The past year has evoked a strong desire in all of us to renew and optimise our living space. Below are 10 ways to renovate your home in the near future, here are 10 ways to make your home look & feel a little more ‘custom’ –
- Updated staircase
The staircase is often prominent in the house and is ready for an effective upgrade. Consider updating the stairs with new railings, new paint or paint coats, trimmed or tiled risers, or your own runners instead of the builder standard stairs. If you’re looking for even more dramatic changes, consider adding decorative details and rich colours to the stairwell.
- Custom Built-Ins
The bespoke built-in wardrobe is a beautiful and functional addition that provides value to your home. A talented carpenter with experience in custom home building can easily create desks, bookshelves, pantry, TV cabinets, closets, etc. that will fit your space perfectly and give your home a bespoke feel. The most common places where homeowners often prefer large custom-made pieces are their living rooms, study rooms, and playrooms, etc.
- Solid Core Interior Doors
You can replace the hollow core doors of your home with a 1.75-inch solid core door. Not only do these doors feel heavy and are of high quality, but you can also customise the panels of these doors to better fit your updated style. You can update your door hardware as well while you’re updating the hollow core doors.
- Updated & Consistent Trim
You can update all the skirting boards, mouldings and door / window trims according to the current trends & styles. After updating all the details of these trims at home, it will look like it was designed and built custom rather than “builder basic” or semi-custom.
- Ceiling Detailing
Customising the ceiling details of your home can improve the individual atmosphere of your home. Fortunately, it is not even a large or an expensive task. You can consider adding solid or box-shaped beams, tongue and groove siding, unique decorative details, or colours that will complement the walls of your home. When combined with the other design elements, the ceiling details will help create a cohesive custom design and turn your home into a unique masterpiece.
- Kitchen Customization
Customising your kitchen is arguably the most important item of this list. Lack of renovation in your kitchen will make your home look or feel a lot less “custom”. You can update your kitchen to improve both its shape and functions, it will then fit well into your family’s daily life, and also will reflect your personal style in a cohesive way.
- Floor Inlays
Adding inlays to the home floors is usually considered to be a major refurbishment. It is rarely run as a standalone project. Incorporating an inlaid design into a foyer, hallway, or a room can help you define the space, switch from one space to another, or simply make a design statement in your rooms, dining area, etc.
- Wall Detailing
When you give your home your own personal taste and aesthetics, it gets a distinctive look. You must incorporate personality into your wall design with fresh wallpaper, individual cladding, unique paint or plaster, to make your wall appear more individualistic in style.
- Customised Bathrooms
This option is neither simple nor cheap but is too valuable to not be considered. If your bathroom layout is already working well, you can just focus on updating its finishing touches such as lighting, countertops, cabinets & storage, tiles, sanitary fixtures, etc. There are plenty of worthy finishing options that are affordable too. Before investing your time and money, you should make sure that the overall design of each bathroom is fresh and consistent.
- Plan for Lightning
Lighting is often seen as an overlooked aspect of semi-custom homes. In addition to the usual combination of an embedded box and a simple pendant light, there are many things to consider when creating a lighting plan for your home remodelling. You should first focus on your particular lighting preferences such as do you and your family prefer warmer or colder lights? What is your combined choice among ceiling lightings, lamp lighting and directional wall lighting? Pendant or chandelier or wall mount candlestick? There are other factors to be considered as well such as lighting control systems, art wall lighting, light dimmers, etc. You can also choose to create a fully customised lighting plan for your home.
