IMPROVEMENT TIPS
EW YEAR
ur home for 2014
“
If now that 2014 has rolled around, you’re feeling the New Year itch, be sure to
use our fantastic local companies to get your homes looking rejuvenated
knocking down walls and
adding on square footage.
Whichever improvements you
have in mind, here are a few
tips to guide you throughout
the process.
Firstly, assess your home to
determine the current state of
things and look at what ideas
you want to implement. Walk
through your rooms and decide
what jobs feature on the wish
list and which need doing out of
necessity.
Also ask yourself how long
you plan to be in your home. If
you are planning on selling
your home this year, your
budget for improvements may
be different than if you plan to
stay put for a while. If you want
to get your return on
investment,
ensure
you
upgrade the parts of your home
that home buyers are interested
in.
Seek out inspiration by
flicking through home and
garden magazines, picking up
colour swatches from the local
DIY shops and seek out some
innovative ideas.
It is important to know your
budget. With Christmas only
just behind us money is often
tight for many home
owners at this time of year.
