Whether you want to create more value for resale or do some remodeling for a change of scenery, the Robin Martin & Associates team knows that you can make luxurious upgrades while not breaking the bank. Here are 5 budget-friendly tips for your next home renovation.
New Kitchen Countertops
If you have quality cabinets but not-so-great surfaces, new countertops are a great way to create that “wow” factor in your kitchen. Even if you want to change up your cabinets, painting them white and changing the knobs is often simple and inexpensive.
Example: These gorgeous new countertops are at our current listing, 725 Mae Lane in Roswell.
Update the Lighting
Installing dimmer switches on light fixtures is a must. This helps to set the mood throughout the day, either calm for lounging or bright when getting your daily tasks accomplished. It also helps save energy! If necessary, purchasing new light fixtures is crucial since they often help modernize the look and feel of the space.
Example: These trendy light fixtures in the kitchen and dining area of our previous listing, 6095 Richwood Circle in Roswell.
Rejuvenate Your Shower
Even if you just have tiles on one side of the shower and paint on the other, new tiles can really illuminate the space and are often inexpensive depending on where you buy them. Another idea to brighten the shower is adding frameless glass doors. You can even purchase the frameless shower door by itself, instead of the entire glass enclosure!
Example: Tiled shower and glass door at our previous listing, 2006 Forte Lane in Alpharetta.
Add Some Flair
It’s vital to add some personality to your space that speaks to you and other members of your household. Recently, Robin and Eric Martin visited the Kohler Design Center in Kohler, Wisconsin and saw this fabulous chalkboard on the vent hood (pictured below)! Other ideas are to add fun artwork or antiques with a story, bring a pop of color to the decor or mix and match some different patterns to show off your unique style.
Remodel the Floors
You may think that the “hardwood floor look” is out of your price range, but you can recreate the look at a fraction of the price with laminate flooring! If you have boring, outdated tile in your kitchen, this is a great alternative to expensive hardwoods. You can also replace tile floors in the bathrooms with more modern ones, like the below.
Example: Modern tile floors in the master bathroom of our previous listing, 7005 Seneca Court in Roswell.
