Every few years, it’s a good idea to spruce up our homes with a substantial renovation project that can bring new life to the living space. One of the rooms which may come in for an overhaul is the kitchen, the one area of the home where you’re most likely to be active and task-oriented rather than leisurely. When renovating the kitchen, it’s important to not just consider aesthetics but also focus on the practicalities, as a picturesque kitchen is not of much benefit if it’s too small for the appliances you need, or if trying to do any household task becomes an inconvenient nuisance. Another key factor in determining what renovation work will get done is the budget that you can afford to set aside for it. A good ballpark figure is to allow for 30% of your home’s value, although if you … [Read more...]

Decluttering the Home
Through our daily lives, we will accumulate many belongings, that is just a basic fact. It's how we deal with those belongings though that decides whether our homes become a dumping ground of sorts for random items that really don't add value to your home. We also buy things like clothes maybe because of fashion trends but often out of necessity too. Without realizing it though, we can make our homes become a cluttered space and this can have an impact on how we view our property and how we enjoy it. Carrying out a declutter project shouldn't be done for the whole entire home at once. This would really overwhelm and would take a long time.
