1) Ditch the drab white walls and paint them in warm shades of gold, deep reds, burnt orange, or even cream. White gives the impression of being sterile and looks outdated. Is your house painted in pastel tones? It’s definitely time for a try so it doesn’t look dated.
2) Big bathtubs that you don’t use? It can be a problem, especially with small bathrooms. People prefer space for their living conditions, especially in the morning when they are in a hurry and the last thing they need is to be stuck in traffic, literally! Consider upgrading to a walk-in shower to avoid this inconvenience. It looks so much better anyway!
3) Replace ceiling fans. If they have gold accents, like in the 1980s, replace them right away!
4) Replace traditional blinds and opt for curtains. They are much more attractive and allow a good amount of natural sunlight into your home.
5) Remove carpeting (especially shag carpeting!) and replace with hardwood or tile flooring. It’s now more affordable than ever to install hardwood floors, plus engineered flooring is coming to where anyone can have it, no matter what climate you live in. Use stylish rugs to accent your living space and add coziness.
6) Add stainless steel appliances in kitchen and laundry areas, including dishwashers, washers, dryers, refrigerators. Improve bathrooms and faucets.
7) Upgrade to granite countertops in kitchens and bathrooms. The same goes for bathroom cabinets and kitchen cabinets.
8) Upgrade your fireplace to make it safer and more attractive
9) Install custom cabinets in your kitchen. Using high-quality, exotic woods with custom stains can go a long way in turning your home into a beautiful living space.
10) Routinely power wash your patio or pool deck to ensure no build up of dirt or mold.
11) Upgrade a clay tile roof for a stylish finishing touch to your home
12) Change lighting fixtures. This includes adding edgy modern ceiling lights – a quick and super easy way to instantly upgrade your home.
13) Replace your front door with glass or beautifully sanded craft wood.
14) Replace the ceiling lighting in the dining room. Opt for minimalist, modern lighting fixtures and remember that “less is always more” in today’s modern design schemes.
15) Consider re-tiling your front porch or sidewalk, especially if the cracks are filled with dirt.
16) Consider changing the shower tiles, especially if there is mold or mineral deposits building up in the bathtubs.
17) Switch shower heads to mineral and rust resistant steel. The elaborate shower heads have become very popular. You don’t need them in every bathroom, but the master bathroom certainly makes sense.
