First, prioritize those renovations that will have maximum impact, both in terms of aesthetics and investment values. Also prioritize the projects that will enhance the livability and enjoyment of your home.
Next, decide whether or not it makes sense to handle those projects on your own or call in a professional for help. According to the experts at Sears Home Services, while talking on home remodeling yourself can seem daunting, enlisting the right help can make the process simple and seamless.
Here are three areas of the home to put at the top of your list this year:
The Bathroom
According to the National Association of REALTORS , one of the best investments in a home is a bathroom renovation. Remodeling a bathroom that’s more than 25 years old substantially increases the value of your home. While your bathroom may not need a complete makeover, updating cabinets, lighting, tiling or countertops can go a long way toward improving design and functionality. Or consider a few quick fixes, such as a new towel bar, shower-curtain rod, robe hooks or showerhead.
The Kitchen
The kitchen is the heart of the home. Kitchen renovations don’t need to be dramatic to be impactful. Updates such as new countertops, cabinets, appliances or flooring can all dramatically improve the kitchen. These improvements can also help yield increased functionality and space throughout the kitchen. For a simple refresh, homeowners can give their kitchen a new look by replacing the hardware on cabinets, painting or updating fixtures.
The Floors
A great way to upgrade an area of your home and pull a room together is to install new floors. There are many options to choose from: tile, laminate, porcelain or ceramic tile, vinyl or hardwood. Consult a home-improvement retailer or flooring expert to help make the best choice and to ensure proper installation.
