Summer’s on its way, and whether you’re planning to invite friends and family over to enjoy the sun or you just want to take advantage of the hotter months, you’ll probably want to renovate and refresh your home.
If that’s the case but you’re not sure what to do, you’ve come to the right place. Our experts have listed their top 5 creative ideas to help you renovate and refresh your home in time for summer.
Add colour with fresh paint
One relatively quick and easy way to refresh your home is by adding a new coat of paint. Adding bold accent walls or utilising light pastels are perfect for the summer season, especially as they help to give your home a brighter, more energetic atmosphere.
With larger projects where you may be painting several rooms or even the whole house, costs can quickly exceed the budget. In this case, you could be left with an unfinished house until you have the funds to complete the project. Taking out secured loans could be your best option, giving you quick access the the cash you need to finish the project.
Upgrade your kitchen with a new splashback
Getting a kitchen splashback is a brilliant way to modernise the space, and make your cooking area much easier to clean. There’s a wide range of splashback materials and designs that you can choose from to fully customise your kitchen, but we recommend lighter colours.
Choosing options like white tiles or pastel mosaics can help reflect the bright summer vibe, making your home seem more lively.
Transform your garden or patio into a summer oasis
Summer is the perfect time to get full use out of your garden or patio, but only if it’s up to standard. Fortunately, there are various ways you can give even an old patio a fresh lease on life.
Adding new garden furniture, like dining tables and seating is one excellent option, especially if you’re hosting. Alternatively, you might want to include some statement plants like fountain bamboo or an olive tree to help draw attention. You should also think about the positioning of your plants, furniture, and other ornaments since this can adjust how big your space feels.
Effective use of these elements can help turn your garden or patio into a comfortable and relaxing space, perfect for entertaining or enjoying the sun.
Install new flooring for a cool, refreshing look
Old, worn-out carpets can quickly make your home feel old and worn too. Instead, why not swap those old carpets for a more stylish and durable option, like laminate or light wood? By using these more natural materials throughout your home, you can create a wonderful fresh look throughout your home.
But perhaps more importantly, it’ll help keep your house cooler – especially on those hot summer days.
