4 Ways To Make Your Old Home Look New Again

Do you feel your home could use a bit of sprucing up? Does it feel like it’s never clean enough or is going out of style? Do your kids prefer going over to their friend’s houses rather than inviting them over? Well, have I got a treat for you! I have made a list of 4 thing you can do to bring back life into your home with the help of My Uncle Gus Handyman Service. They operate within the state of Austin, Texas and offer a range of services with great deals. So, let’s begin, shall we?

1. Paint

Let’s start at the basics! How does a new coat of paint sound? The color of your walls says a lot about the people living among them and sends out a very welcoming and cozy vibe. Employ new colors to your walls to brighten up the space you’re living in. Here’re a few colors you should consider to get the new modern look you want.

2. Lights

The only way people are going to see the new coat of paint throughout the house is through good lighting to complement it. Find the right kind of lights to go with your new paint scheme.White lights tend to be sharp and blow out the color of wall paint but may look good with certain colors.Yellow lights give a subtle undertone and are gentle to be under too but may not get some paints to look their best. Here you might need to put in some effort to find the right combinations. This video might help.

3. New Furniture

Whoa, hear me out!You don’t need to go crazy and throw out all your furniture to have a better looking home.You just need to make a few adjustments. How does IKEA sound? Not only do they have well priced furniture, they have the type of things you need to spruce up your home. You don’t need to buy a dining table complete with cutlery, just a few things like new fixtures, maybe tiny tables or even sheets. And I know, all the assembly may make you not want to go there but that’s what Uncle Gus is for.

4. Bigger Scale Improvements

Now if you have the time and the budget and want more drastic improvements around the house, change up most of what’s been there since you’ve owned the place. I’m talking about tiles to change the old designs. Maybe even get new toilets and sinks in the bathrooms and take out that old bathtub that takes up so much space. Take down that wall that makes the room look smaller and blocks light. Open up the room so you and your family aren’t separated by a literal wall. Adding windows helps bring in natural lighting and you don’t need to waste power during the day that way either. Another big improvement you could do is just get a patio made for the garden that the entire family can enjoy in this season. Where your kids can hang out with their friends and you can host small gatherings too.

In the end, just make sure to step back and see if everything fits well together. If it doesn’t, stop, and plan again.
