3 MUST HAVE FIXTURES TO ELEVATE YOUR HOME
Enhancing your home and making it look more functional takes time and effort. Apart from choosing a sofa, you can do many things, but the goal is to make these additions count in your dwelling. Comfort, style, and functionality can converge to create a haven you will love to return to each day. As of last year, 63% of homeowners lived in their own houses, meaning more than half of households are occupied by property owners, giving them the room to enhance their space to reflect their personality. If that’s you, you have the right to add several fixtures to your home than if you rented. Here are a few ways to elevate your home.
Stylish Lighting Fixtures
These are the unsung heroes of interior design. They illuminate your space and serve as visually appealing decor elements. The right lighting fixture can instantly transform your home and enhance your space’s ambiance. Choosing the right fixture can also attest to your sense of style and personality. For example, chandeliers will work best if you love luxury and elegance. You will find modern or classic options that complement your space and identify with your lifestyle. Pendant lighting fixtures incorporate sophistication and creativity into your home. These are usually excellent for your kitchen island or the foyer. Pendant lighting comes in various shapes and sizes, so it’s easy to be creative to see what works best for your home. Wall-mounted sconces are usually warm, making them ideal for creating a welcoming atmosphere. It’s best to use them for your living rooms and bedrooms. Before selecting any stylish light features, remember to consider certain things first. Wattage limits and the bulb type must be on top of your list. Fluorescent, incandescent, LED, and halogen are a few examples. Each type has pros and cons, so choose wisely.
Awnings For Your Outdoor Space
These can be game-changers in your quest to enhance your outdoor areas. Awnings add aesthetic charm, practicality, and functionality to your yard or garden. If you love to spend time in the open, it would be best to transform your outdoors and make it worth spending time there. Without awnings, you may struggle with heat, rain, and other weather vagaries that hinder you from enjoying your outdoor area. Having a patio, deck, or pergola in your outdoor area is even better. You must have ample aerial room before installing an awning outside your home. Obstructions like nearby trees may prevent the awning from extending fully. Imagine lounging with a good book in your yard only for your awning not to extend to its full length to protect you from the scorching sun or heavy rain. You will need professional and experienced installers for your awning. Did you know that your awning can regulate your indoor temperatures? You may not need to use your air conditioning so much by blocking direct sunlight on one side of the house.
Modern Cabinet Hardware
The little things can make the most significant difference in your home. Your home’s cabinet hardware is an example of this. New cabinet hardware breathes new life into your bathroom or kitchen. It is a simple, cost-effective way to elevate your home’s internal look. All you need to do is replace the knobs, pulls, handles, and bars. With a little search, you will find sleek designs that transform your kitchen and bathroom into appealing spaces.
Don’t be afraid to mix and match hardware styles if you prefer. This option creates a unique look for your home and, more importantly, can match every theme. For example, a vintage and contemporary hardware mix will suit a renovated Victorian-style home. You might need an interior designer to help you achieve a visually pleasing look for these areas. No matter the degree of mix, the goal is to have a well-coordinated look to elevate your home.
