Home improvement involves two things: paint and everything else. Your home’s exterior and interior
paint will always be the most visible aspect of your home. So, when you are thinking about home
improvement, you should defiantly be thinking about a high quality outside and inside paint job first. If
thinking about home improvement overwhelms you due to the near endless things you can do to a
home, don’t worry. We have a few basic considerations that can put on the right track to start your
home improvement journey. When starting out with home improvement, there are three easy changes
you can make to improve your home’s interior:
- Good lighting
- Tasteful furniture
- Quality appliances that won’t become dated
After these three easy changes, you can start thinking about renovations that require some more
serious work:
- Changing doors and windows
- Upgrading cabinets
- Good landscaping
Then comes the most important home improvement you can make: a good quality exterior paint job
with a complementary quality interior paint job.
1. Lighting
Interior lighting is a simple and easy thing to change up. However, there are a lot of considerations when
thinking about lighting.
- The house’s main room lights. This is also called ambient light
- Lighting used to draw focus on different parts of the home’s interior, known as accent lights.
Then there are lights used for lighting normal household work or recreational activities. These can be
lights like reading lights or lights used to illuminate the kitchen table when having dinner. There are
many categories of lighting that can improve your home’s interior, so if this is overwhelming you,
defiantly consult a lighting professional.
2. Furniture
Changing furniture is a great start to home improvement because it is an easy change. You will want
furniture that matches the theme of your home’s interior. Furthermore, picking out pieces of furniture
that are timeless will give you value:
- You won’t have to change out the furniture so often
3. Appliances
Furniture is an easy change and the same holds true for changing out the appliances. You’ll want to give
appliances the same consideration as furniture. Pick out appliances that fit your home’s look and that
will not look dated in a few years. Think of the typical lime green fridge of the 1970s or the cheap
looking white appliances from the 1990s. You want to avoid this situation as much as possible.
4. Doors
Changing out doors will require some work but it is still fairly easy to do. Doors make up a large part of
the surface area of a room, making them play a big part in showcasing the style of your home. What you
will want to think about is what is the right door and doorframe that fits with what you want the theme
of the room to be.
5. Kitchen Cabinets
Doors make up a large portion of surface area and so do cabinets. This is why kitchen cabinets are also
an important point in home improvement. Combine cabinets with kitchen appliances and you have two
large areas of the kitchen. Changing these two things will make a world of difference on how your
kitchen will look. Changing out the cabinets will of course take some work.
6. Landscaping
Your home most likely sits on some land, this is where landscaping comes in to play. At the very least,
you should have a very well maintained piece of land. This will take some work, including on-going
maintenance. There is a lot you can do with the land your house sits on. If you are thinking of ideas
outside just a good looking yard, you can also consult a landscaping expert.
7. Exterior and Interior Paint
Finally, the most important aspect of home improvement: Paint. As mentioned earlier, your home’s
paint is the largest and most viewed area. This is why paint is such an important part of home
improvement. The most serious consideration you should have with your home’s outside and inside
paint job is quality. The paint job needs to e done right. No matter what you do in the name of home
improvement will be affected by the paint job. A low quality paint job will make your home look low
quality. For the best interior and exterior paint job, we strongly recommend using a painting
professional.
