Add the Finishing Touches to Your Home Renovation

 

For the last eighteen months or so, many of us have spent much of our time at home due to Covid restrictions and so it’s hardly surprising that homeowners have used this time to carry out often long overdue home renovations, whether they live in Sydney or anywhere else in Australia. Often these renovations have been something as simple as adding extra space to accommodate a home office, while some have been full-blown renovations incorporating new bathrooms and kitchens.

If you’ve chosen to renovate your home in the past few months, no doubt you’re coming to the end of the construction work and you’re looking forward to having your home back again.  We take a look at three things that will add the finishing touches to your home renovation.

Be Clever with Storage

A home can never have too much storage, although there is a school of thought that says, the more places we have to store our stuff, the more stuff we will store. However, having enough storage to accommodate all your belongings will mean a much neater and more organised home. If you didn’t add specific storage areas into your renovations, now is the time to create some dedicated storage using shelving and ready-made units. Shelving can help you to organise cupboard space, add extra surfaces in the kitchen or bathroom, or display favourite items in living areas.

Think About Lighting

When carrying out home renovations, updating your lighting can go a long way to changing the look and feel of a space. Changing outdated fixtures, bulbs and switches will add a modern and contemporary look to your home, whether you add dimmer switches for the living room, multiple pendant lights for the dining area or a backlit mirror to your bathroom. If you haven’t already done so, visit a local lighting store for inspiration. There are so many different styles of lighting available and you don’t need to spend a fortune to create a new look for your home.

Invest in Some New Home Accessories

Investing in new accessories for your home will immediately give your rooms a refresh and can also provide an opportunity to welcome in a new season. How about some cool linen throws and cushions for the living room? A new plant or two to add greenery to your bedroom or a set of coordinating towels for your new bathroom or shower room? Invest in good quality accessories and they will serve you well.

Enjoy Your New Space

Renovating your home can be stressful at times, even if you do use a company that’s experienced in carrying out home renovations in Northern Beaches such as the team at Your Style. However, once all the hard work is over, you can sit back and relax and enjoy your new space.
