Vinyl Flooring

One of the most popular products homeowners are going for this year are Luxury Vinyl Planks, which have to be seen to believed. They’re gorgeous. With so many hundreds of styles, colors and varieties to choose from you’ll find the perfect flooring for your home, no matter if you’re looking for the kitchen, bathroom, or the entire house!

No, you haven’t walked into the plot of Harry Potter. The latest big trend among homeowners is turning that space under the stairs into something spectacular! Gone are the days of using that cool, understated space for a coat or broom closet, or a catch-all for junk. Why not make it a tiny office space, or a miniature playroom for the kids? With a few easy tweaks, you could convert it into a pantry area to store your jams and jellies, or a liquor cabinet/bar for your guests!

When in doubt: Paint!

If you’re on a budget, and aren’t able to afford costly renovations and big purchases, don’t worry! You can totally transform the look of your house with some simple paint. Well, simple may not really do it justice, because these days, there are so many different paints on the market that you can truly customize your space into something magical with just a simple can and a brush! There are textured paints, chalk-board paint, metallic paints, and not to mention every color under the rainbow, from neons to pastels and everything in between. Always wanted to paint your bedroom fuschia? Do it!

These are just a few simple ideas, but the sky is the limit! Remodelling can be fun and rewarding, especially if you take the DIY approach. Whether it’s just because you need a change, or whether you have home improvements you need to make, now is a great time to start! And it doesn’t have to be expensive! With just your imagination and a can-do attitude, you can transform your home into something you love.
