Hi Jason, I'm so glad you asked me to write a guest post for you! I've been interested in homes and what to look for in a home since I was about ten. I grew up in Northern Virginia in the 80s and my parents always shared what they liked/didn't like about a home - most of it made sense. In fact, I helped select our home when I was 12. As an adult, I read interior design books and have written several articles on kitchen and bathroom remodels. So here we go!
Paint is one of the easiest way to transform the look of a room. If you want to make a big impact in a room, try adding a bold color to just one wall for maximum impact. You can also try a painting technique on that wall such as stenciling, venetian plaster or marbling.
Pull Together A Theme - For a different look, try to replicate a favorite Hawaiian or tropical vacation you've enjoyed. Start with a bamboo headboard and plan on an island color scheme with bold prints. You can use plenty of plants to recreate the lush outdoors. Stick with natural fabrics and add a quality potpourri to remind you of your heaven on earth. A final touch would be naturally woven wood blinds. You will amaze yourself with the atmosphere you can create.
Budget: It is important that you plan a budget before shopping for modular kitchen furniture as it is available in a huge range of prices. There are many models that bring together functionality and beauty.
When choosing one of the small kitchen designs think of color and all about lampshades company. You want to choose a paint color that will make your small kitchen appear larger. A good rule of thumb is to paint your kitchen lighter to make it look and feel bigger. You may choose to add a skylight in your kitchen to add a lot of brightness to your kitchen.
Does the paintwork look neglected? If it does, what would a prospective buyer think of the rest of the house? Paint the window frames, even if only the ones at eye level, and of course paint the front door. Choose a strong, rich colour. Dark blues or greens give an impression of solidity, bright yellow or orange may scare buyers away.
