3 CREATIVE WAYS TO REDECORATE YOUR HOME FOR BETTER FUNCTIONALITY

A Productive Home Office
Working from home requires your space to operate for personal and professional life. One of the best things you can do to be productive on the job is to create a distinct office in your home. By doing this, you avoid distractions and keep your professional items separate and organized, which maximizes productivity.
Create a home office in a spare bedroom, or set aside a corner of a room for work. Some people even convert a walk-in closet into a workspace. You can decorate the office to match your unique style to motivate yourself during work. Display trinkets from traveling adventures and pictures of family and friends.
Invest in comfortable furniture. If you have a damaged couch or chair that you want to use, contact a furniture upholstery service. They can bring new life into an older piece of furniture. Before you meet with companies for a quote, investigate them online. Customer reviews are a fantastic way to get an idea of client satisfaction, so search for “furniture upholsterers near you” and start reading. The cost depends on the type of furniture and other factors, such as the size, fabric, and custom designs. For example, a large couch can cost between $1,200 and $3,500. Before committing to a company and price, you want to be confident that you have done thorough research.
An Organized Playroom
Safety and functionality are especially vital in a home with children. If you have candles or other breakable items on display, hang sturdy shelves on the wall to display your pieces. This way, little hands cannot break your stuff.
Stage your furniture for a smooth flow from one room into another. Anchor as much as you can, such as high bookshelves, dressers, and entertainment centers. One report states that 69.9% of tipping accidents occur around children under six years old; anchoring helps prevent youngsters from getting hurt.
If your home simply is not meeting your kid’s needs, you may need to find a new living space. Are you deciding to rent? Try to find a home or apartment with amenities for your children, such as a park or pool nearby. If you plan to purchase a new home, research the housing market in your target area before booking tours. This provides a good idea of what you can afford and resale value down the road.
A More Attractive Kitchen
If you love nothing more than playing host, then your kitchen is going to be the focus when redecorating. Give the room a facelift by adding a backsplash. This small change can make a big impact. If your budget is tight, opt for a peel-and-stick option.
An island is another great addition; not only does it provide countertop space, but it also acts as a gathering spot for guests during a party. Purchase an island cart online, or speak to a contractor about building a custom design.
Redecorating your home to better fit your needs can be done with nearly any budget. A few modifications can transform your home from frustrating to fabulous and functional.
