Improve the look of your kitchen or bathroom with a home renovation

When approaching home renovations there are a lot of details to delve into or to become overwhelmed by. We have complied a list of 10 easy home improvements that can improve the look of your home.

1. Paint:
Patch any holes or damaged areas, sand walls to achieve the right finish and add a fresh coat of paint to your walls. Touching up your base boards and moldings can make a world of difference as well.

2. Moldings
Replace old, cracked or  missing moldings in your home. This can really be the finishing touch that makes a difference. Putting up trim in the rooms of your home really showcases your wall colours, furniture or art.

3. Hardware
From your kitchen to the bathroom and everything in between, switch out your dated cabinet knobs, hooks, racks and bathroom accessories for something more modern and clean looking.

4. Flooring
New flooring can change the feel of your entire space.  Running new hardwood throughout your or home creates a sense of continuity throughout the space. This is a relatively inexpensive way of adding extra value to your home.

5. Appliances
New appliance are definitely eye-catching way to update your kitchen. Not to mention that updated appliances are more energy efficient and offer a variety of new functions and programs.

6. Cabinets
Refacing cabinets is one the most economical methods of increase the value of a kitchen. Refacing is typically about 50 percent cost of complete cabinet replacement.

7. Tiles
Those pink tiles in your bathroom are extremely easy to replace.  This is one update that will drastically change the appearance of your bathroom.  Choose a more neutral tile colour to create a sense of space in your bathroom.

8. Fixtures
Replace your faucets and sinks with more modern designs and styles. Another easy update that is inexpensive but can increase the overall appeal of any room.

9. Lighting
Older light fixtures tend to discolor over time and simply become outdated. Replacing light fixtures is a good return on investment, because of their relatively low cost compared to the costs of other upgrades in a kitchen or bathroom.

10. Tub & Toilet
Toilets and tubs come in all shapes and sizes and costs. You can take your tub & toilet from outdated to fresh and modern with relatively low costs or you can take your current tub and have it made into steam shower in jacuzzi for that added value.
