5 Quick & Satisfying Home Renovation Projects To Consider this Winter

Do you have a dated home that needs some sprucing up? Are you looking to increase the value of your home? Whether it’s for investment or personal reasons, a few satisfying and quick home renovation projects can help with both of those goals.

With so many home improvement ideas available, it can be difficult and overwhelming to know which type of renovation will give the biggest return on your time and money. With a little research and planning, however, you can find the perfect project to make your house more appealing and as we like to say, ‘red carpet ready’.

Here are 5 quick & satisfying home renovation projects that will increase the value of your home.

Install hardwood floors 

In a previous blog article on laminate flooring, we said that laminate flooring is one of the most popular flooring options available today. It’s not uncommon to see laminate in commercial spaces, such as office buildings, hotels, and schools. Its resilience to scratches, dirt and moisture, and perhaps most importantly, affordability, makes laminate flooring a great fit for almost any home too. Vinyl, laminate or engineered hardwood floors are all a great investment for any home.

Not only are these types of flooring beautiful and durable, they’re also more cost-effective than other flooring options like ceramic. They come in a wide variety of styles and colours, and you can choose the type that fits your decor the best. The installation process isn’t difficult or time-consuming with the Red Carpet Handyman, but it does require careful measurements and planning. Whether combined with an underfloor heating system or not, after you have completed your flooring project, you will get years of use from your beautiful ‘red carpet ready’ floors!

Repaint your walls & ceilings 

A few of our social media posts have focused on repainting your walls and ceilings. If you’re looking to increase the value of your home, a good place to start is with paint. Painting your walls and ceilings can drastically change the outlook of your home and add new life to old and stale spaces. With just a few cans of paint, you can completely refresh the look of your rooms. It also makes it easier for potential purchasers to visualize what they could do with your home if you are in the market to sell.

Renovate A Kitchen Or Dining Room 

Kitchens and dining rooms are often neglected when it comes to home renovation projects. The spaces can be hard to decorate, as you need to make sure that the colours you select will go well with your family’s style. When it comes to kitchen and dining room renovations, a new layout can help make the space more functional. A good place for a large table and countertops is near the stove. By moving the stove, it makes more headroom in the space. New appliances can also help make this area functional, as they allow for better preparation of food.

Installing New Lighting 

The average person spends 80 percent of their time indoors, so it can be important to ensure that your home is comfortable and welcoming. If you have old lighting in your home, it’s time for a change. New lighting can make a huge difference! It can transform the room and provide more light for tasks like cooking and reading. You can choose from many different types of lighting such as pendant lights over dining tables, flush lights over kitchen countertops, and sconce lights over fireplaces.

Repair & Re-Decorating 

Replacing or repairing items in your home can make the space more appealing. If you are looking to increase the value of your home, then this is a great place to start. Mother Nature often leaves us with some beautiful pieces that just need to be re-purposed. A broken window? Replace it! Cracked ceilings? Re-cover them! Worn out furniture? Replace it! This type of renovation project will give you a quick return on your time and money while also upgrading the appearance of your home.

Concluding Thoughts

Take advantage of the winter months. If you are looking to increase the value of your home, consider renovating during the winter months. The colder weather will keep your costs down and give you plenty of time to complete the project. You also have plenty of time to think about how you want to complete it as well.
