You don’t need to spend a lot of money or go through a complicated, big remodelling project to be able to have a comfortable and beautiful home. Spending a lot of money on remodelling may not even be an option when you’re moving to a new home.
Small home improvements are often the most valuable to have and many of them you can do yourself. You can focus more on the small improvements that bring beauty, warmth, and functionality to the space. Here are several clever remodelling ideas to try for your new home.
Smart Lighting
Thanks to the increasing popularity of smart home hubs like Google Home and Amazon Echo, there are more smart appliances on the market than ever before. If you are interested in turning your new home into a smart one, the best way to start is by investing in smart lighting.
We normally turn to Philips Hue when talking about smart lighting, but the relatively expensive starter kit from Philips isn’t your only option. You can also look into brands like Xiaomi and Belkin for budget-friendly alternatives.
You also need a smart home hub to control the new smart lights you install around the house. Google’s new Home Mini is a great option, along with the equally affordable Amazon Echo Dot. The former lets you enjoy all the Google Home features for a fraction of the price.
New Radiators
To help make the entire house more energy-efficient, improving the interior climate control system is an alternative worth considering. Installing new, more efficient column radiators will not only reduce your energy bills, but also make the space appear more modern.
There are even radiators designed to blend in regardless of the interior theme you have. Different models and designs are available and they are more affordable than you think. You won’t even have to alter the entire system to get these new radiators installed.
Stainless Steel Countertops
Countertop replacement is a rather big home makeover to do, but adding stainless steel countertops to your kitchen is an investment worth making. Stainless steel is very durable and easy to maintain, which means you’re boosting the value of your property and making your kitchen look more modern at the same time.
Another great thing about using stainless steel countertops is the wide range of stainless steel appliances and electronics you can also add to the kitchen. It is easy to maintain a modern and minimalist theme with stainless steel and a primary colour – preferably white – as the foundation of the theme.
Concealed Storage
Having plenty of storage space is a must. It is easier to keep the house tidy and cosy when there’s a space for everything you own. To maintain clean interior design lines, concealed storage is the way to go.
What’s good about concealed storage today is the many pre-fabricated options you can choose from. If you want to add more space around the house, search for simple yet elegant storage kits that work well with the overall theme of the space.
As mentioned earlier, you don’t need to spend a lot of money to improve the interior of your new house. You just have to be clever about which remodelling projects you do.
