Home renovation could be the ultimate answer to this important question. Moving to a new house or building a new house may prove to be quite costly. It is considered a very good option for people who wish to create their own dream homes from the existing ones they have. Renovating is easy when done using a couple of simple tricks. Renovation requires you to treat each space independently since no space needs the same attention as the next. The living room Use multi-functional furniture such as a coffee table with drawers to keep video games and magazines. This use of hidden space will maximize on the available space. Create huge windows or use light tubes to let in natural light to make the room look more spacious and cosy. Hang your Tv on a flexible arm to avoid using a stand. The kitchen The secret to kitchen space is using cupboards and shelves in order to free floor working space. Install shelves on your walls and use a light color on them to create an illusion of space. Also, install shelves on the insides of your cupboards instead of storing things on the counter. Keep a mobile caddie with cleaning supplies which can be moved to any room during cleaning instead of storing supplies everywhere. The bedroom In the kids' room beds can be inbuilt on the walls to create more playing space on the floor. In other bedrooms, use an appropriate bed size that will not cover the whole bedroom space. Maximize on the use of functional closets that have drawers, shelves, hanging space and shoe racks. The home office/study Use a wall filing system to keep documents. Shred all unnecessary papers as soon as possible to reduce clutter. Get a table that can be shared by a number of people as working space. The bathroom and laundry room In the laundry room, use cabinets for detergents, counters for folding clothes and get a hanging area for laundered clothes. In the bathroom use shelves for toiletries, baskets for clothes and shoes and mirrors to make light reflect on surfaces. The outdoors The outdoor of your home also needs attention during renovation. Planting lots of plants and flowers, preferably of different types will make your house more attractive from outside. In all these important spaces the use of hidden space plays a key role in creating living space in your home. The use of bright colors and huge windows or light tubes on the roof for natural light enhances the illusion of a big space. Painting your walls or getting new wallpaper and getting new curtains to match the setting will make your home look much newer. Get decorative lanterns and lampshades to add an edge to the rooms. Rearranging your furniture will create a new feel to the living room and will help save on buying new furniture. Wall hangings such as photos and paintings are a good choice for improving the look of your home. You need not be an expert in home renovation to get your own dream house and be happy with it.
