Is Your Home Outdated? - Change These 4 Simple Things!

Do you feel embarrassed showing guests the inside of your home? Or, do you plan to sell your home in the near future? If you answered yes to either or both of these questions, it may be a good time for you to renovate your home!

Here are a few things that make a home look tacky:

Old Carpets

Carpets, specially coloured and neon ones, can really make a home seem dull and old-fashioned. If you have carpets in any of your rooms, especially in a bathroom, make sure you replace them.

You still don’t have to limit your floor type to laminate, hardwood, stone or tile. If you want carpets in specific places in the house, opt for neutral tones in materials like wool or bamboo. Alternatively, you can purchase stair runners and rugs to make your home look and feel cosier.

Too Much Wood

If you don’t live in the woods, you do not need your kitchen to look like a cabin. If you have a lot of wood in all your rooms, such as kitchen surfaces, kitchen cabinets, headboards, bookshelves, bathroom cabinets, floors, etc., it can make your house seem very old-fashioned.

An affordable solution to make your home look modern is laminate surface finishes. You can use a quality gloss laminate surface, such as MelaWood, for cabinets, in-built-cupboards, furniture and more.

Shabby, Old Furniture

It’s time to get rid of cosy, bulky couches, matching loveseats and grand dining room tables. Not that modern homes are less spacious and more practical, you should invest in furniture that will make your home look neat, clean and functional.

Outdated Balustrades
If you have blistering, damaged or broken balustrades, replace them with a modern stainless steel balustrades. You can also purchase balustrades that have been coated with cutting-edge stainless steel coating technology.
