Renovate your existing home or move into a new home?

November 5, 2021 by Annie

If you’re currently tossing up between renovating your existing home to turn it into your dream home or searching for the perfect home to move into, you’ve come to the right place. Simply continue reading to discover how to renovate your existing home as well as how to move into a brand new home that ticks all of the right boxes.

Invest in a self storage unit:

If you want to renovate your current home and don’t want to damage your expensive furniture or art, it’s well worth investing in a handy self storage unit which you’ll be able to keep your precious items in. After all, the last thing that you want to do is to get paint splotches on your antique family heirlooms. Alternatively if you want to move into a new home and want to stage your home to sell it, you may want to place excess items in a self storage unit, such as a unit at Now Storage self storage, in order to ensure that your staged home doesn’t look cluttered. Ideally, there should be enough spare space in your home, for potential buyers to imagine themselves moving into your house.

Ensure that your home has an open plan layout:

If your current home features a separate formal dining room and lounge, you may want to talk to a builder about knocking down a wall or two to create a modern, open plan layout that your family and friends will love. Alternatively, if you’re currently searching for properties, you may want to opt for a property which already offers a large, spacious open plan layout that will allow you to entertain your house guests with ease. For example, you’ll be able to talk to your guests who are in your lounge, while you’re preparing food in your kitchen.

Think about ensuring that your chosen home has enough storage space:

In order to ensure that your home is fully functional, it’s a great idea to ensure that your chosen home has enough storage space. For example, if your kitchen lacks storage space in your current home, you may want to create a butler’s pantry or a kitchen island with hidden cupboards, which will solve your storage issues. Alternatively, if you are leaning towards purchasing another home, you may want to opt to purchase a home which has large storage units as well as a basement or attic, where you’ll be able to store bulky items.

Think about whether your outdoor space is too high maintenance:

For example if you have a large grassy area, you may want to turn part of it into a deck or courtyard, which requires far less maintenance. If you purchase a new home, make sure that your outdoor area isn’t too big for your needs.

In conclusion:

So regardless of whether you have your sights set on renovating your current home to update it and to ensure that it meets your current and future needs, or you’re more set on the idea of purchasing a new home, it’s well worth remembering the handy tips that have been listed above.

 

About Me

Hi! I'm Annie and I have 3 kids (all in their teens - yikes!). My mommy blog isn't all about lunches and DIY - it's also about humour. Like how my kids make fun of my texts as if I don't know how to use emojis (I DO!). Now that I have a bit more time - since my kids don't want to hang out with me (teenagers), I have taken up blogging.
