Interior

First things first, let’s take a look at the interior design of your home. How do things look on the inside? Good interior design is crucial if you want a good looking home. You can’t get away with peeling wallpaper and ugly carpet. Make sure all the rooms are gorgeously designed and look near perfect. Lucky for you, I’ve got some excellent advice to give you when it comes to improving the interior design.

Walls

The walls are a very important part of interior design. If your walls are looking horrible, then the whole room will suffer. It’s vital that you pay close attention to how all the walls look in your home. If you’re putting wallpaper on them, make sure it’s crisp and looks beautiful. You don’t want to end up with dirty and stained wallpaper. If you’ve painted your walls, you have to ensure that the paint is still looking good. Any chipped areas should be redone and fixed ASAP. For rooms like the bathroom and kitchen, you may opt for tiles on the walls. Again, ensure these look nice and aren’t filthy or outdated.

Floor

Then, turn your attention to the floor in your home. There are many flooring options out there; you have to pick one for your home. Different rooms may be best suited to different flooring. For example, no one will have carpet in the kitchen, it doesn’t work. But, carpet is a great option if you want to create a cosy living room or bedroom. Laminate flooring is always a good option; it’s classy yet has a modern edge to it. Perfect for hallways, dining rooms and any room bar the bathroom. For the bathroom, you’re going to be looking at tiles. Ensure that the tiles on the floor match any tiles you have on the walls. It’s essential that things match in your home.

Ceiling

It may surprise you, but the ceiling is a massive part of every room. It’s something I see neglected all the time. No one seems to spend a lot of time on the way ceilings look. A bad or boring ceiling will go largely unnoticed. You rarely walk into a room and think wow the ceiling is rubbish in here. But, when you walk into a room with a nice ceiling, you notice it instantly. It brings everything, in the room, to life. The things to think about here are the colour and lights. Make sure your ceiling is a nice colour and matches the rest of the room. And, try and get some fancy light fixtures to jazz up the place.

Exterior

It’s not enough to get your interior looking great; you also have to focus on the exterior. The outside of your house will be the thing that people see the most. There’s such an emphasis on interior design these days; people forget about the exterior design too. You must do all that you can to ensure that your property looks great, inside and out. Here are a few things you can do he the exterior, to get it looking amazing:

Landscaping

Landscaping is one of the best things you can to do improve how your property looks. Find an experienced landscaper, to completely revitalise things. They can transform the way the front and back of your house looks. A landscaper will deal with things like the driveway and front/back garden. They can put patio down and trim the trees and bushes so everything looks neater and better. Of course, they won’t do anything to the actual look of your house, but what they do will make a difference. The exterior of your property extends past your front door; everyone knows that. You must have a beautiful garden and driveway too.

Paintwork

Next, turn your attention to your house itself. This is one of the easiest and best things you can do for it, regarding appearance. Over the years, many things will contribute to the downfall of your paint job. When you first moved into your home, it looked fresh and had a lovely paint job on the outer walls. But, weather and dirt have turned wonderful paint into a horrible looking mess. If you look at a lot of houses, you’ll notice the paintwork isn’t that great. There’ll be loads of dirt on the sides and it will be chipped in some places. The solution to this is simple; you just have to reapply some paint. Get down to your local DIY store and pick up a few new buckets. Or, get a professional round to take care of the work for you. You can paint your house the same colour as before or go for something new. Who knows, you may find that a new colour scheme will make your house look even more beautiful.

Windows

Your windows are an essential part of the way your property looks. You may not realise this, but they play a huge role. For starters, clean windows are much more attractive than dirty ones. No one likes looking at a house and seeing grimy windows. Get them cleaned and you’re already in a better position. Secondly, think about the window fixtures. If they’re wooden, you may find that they rot and look horrible over time. So, ensure that your window fixtures are made of quality stuff and look brilliant.

 

And there you have it, these are some things you should do to the outside of your home. If you follow my tips, I promise your property will look amazing. Don’t forget to follow the interior design advice too! Combine both sets of tips and you’ll have a home that turns heads and makes people green with envy.
