Since the pandemic hit the globe, the sound of power tools and hammering have been echoing all across the USA and other parts of the globe. The pandemic has taught us many things, such as the importance of time, family, and how to make our homes a better living space when we have nowhere else to go.
The underlying reasons for home renovations and constructions have been varying from person to family. Some needed a bigger space for the kids to play, whereas others simply needed something to do, maybe extra space for remote work or renovating one’s cellar and replacing their boiler cover.
Nonetheless, with 2020 setting the trend for home redesigning and renovating, the trend is more likely to continue this year and the following couple of years. That said, if you think of it as the perfect time to re-evaluate your home, you are here at the right spot. Since the impact of the pandemic is more likely to stay for years to come, you ought to make the interiors of your home better, fun, and more liveable.
Where to Begin?
Once you have become comfy with the idea of renovating your home, there are two aspects you must consider before acting out on your renovating plans. Firstly, you need to assess your house and see what it lacks and how you could transform the target areas into a comfortable and lively living space.
Secondly, you need to set your budget aside as renovating your home demands an investment in the house, financially, mentally, and physically. We don’t want you to get unduly exhausted. Therefore, make sure that your investments are worth the resale value of your house – just in case. Once you have thoroughly planned out the basics, you are all set to start with your home renovation.
Making the Outdoor Space More Attractive
One thing that the pandemic has taught us is the unpredictability of life circumstances. Never before have we valued outdoor games and activities before since we have gotten confined to our homes’ insides. In comparison to your rooms, you will want to spend those long summer evenings outside on your terraces or backyards.
Whatever outdoor space you have at the moment, make it more attractive by sprucing it up. Trust us when we tell you that outdoor spaces have turned into the modern-day luxury that not everyone has. Among the list of top smart outdoor investments would be outdoor kitchens, pools, and shades.
You could also work on making your oasis dream come true by adding more greens and a mini-water resort for this summer. Don’t forget to add up colorful throw blankets and cushions for the perfect cozy feel in the evenings spent outside.
Upgrading Your Kitchen
Many chefs were born during the pandemic to make healthy home-cooked meals. Undoubtedly, kitchens have always held an important spot in all homes. However, the pandemic has significantly thrown added limelight on the already bright star of the house. That said, you ought to focus on upgrading your kitchen by making it more functional while focusing on the room’s aesthetic appeal.
Now, people are focusing on getting their hands on apartments that offer the best kitchens not only by appearance but also by functionality. While renovating your kitchen space, make sure to include a pantry as we have become more conscious about storing food and growing our own veggies in the backyard. In terms of appearance, we recommend using the same marbles/ tiles for the countertops and walls to make the kitchen appear cleaner, contemporary, and more spacious.
Inclusion of a Home Office
At the start of the pandemic, no one was sure when the waves of the COVID-19 would be over, and they could return to their offices and normal routines. Right now, most people are working from the safety and comforts of their homes without having an exact given data on which they could resume going to their offices. That said, creating an effective home office has become just as inevitable as the inclusion of a functional kitchen and an improved outdoor space.
Despite the partial re-opening of offices and workplaces, home offices have become essential as the pandemic is more likely to stay for a few more years to come. That said, choosing the best location that separates you from the rest of your house, and where preferably your children and pets cannot reach and disturb you amidst you taking important calls and attending meetings. If you happen to have a spare guest room or an unused closet, you can make good use of the extra space and create it into the dream office that you always thought about.
Keep it as professional as possible with the mandatory furniture and office equipment. What is better, you could include soundproofing to maintain your focus during office hours.
