There is a lot that can go wrong with home improvement projects. Remodeling or fixing up your home can make it a much nicer place to live and can raise your property value, if you do it correctly. This is a bit of advice we have put together for you to keep in mind on your next home improvement weekend.
Design a renovation with an eye to creating built-in storage. For example, a broom closet can be reborn into a small pantry, or you can add floor-level shelving to a coat closest for shoes and bags. If you are renovating to sell a home, the benefit of the added storage can be the deciding factor in a buyer’s decision.
If you have small holes in your wall, you can repair them by using spackling paste. Simply apply the paste to fill the holes and wait for it to dry. The paste may expand and crack, so you can apply a little more paste if needed. When dry, sand away any excess until the dried spackle is flush with the wall. Then paint the wall any color you desire.
To stop squeaks, use construction adhesive. You may need to do it from your basement or even the crawlspace, but this is one improvement that is worth the effort. Use a caulking gun to apply, and run glue along the side of each floor joist, sealing the sub-floor planks to them.
Patch the holes in your walls with toothpaste! Yes, this is definitely a temporary cover up but it works to hide an ugly hole until you can come up with the materials for a more permanent fix. Use white toothpaste and trowel it into the hole with a butter knife.
Installing all-new, complementary hardware can make your bathroom look a lot more attractive and modern, and the cost involved is eminently affordable. You can find items such as shower curtain rods, towel racks or knobs in different shapes and colors. You can find complete, coordinating packages of these items in many home improvements stores.
A very simple home improvement tip is to declutter. Start with this easy task: If you have kids, you may be guilty of cluttering your fridge with their work and little design magnets. Keep your appliances clear by attaching just some of your children’s artwork and only a few magnets at a time. You can switch these items out every week.
Here is an idea! To call attention to pieces of your furniture and accessories that are brown or purple, place them against a white backdrop. This is especially great if you live in an apartment and are unable to paint your room a different color other than white. Utilize this color and create a space full of personality through the use of a brown couch and purple decorative pillows.
As you can see, home improvement has the potential to do a lot of good in the aesthetics of your home as well as it’s market value. Making some wise investments may really pay off in the long run and make your home more energy efficient and valuable.
