No matter how wonderful a house is when it is moved into, over time things will begin to look worn. As long as it is structurally sound, there is no need to spend a lot of time or money when it comes to revamping the look of the house.
1. Floors
One of the things that can bring down the look of a room is old, worn-out flooring. Over time floors can get damaged by exposure to sunlight, moisture and constant use. Talk to a professional about wood finishing in Louisville to brighten up the look of existing hardwood flooring. Other types of flooring, such as carpet and linoleum will likely need to be replaced.
2. Walls
A fresh coat of paint can do wonders for any room in the house. Use painter’s tape to create stripes or designs on the walls or put up textured wallpaper to add depth. Wood paneling can be installed to make a room feel cozy and intimate.
3. Furniture
If the furniture is sturdy and well-liked, there is no need to replace it. Wood furniture can be repaired to look like new, and chairs and couches can be reupholstered for a new look. Even if a piece is old and does not seem to have a purpose, it can be reimagined as something else. An old entertainment center can become a display case, or an old tv stand could make a charming plant stand.
4. Decor
Repaint shelves or reframe pictures and mirrors to breathe new life into old objects. Scour second-hand shops for interesting accent pieces to fit in with the new style of the house.
There are many ways to update the look of a house that will not break the bank. Be creative and enjoy the process of making the home look like new.
