Renovation Design Ideas for Spring
The days might still be cold but they are definitely getting longer. And that only means one thing: Spring is around the corner! Soon, new flowers will be popping up, the sun will come out to greet us more often and the weather will get warmer.
With warmer weather comes the possibility of getting on with renovations and design updates that you’ve been putting off during the colder months. If you want to give your home a bit of a makeover this Spring, here are just a few renovation ideas that are suitable for the season.
Paint your cabinets
If you fancy giving your kitchen a new look without spending money on a new fit-out, small updates like swapping out your cabinets make a huge difference. If they’re looking a bit old and worn, consider replacing the doors with a new design.
Alternatively, give them a lick of paint! Depending on what you want the mood to be in your kitchen, opt for dark shades for a cosier feel or be bold with a bright shade to bring a welcome pop of colour. And if you’re really ambitious and fancy making your own, a quality set of Milwaukee hand tools will guarantee a professional finish!
Replace your windows
With winter almost behind us, you’ll have a good idea about how heat efficient your windows are. If you’ve suffered a cold and draughty few months, then it’s a good idea to replace your windows before the next winter rolls around.
Investigate the different styles and consider which one will best suit your home. The right windows will bring in lots more sunlight, increase the sense of space and also add value to your property. With triple-glazed windows also becoming more popular, it might be a good idea to get some installed.
Illuminate your space
Lighting affords a great deal of personality to any home. Whether you are practically-minded, a minimalist, a maximalist or just someone who wants a few cosy corners in which to read their book, lighting says a lot about you.
Spring is a great time to update your lighting at home. Installing ceiling lights sometimes needs a professional whilst you can busy yourself finding brilliant lampshades, lamps and a few strings of fairylights for the ultimate cosy vibe.
Bring the outside in
Now that flowers are starting to emerge and the greenery is looking lusher by the day, you’re going to want some of that Spring-time optimism in your home. Not only is it aesthetically pleasing, but nature keeps us refreshed and calm.
Bring in some rustic charm with natural materials like wicker, wood and rattan. Mix it up with baskets, rugs and potted greens and have yourself an airy living space in which to welcome the warmer weather!
