HOMES AND GARDENS
Spruce up your home
this summer
If the warmer weather has given you the urge to revive your home , be sure to use these fantastic local companies to get your homes looking rejuvenated this summer . Now is an excellent time to consider adding on to your home as well as completing projects .
Home improvements can range from upgrading existing fixtures and finishes to 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 buyers are interested in .
Seek out inspiration by flicking through books and magazines , picking up colour swatches from local DIY shops and seek out some innovative ideas .
If major improvements are on the cards , make sure you seek out the proper permits from the local planning authority .
Even though there is a serious side to home improvement , it should also be fun and rewarding . If you aren ’ t going to enjoy your hard work and effort , hire a professional and leave the hard work to them .
Follow these tips to help you plan your project and gain inspiration and you shouldn ’ t go far wrong .
