Consider
the following tips from the remodeling experts at Tarkett
before embarking upon your next remodeling
project.
First,
make a plan. Have a desired budget in mind and consider
your tastes, lifestyle and end goals of either selling or
staying in place. If you are remodeling to sell, you
might prefer neutrals and universal design elements.
Homeowners who chose to remodel and stay in their homes
have the freedom to reflect on their own personal
preferences and have fun with design and
color.
Launch
your project by choosing the perfect surface cover.
Traditional styles of wood and brick add warmth to the
home, and tile and stone incorporate elegance for
contemporary tastes. It seems Linoleum is also making a
come back because of its vibrant color palate and
sustainability considered by the environmentally
conscious consumer. The look of wood, brick, tile and
stone can be achieved with Nafco by Tarkett PermaStone,
an easy to maintain, durable and economical product.
Since flooring is the base of the home and will determine
your interior design path it is important to consider all
options before making any final decisions.
Once
the flooring has been determined, it is time to decide if
the bathroom or kitchen make-over takes priority. Since
the kitchen is the Grand Central Station of the home, it
tends to be one of the most invasive projects, so it is
best to start here when making major changes. The most
popular updates for the kitchen, aside from flooring, are
granite counter tops and new cabinets. Depending on
budget, cabinets can be custom built or existing wood can
be painted for a lighter, more inspired look. Just adding
new cabinet doors and hardware can change the entire look
of the room and add value to the home. However, once the
cabinets, countertops and floors are given a new look,
homeowners tend to want new faucets and sinks as well, so
keep this in mind when developing a budget.
As
the remodeling process continues, bathrooms are the next
project that can update your home. Recent trends have
shown that people are spending a large amount of their
remodeling dollars on the master bathroom. Extra luxuries
such as waterfall showerheads and slate walls are showing
up in older homes and making a statement for resale
purposes. Enlarging shower and bathing spaces is a great
feature for personal pampering and successfully appealing
to potential buyers. Updating fixtures and adding sink
vessels to create an elegant and stylish bathroom also
increase the value of the remodel project.
Studies
reflect that the savvy home owner has realized the value
added to the home through remodeling as profits continue
to rise. Choosing the right projects along with quality
products ensure investment dollars will continue to work
for you throughout the life cycle of your
home.
