Room Renovation Ideas
Looking to freshen up your bedroom or give your living room a new look? There are plenty of ways to make your space come alive without doing an extensive and costly remodel. Furniture and decor may need to be updated but also consider anything else you can touch or see.
Living Room and Bedroom Ideas
When renovating a room, several key steps can transform its look and feel. First, it's often a good idea to remove old carpet or outdated flooring and replace it with a more modern option like hardwood, laminate, or luxury vinyl plank (LVP) flooring. This change can instantly update the room's aesthetic and make it more stylish.
Next, consider repainting the walls to refresh the color scheme. A new coat of paint can dramatically alter the room's ambiance, giving it a fresh and inviting appearance. For added visual interest, adding an accent wall can create a focal point and bring in a pop of color or texture.
Enhancing the room's architectural details can also elevate its appeal. This can be achieved by adding or upgrading trim features like crown molding and baseboards. These details add a touch of sophistication and completeness to the space.
It’s also important to consider the ceilings in your living spaces - wood beams, stained tongue and groove wood, coffer ceilings and other designs can give the room a wow look without even changing the floors or furniture.
To personalize the room further, consider installing floating shelves or other unique accents that showcase your personality and style. These can serve both functional and decorative purposes, allowing you to display items and create a more personalized atmosphere.
Lastly, for added coziness and ambiance, consider installing an electric fireplace in either a living room or master bedroom. The choice of finishes, such as stone or wood mantels, can significantly influence the room's overall aesthetic and make it a more inviting and comfortable space to enjoy.
Entry/Hallway Ideas
These areas are often overlooked and thought of as functionally necessary but not aesthetically pleasing but in reality, they also have great potential.
Wainscoting or paneling is a classic but still a popular choice for a hallway or entryway. These areas are known for lots of unused wall space and a little bit of tasteful woodwork can make them very attractive!
Adding shelving, coat hooks, or catch all drawers can help keep these areas tidy and maximize the space.
