Spring is finally in full swing with warmer weather, longer days, and the feeling of new growth in the air! Here are a few springtime renovations and things to know to revive your home:
Why Renovate During Spring
Spring is the perfect time of year to renovate your home because the weather is not too hot or too cold, and contractors have not entered their busy season yet. Home renovations typically require people going in and out of the house, meaning the doors are left open for long periods of time. If you were to renovate during the winter, your house would quickly get cold inside as workers walk in and out of the house. Or when renovating in the summer, your home’s air conditioning unit would work overtime, keeping the indoor spaces cool from the summer heat drafting in through open doors. The moderate weather of the spring season means this is the perfect time to complete home projects.
If you are conducting a big renovation project such as new flooring or cabinet upgrades, it is common for workers to repeatedly walk in and out of doors to their trucks for tools and materials. The spring season promises more moderate weather to keep your house comfortable during these busy renovation projects. And as this season kicks off spring cleaning, renovations, and work on your home, many showrooms offer deals and discounts to sell remaining products from the prior year. During spring, you are likely to find valuable deals and discounts with local businesses in the home renovation industry. There is also less risk in the springtime of deliveries being delayed due to severe weather if you order new materials for your home renovation. Plus, the sun sets later in the springtime, so workers can take advantage of the longer days when working on your house.
If you are renovating certain areas of your home before listing it for sale on the market, early spring is the best time to renovate and increase the value of your home. Spring and summer are the busiest seasons for the real estate market, so renovating your home in spring will ensure the new renovations will be noticed and valued by buyers on the market. A beautiful renovation, such as a full kitchen cabinet upgrade, will help your house stand out in the marketplace and be desirable with buyers.
Renovation Ideas for Your Home
One thing all homeowners know is that there is always another house project to work on next! Make a list of all the home renovations you wish to complete, then prioritize them based on your budget and the level of value it will bring to you and everyone else in your home.
Here are a few home renovation ideas to add to your list:
1. Kitchen Cabinets: The cabinetry is what sets the tone and style of your kitchen. It is easy to tell if your home style is outdated just by looking at the cabinets. Technology has come a long way in little time in the cabinet industry. Our precision technology, nearly endless options for color, and trendy materials can all work in your favor to revive your home. If your cabinets are flimsy, damaged, or produce an unpleasant odor, it may be time to update your kitchen cabinets.
2. Adding Space to Your Kitchen: Have you noticed during gatherings at home how people tend to congregate in the kitchen? The kitchen is not only where the cooking is done or the dishes are washed, but it is a space where people like to eat and chat. You can add more space to your kitchen by adding a breakfast bar or island in your kitchen where family, friends, and other guests have room to sit and gather. Add functionality to this new feature in your kitchen by installing cabinetry within the bar or island.
3. Increase Storage in Bathrooms: Especially with a large family in the house, there seems to never be enough space in the bathroom. New cabinets can be installed to increase the utility and storage of your bathrooms. If you need more shelves and drawers to store supplies, make up, towels, and more, consider working with one of our professional designers to create a new layout for cabinets that work best for your bathrooms and all those who use it.
Spring Renovation Trends for Homes 2022
Do you like to stay with the times and keep your home’s style updated? Here are a few spring renovation trends for homes in 2022:
- Decks and Patios for Comfort: Most people love to spend time in the outdoors, whether it is for their morning coffee or after work hangout with friends. One 2022 home trend this spring is to build a deck or patio to welcome friends and family over for quality time in the warm, fresh air!
- Built-In Storage: Another emerging trend for home styles in 2022 is perfect for spring cleaning. Declutter, organize, and revive your indoor spaces with built-in storage! You can add built-in shelving underneath stairs or shelves and cubbies in a closet to organize books, toys, shoes, crafts, and much more.
- Let In Natural Light: Bring the natural light of the outdoors into your home by updating the windows in your house. Over the years, windows can trap moisture, become hard to open and close, and get damaged. By updating the windows of your home, the clear glass allows more natural light to shine into your home and can help keep your energy costs low as the new weather-stripping blocks drafts from the hot or cold air outside.
Whether you are looking to upgrade the kitchen, bathroom, or bedroom, adding cabinetry can increase storage space, allow you to pick a new style, and add functionality. If you want to fully remodel your kitchen, it is best to start with choosing large appliances first, such as the refrigerator, dishwasher, sink, and oven and stove. Once you have those items finalized, you can move onto the design, style, and features of your cabinetry and counter tops.
