As a parent, you
want to create a welcoming, safe and enjoyable environment for your kids and
partner, especially if you are remodelling your first family home. However,
family life can leave your fixtures looking drab, chipped, and old-fashioned if
you do not take the appropriate steps to improve their appearance. If you are
looking for some of the best ways to spruce up each room of your house, this
guide will help you to create the perfect home for you and your family.
Bathroom
The first thing
that you should do to update the look of your bathroom is to replace its old
fixtures with new equivalents, such as modern bathtubs, showers, and sinks. Not
only can these improve the appearance of your bathroom, they can also help to
add value to your home. They’re also often more efficient, which can help you
to save money on water bills. To install these, you may want to hire professional plumbing services
who can attach the pipes to the necessary fixtures and appliances and repair
any issues with your original piping system, such as leaks or blocked drains.
You can also
improve the appearance of your bathroom by adding plants, which can also help
to stop damp and other issues through their ability to eradicate stale air.
Many houseplants thrive in humid and steamy climates, such as spider plants.
Walls can often
become warped and smudged by water and damp in bathrooms. You should consider
adding removable wallpaper or custom wallpapers, as this will add a touch of glamour to your bathroom
that will draw your attention. However, wallpaper can soon be damaged in a
bathroom, and so easily removable types will stop this from becoming a major
problem.
Kitchen
Many older
kitchens have dated appliances that can detract from the appearance of your
kitchen. To make the kitchen a bright and homely space for your family, you
should replace your fixtures such as sinks with modern alternatives. If this is
not possible, you should paint over your steelwork with stainless steel paint,
which can instantly brighten your fixtures even if they do not yet need
replacing.
Families should
also focus on making their kitchens communal spaces that are the central hub of
the home. You can do this by investing in a kitchen island which can have
multiple purposes throughout the day, from food preparation to eating your
breakfasts.
You should also
consider your
house’s storage options in the kitchen- family kitchens are often cluttered
and disorganized, which can make them look dated. To improve their look, you
should install more storage options such as shelving, or create a pantry for
your foodstuffs. You should also update the cupboards that you already have
with a sanding machine, or varnish.
Living Room
Your family
living room should be a relaxing and enjoyable space for all the family; if you
are finding that your lounge is cluttered with the kid’s toys, you should
consider creating
a separate play area in your living room for the kids to enjoy. This can
help to separate noise and clutter from the main body of your home and give
them a parent-free space to play.
You should also
make sure that your living room has plenty of natural light. You can increase
natural light by moving all your furniture away from the windows and doors,
and placing them directly opposite light sources. You can also boost natural
light by featuring mirrors which can reflect available light throughout the
room, and through installing warm artificial lighting which can boost the
natural light.
You can also
improve your décor by replacing your soft furnishings. When you have kids or
pets, throws, blankets and cushions can become tattered easily. If this is the
case, you should replace these with bright, patterned soft furnishings that are
also easy to wash, and allow you to remove stains.
Bedroom
Your bedroom
needs to be decorated with sleep in mind, and the color
of your bedroom walls can drastically improve the space. Choose calming
blues, greens, and pastel colors for your bedroom walls, as these have been
proven to enhance sleep and promote a relaxing atmosphere, You should also
consider improving the look of your bedroom by creating a focal point, such as
a favorite piece of artwork or a feature wall. Either that, or you should
consider using the vertical space, with high shelves and long tapestries, which
can help to make your room look more spacious.
Your family home
should be somewhere you love to return to, where your children can play in
safety and somewhere which showcases who you are. The above advice will help
you to create the ideal family home, simply by improving its appearance.
