1. Contrasting Kitchen Island
You can never have enough counter space! Does your home already have an island? A coat of paint in a contrasting color is all you need for this update! Check out this great post on how to paint kitchen cabinets. Don't have an island? You can find many affordable options to add this much desired amenity to your home or if you're handy make your own island! You can also repurpose an old dresser or cabinet into an island. The possibilities are endless!
2. Beige
Gray is a trendy and great neutral paint color. However, if gray is too dim for you try a palette of beige-based neutrals to warm up your home. We especially love Sherwin Williams’ color of the year, Poised Taupe SW 6039. Painting is the easiest and least expensive way to update your home.
Instead of purchasing a pre-manufactured vanity from a big box store, get crafty by using a chests of drawers, old file cabinets or vintage consoles to make a bathroom vanity.
Love this vanity? See how it was made.
While you do need a place to store printers and file cabinets Wi-Fi allows homeowners to work anyplace within the home, there’s less of a need for a home office. Small work spaces to tackle quick tasks is all most homeowners need. Check out how you can make this one yourself!
5. Add a "Shedquarters" to the Backyard
The term ‘shedquarters’ is used to describe a small structure on the property which is most commonly utilized for home-based businesses. This trend came from the tiny house movement and is growing in popularity. This separate structure could be used for more than just office space, think party room or small guest quarters. Couldn't we all use a little more space without the cost of an expensive home renovation or addition?
