Bringing Your Home Back To It's Former Glory
If you have just moved into a new property and it is looking a bit worse for wear you might need to clean it up a bit and make it look brand new. Or if you have lived in the property for several years and it is just looking a bit tired and dreary, why not look into modernizing it a little bit.
Here are two top things you can do to give your house some life.
Walls
Depending on what is covering the walls now will depend on how much time and effort it will take you to give them a makeover. If they have wallpaper, you will need to spend a little extra time getting the wallpaper off using a special solution. Alternatively, you could use steam or water. A wallpaper remover tool will make the job seem a little speedier than doing it all by hand.
To remove old paint you will need to get some paint stripper and apply it to the walls that you want to strip. Be careful this can be extremely toxic and harmful so make sure the windows are open at all times while using it. If your home is having a problem with mold and damp you can get a special sealer that you apply to the bare wall before you then redecorate.
You can do both these jobs yourself or if you don’t want to or you simply aren’t able to then you can call in the help of professional decorators to do it for you. They can strip the walls and reapply wallpaper or they can paint whichever one you choose.
To really brighten up the walls and make them stand out you could have a feature wall within the home. This draws attention to the walls and can turn a dark depressing room into a wonderfully bright room that everyone wants to be in.
Flooring
In the floors are looking tired and in need of a redo then this is potentially because floors take an absolute beating daily. Whether you have hard flooring or carpets they can both get damaged and worn through general use. Walking on them regularly and potentially spilling food or drink on them can leave them damaged and calling out for some help and repairs.
Hard flooring is easier to manage than carpet as if things get spilled then they can just be swept and mopped to get rid of it. Carpets can stain and need to be regularly shampooed to keep them in the best condition. If you have carpet and want to remove this for hard flooring then that is a great idea.
There are companies out there who can help you lay down brand new hard flooring and help you decide which one will go best in your home. If you already have hard flooring and it needs a revamp then Buff & Coat is the company to go for, they can make old, tired hard flooring look brand new. You will be amazed at the transformation.
We hope these two ideas are useful and help you realize that you don’t need to revamp the whole house to make a difference. Just small updates to the walls and floors can make the world of difference.
