Are you tired of the same old house that you've been living in for the past five years but aren't quite ready to move? Remodeling your home is a great way to shake things up and increase your property value all at the same time! But doing so can be expensive, so you'll need to pick and choose which areas of your home you'd like to remodel first. Here are some common ways others choose to remodel their homes.
Bathrooms
If you live with another individual, whether that's a roommate, a spouse, or even an entire family, simply being able to use the bathroom can be a struggle in itself. With that many people going in and out of the bathroom, it makes sense that you'd want it to be as close to perfect as you can get it. First off, any bathroom floor that is covered in carpet needs to go, as it can quickly become damaged due to the dampness in the air from taking all those steamy showers. That brings us to the showers themselves, which should be roomy and equipped with all the fancy jets and nozzle attachments your heart desires. Getting the toilet throne of your dreams is every homeowner's dream, and for those that are tired of fighting their spouse for their turn in the mirror, installing double sinks is life-changing.
Basements
Is your basement a concrete jungle of various holiday decorations and old furniture? If so, you are wasting valuable space that could otherwise be transformed into a recreational area for the whole family. By simply laying down carpet and adding paneling to the walls, installing some light fixtures, and decorating the basement as you see fit, your concrete jungle will soon become the go-to hangout spot for you and your kids. It will be the space where you go to watch movies and eat popcorn, play video games, or whoop your kids at foosball. While you'll have to figure out what to do with all the current clutter, you won't regret the extra addition to your home-and if you've got young kids, you might find that your house is suddenly much quieter than before.
Kitchens
For those that spend a good chunk of their time preparing dinner in the kitchen, having a fully remodeled kitchen to their exact liking sounds like a dream. And why not? With a company like Cabinet IQ, you can fully replace your cabinets and countertops. While you're at it, why not replace the floors, add a backsplash, and install all new appliances? It might break the bank, but it's the kitchen you'll be using for many years to come.
The Perfect Home
These are some of the most common areas of the home that homeowners tend to remodel first, and if you're thinking that your home could use some change, you might want to consider starting here. Remodel the bathroom, change up the kitchen, whatever you want! Your home is your castle, and you can shake it up however you want.
