4 WAYS TO MAKE YOUR HOME FEEL NEW DURING THE PANDEMIC
Because of the COVID-19 pandemic, you’ve probably been a homebody for the past year and a half. But now, you’re starting to get a little bored with your home’s design. While you’re grateful that you’ve had a safe, comfortable place to stay throughout the pandemic, you’re also ready for a change of pace. Whether you want to start planning for major home improvement projects with Heilman Renovations or spend some time reviving your garden, these tips will help you refresh your home during this ongoing pandemic.
Outdoor Improvements
Throughout the pandemic, you probably found yourself spending more time in your yard than ever before. After long days at home, you needed some fresh air, and this outdoor space provided a safe, peaceful place to relax. If you feel like your garden has seen better days, why not invest in revamping your yard space? Not only do you want this space to be aesthetically pleasing, you also want to make it a better place to roll up your sleeves and work!
If you want to make sure that your garden looks its best, you will want to hire a professional landscape architect. They can redesign your garden for improved sun exposure and soil quality, all while improving your garden’s aesthetic appeal. In order to take the guesswork out of your garden design plan, you can invest in a 3D rendering. This will show you exactly how your design ideas would look! You can easily find freelance landscape designers on a platform like Upwork.
Indoor Wellness Spaces
In addition to fixing up your yard, you’ll definitely want to focus on making your home’s interior feel like a more welcoming space. If you haven’t gone to your gym or yoga studio in a while, why not create wellness spaces in your home? You could purchase an exercise machine, a set of dumbbells, a yoga mat, and speakers to set up a basic home gym where you can work out without risking exposure to the virus. Furthermore, you could look into adding features like an indoor garden if you’d like to grow herbs for cooking.
Simple DIY Projects
If you need to make some minor repairs or updates to your home features, you may be able to go the DIY route. Of course, this depends on your personal skill set, but with the right tools, tackling basic home repairs is generally quite easy! For example, Bankrate states that painting your front door, applying removable wallpaper, repainting your cabinets, and even replacing your bathroom hardware all make great DIY projects. You could also paint your walls with new hues to make your home more colorful. Head to your local hardware store and block off a weekend to focus on making DIY improvements. Your home will feel like new by Monday!
Hiring Contractors
What if you want to complete a larger project, like installing new flooring, renovating your whole kitchen, or even building an addition to your home? For more extensive home improvement projects, you’ll need to hire contractors. Square One recommends asking any contractors you’re considering about whether or not they are insured and what kind of experience they have with similar projects. You should double-check that they have worker’s compensation insurance. It’s also a good idea to inquire and see if the company has safety procedures in place due to the pandemic.
In the midst of the pandemic, there are plenty of things you can do to make your home a more pleasant place to spend your time. If you’re feeling the urge to refresh your home, this is the perfect opportunity! By investing in a few key renovation projects, you’ll be content while relaxing at home.
