Making My House A Home

3 Mini Summer Remodeling Projects That Make A Big Impact In Interior Design

by Bruce Burke

If you have decided to tackle a few small remodeling projects this summer, you will be surprised at the difference it can make in how your home functions and looks. Choosing a few areas to focus on can help you narrow down what remodeling supplies you need and whether you will be able to do some of the work yourself or need to hire a contractor. With your plans in place, you can make a list and head to the nearest home improvement store to shop for supplies.

Renovate the kitchen pantry

Unorganized pantries can get out of control fast and can even cost you money if you must toss outdated foods because they get pushed to the back of the pantry. Giving your pantry a makeover requires minimal supplies and can be done in a short period of time.

Paint the shelves in different colors to help you find items easily, such as painting one section green for canned vegetables and another area white for flour, sugar, and other baking needs, etc. Install see-through drawers to organize smaller supplies. Replace any broken or worn shelves.

Upgrade your island bar

If your island bar has been around for decades, it is likely not doing a lot for the aesthetic value of your home. Replacing your island bar with a counter-height table is easy and will give your kitchen an updated look. Install an indoor-outdoor rug under the counter-height table to add a pop of color to the kitchen and for easy clean-up.

Make your entryway inviting

Declutter your entryway by installing cubbies for each family member to keep their supplies organized. If space is tight, install a storage bench along one wall with drawers in place of cubbies for each family member to keep their backpacks, purses, shoes, etc. A cushion-topped storage bench looks aesthetically pleasing and provides ample storage plus a place to sit when putting on shoes.

Add a floor-length mirror to your entryway to make it appear larger. Give your entryway a fresh coat of paint to brighten it up and make guests feel welcome. Choose wall décor with an inspiring quote to encourage all who enter.

Summer is always a great time to do a few remodeling projects to improve the appearance and function of your home. Whether you want to upgrade the kitchen pantry or design a practical and inviting entryway, many home remodeling projects can be done with a minimal time commitment. Whether you plan to do it yourself or hire a contractor, small remodeling projects will make a big impact on your home.
