for the faucet will cost the most, that will be a small price to pay when you want your home to be comfortable.
Insert a Water-Saver Into Your New Faucets
Since you have the new faucets you can now add a water-saver into the faucet head. You’ll love how the water flows nicer and you experience less splatter every time you run something underneath. You can also include an aerator so that you’ll have efficient water flow.
Spruce Up Your Bedroom
Get rid of the bland effect that your bedroom has by sprucing it up with a freshly painted wall. By creating an accent wall made with a color that is bold, the other walls will easily relax in a tone that is a lot mellower.
