If you’re in search of a project to commit to over the summer, then renovation makes a great deal of sense. Pick the right home improvement, and you might add considerably to the value of the property, and provide yourself with a substantial quality-of-life improvement at the same time.
You don’t even need to bring in tradespeople, especially if your project is small in scope. Invest a little in quality tools from a reputable brand, like Milwaukee power tools, and your DIY exploits are sure to be successful.
So, exactly which sorts of renovation should we be considering?
Extensions
Extra space for living, dining and cooking can often be easily obtained by extending from the rear of your property. In many cases, you won’t even need to obtain planning permission (though it’s always best to be sure).
Conservatories tend to be popular extensions, as they provide plenty of utility for a modest investment. Look for something with a roof, so that you can control the temperature more easily. There’s little point in building a new living room if it’s difficult to heat in the winter, and turns into a greenhouse in the summer.
Upgrade your flooring
When most of us consider renovation, we think of the walls. They can, after all, have a considerable impact on the overall look of the room. But the same is also true of your flooring – with the difference that your feet will actually be in contact with the floor for much of your time at home. Going for quality stone tiles and underfloor heating in bathrooms and kitchens can add a touch of luxury that’s difficult to obtain elsewhere.
Loft conversion
Using a loft for storage can help to free up acres of space elsewhere in the property. Or, you can get the space converted into an extra bedroom or home office. Whichever you choose, it makes sense to renovate the loft so that it can serve its function as well as possible.
Spruce up your kitchen
The modern kitchen is arguably the most important room in your property, since you’ll likely be cooking, eating and socialising in there. A few small changes can make a world of difference to your life in the kitchen. You might swap out the cabinetry, or install a new appliance. Something as simple as changing the light fixtures can also make a world of difference.
