Many people who are itching to travel overseas during lockdown are spending their savings on their home instead.
This is a good opportunity to renovate your kitchen or bathroom – the two most popular rooms to get a facelift (as long as COVID restrictions permit it in your area).
Whether you choose to embark on this project now, or after the pandemic has eased, there are many benefits to renovating either room (or both).
5 benefits of renovating your kitchen or bathroom:
1. Add financial value to your home:
If you decide to sell your house in the future, your kitchen and bathroom are the two main rooms that will attract or repel potential buyers. A modern and practical kitchen and bathroom can significantly increase the selling price. People are willing to pay a lot more money if these rooms meet their practical needs, and look good. This is particularly true for kitchens – the heart of the home where families and visitors spend so much time creating memories.
2. A safer environment:
If you’re showering in a mouldy bathroom, you know how off putting that can be. Not only does a home renovation improve ambience, it also eliminates health hazards such as mould. Simple installations, such as slip resistant flooring and proper lighting, can keep your family members safe (especially if you have young children). This is one of the main reasons why people update their bathrooms and kitchens.
3. Feel good:
Did you know your state of mind and physical wellbeing is actually shaped by the spaces you spend a lot of time in (mainly your home)? There’s no shortage of research showing that comfortable and safe surroundings help us to function better. Renovating your bathroom or kitchen also gives you a change of scenery and adds some excitement into your household, without having to move home.
4. Save money on energy bills, while easing the strain on the planet:
More people are looking for ways to live more sustainably, starting with their homes. Conventional kitchens and bathrooms consume a lot of energy, especially if you have a fridge, stove, kettle and dishwasher. Modern renovations incorporate designs and materials that reduce your need for external energy sources in the first place. Effective eco-friendly appliances can be installed so that you use less water and energy, which means lower energy bills.
5. Enhance functionality, especially in the kitchen:
You’re more likely to spend time cooking nourishing food if you have plenty of space and all of your tools are where they need to be. More importantly, a kitchen or bathroom renovation can improve accessibility for anyone in your household who has a disability or needs extra support.
