Best Interior Home Renovations to Complete in the New Year

If you own a home, the chances are that you’ve got a long list of things you want to do to your property. The tasks on there could range from giving the living room a new coat of paint to knocking through walls and completely changing up your space.

It would be great to get them all done and have your home exactly as you want it, but that would be costly and inconvenient (just imagine the noise!). So, take some time to consider your priorities and focus your attention on the areas that you feel are in most need of a shake-up.

Why renovate now?

The new year can provide fresh motivation to get things done. Ticking a big job off your to-do list will make you feel great.

Furthermore, most contractors are likely to be a bit lighter on work during the winter months – particularly on jobs that require outdoor work.

By getting your renovations done in the early part of the year, you’ll be able to make the most of your upgraded home when the weather gets better.

What should you do?

Decluttering

Before you get started, have a clear-out! It may not be the big job you had in mind, but it’s a vital one. Not only will it let you know how much storage you need to include with any upgrades, but it will also enable you to make full use of the space you have available. New possibilities could arise that you couldn’t have envisioned before.

Energy-efficiency upgrades

Energy prices are at an all-time high and it’s not going to get better any time soon. So, it may be worth considering green heating and plumbing systems that could help you save money.

From remote thermostats and new boilers to underfloor heating, integrating new technology could provide a decent return on your investment in the long run.

If you want to go a bit further, you could get solar panels and an air-source heat pump to reduce your impact on the environment.

Painting and decorating

You don’t always need to undertake a big overhaul to bring some freshness to your home. A simple lick of paint can be enough to brighten up your space.

Why not consider incorporating Viva Magenta – the 2023 Pantone Color of the Year? This vivid red shade is sure to provide you with plenty of inspiration for an interior refresh.

Of course, if that’s not to your taste, you can simply add a couple of coats of your existing paint to the wall to breathe new life into your room.

Kitchen update

Few rooms are as important to the home as the kitchen. A remodel can make your everyday life a whole lot easier by creating a space that’s tailored to you and your cookery habits.

There’s also the fact that a kitchen renovation is thought to add about 5-6% to the value of your property.
