Maximize Your Holiday Fun With Five Easy DIY Projects!
Are you eager to take on some big DIY projects this year? If so, you are in the right place. From remodeling the kitchen to adding space to your home, there are plenty of projects that can transform your living space. 2021 is the perfect time to tackle your home improvement plans, especially if you have been putting them off for a while.
First of all, if you’re tackling remodeling the kitchen in 2021, you will have to create a plan. Choose the appliances, cabinets, flooring, and countertops, and decide what kind of light fixtures, sink and faucet you want. A kitchen remodel can take a while, so it is important to plan a schedule in order to make the space as usable as possible. Start with demolition and removal of items that you won’t be reusing. Rebuild the footprint of the room, add the cabinets and new appliances, and then paint and install backsplash and light fixtures.
Adding an additional room to your house is also a great way to spruce up the living space. Such a project would need an extensive planning, as permits will be required. Start by creating the foundation with concrete and framing the walls, installing exterior siding, roof and windows. Then go on and work on the interior, adding sheetrock, lights, ceiling fans and paint, completing it with your choice of flooring.
Another source of usable space often not being used to its potential is the basement. The steps to converting it into a family room or weight room, will involve waterproofing the walls and existing or new concrete floor, adding electrical wiring and heating, and sheetrock, lights, paint and flooring.
Finally, let’s not forget about giving the exterior of the house a curb appeal boost. The prep and painting of the house can be done during warmer months, and then add shutters and window boxes to make it look prettier. Change up the front door and paint or treat the front concrete walkway or wood deck.
When it comes to landscaping, plan it during the spring-fall seasons, starting with an underground sprinkler system. Roll out sod or plant grass seed and add trees, plants and flowers that will create a colorful display throughout the seasons.
No matter what project you choose to start on first, it is evident that 2021 is a great time to tackle some big DIY projects and transform your living space once and for all. Investing some time, money and effort into these projects will surely increase the value and enjoyability of your home. With a special plan, smart budgeting and a bit of research, you are capable of making these projects become reality.
