Prepare for New Year with These 4 Home Renovation Ideas

Have you prepared your resolutions for the new year? If home renovation is among those resolutions, most likely you’ve been searching for home building inspirations. On one hand, you may have found many references filled with various interesting inspirations to consider. On the other hand, you may be too overwhelmed with options which hinder you from making decisions. 

You definitely want a home renovation that will give your house an optimal result, from the model, layouts, and designs. To help you with it, here are several recommended ideas that you can apply to your home renovation on the new year!

Change the Room to Open Plan
Home renovation means that you can only utilize the spaces which you already have. If you feel that your land is still not spacious enough, you have to muster your creativity and find new ways to make your house more spacious with the limited space that you currently have. One of the best ways that can be considered is to apply the open plan concept, especially if your rooms before are mostly separated with walls and doors. The open plan concept will help create a more spacious illusion inside your home.

Open plan application also varies. If your dining room is separated from the kitchen with walls, then you can renovate your dining room and kitchen to make them be in one area.  If you still want to separate your dining room and kitchen, you can do so by placing an island table between these rooms. Use light colors to paint the walls, like white or cream for examples. 

Apart from the dining room and kitchen, you can also apply the open plan concept to other rooms, such as the living room and drawing room, or living room and dining room. Therefore, your home interior will feel more roomy, spacious, airy.

Change the Mood with New Wallpaper
Usually, the goal of home renovation is to bring new ambience to the house. The open plan concept can be one of the ways to do this. However, if it’s not possible to do an open plan, then another option for you is to install new wallpaper. 

This option is perfect for those who previously use plain color paint on the walls. Create a new mood instantly with new wallpapers. For those who have installed a wallpaper before, you can change it with new wallpaper that has different colors and design. Make sure that the new wallpaper matches the overall theme of your home renovation so you can maintain the whole home aesthetic. 

Transform the Kitchen with Unique Backsplash
The kitchen area should not be forgotten during the home renovation. Apart from the walls, floors, and cabinets, there is one spot that you shouldn’t miss out on: backsplash. Backsplash is a vertical part installed on your kitchen counters, specifically the area between the upper cabinets and lower cabinets. Backsplash is there to cover your kitchen walls from oil splashes, water, or other grimes. 

With the right backsplash, your kitchen area can appear more “lively” than before. Choosing the right backsplash design actually depends on the theme of your home renovation. For example, if you want to implement an elegant theme to your home renovation, a marble backsplash is one of the best options. 

However, if you prefer vintage or old school themes, then you can install mosaic or retro designs on your backsplash. How about the minimalist theme? Monochrome backsplash in the color of white or light grey can be the perfect choice.

Neutral Wall Colors with Colorful Furniture
Do you want a home renovation with a colorful theme, but you are still unsure to go all out? Try to play around with furniture! For the walls, you can use neutral paint colors like white, cream, or light grey. The touch of colors will be from the furniture or specific ornaments. However, choose only 2-3 color pairs to keep the home aesthetic balanced. 

For example, in your living room, you can paint the walls white. You can also paint the windows frame blue to make it stand out. Pick a matching blue sofa to accentuate the color. Want a colorful room? Place several patterned yellow-blue throw pillows on top of the sofa.
