Four Easy Ways To Improve Your Home
Tuesday, June 02, 2015
Improvements to your home can be expensive. They can be tedious
and tiring. Do they have to be? No, of course not. There are lots of ways to
improve your home without breaking the bank or your back. Some will not even
require a lot of work, and other can be a whole world of fun. You can even
improve your family's lifestyle with these easy solutions.
● Change Your Water
Supply
Have you read the news lately? It turns out that water is bad
for your health. Water contains fluoride that is a chemical commonly found in
brands of toothpaste. However, it is also extremely toxic and has been related
to low IQ scores in children. How do you change your water supply? Well, you
could consider hiring a water filter and filling it with bottled water. This is
quite expensive, so another option is just to buy supplies of bottled water.
Another option is to install a filtered water tap in your kitchen. It will only
cost you once, and you can ensure your family has clean, chemical free water to
drink. You can find out more about this option online.
●● Repaint Your
Rooms
We know that people do not generally look at their houses rooms
and think, perfect. Instead, we are all thinking of changes we can make in our
head whether moving furniture or buying new technology. But there is a cheaper
more fun way. You can redecorate. Choose the colours you want and set to work.
Obviously, if you are thinking about resale anytime soon, we do not advise
anything too drastic. But ultimately it is your decision. If you want a bright
fluorescent purple room or, more likely, your daughter does, than why not? You
only live once after all.
●●● Change Your Energy
Plan
In most cases, the future's bright. Yet one factor we still need
to fix is the world's energy consumption. So why not start doing your part now?
Switch to those energy saving lightbulbs now. They do take a little while longer
to light fully but just think, you are helping the planet. Get a recycling plan
in order and get rid of that that junk in the garage and attic. You may even
find you can sell some of your old things on Ebay and make some money to put
towards your home improvement. You could also think about switching from gas
power to electricity. It is more expensive but it is also more efficient and you
will have a greener home.
●●●● Fix the Garden
What do your neighbours see more than anything? Your garden. If
you have eyes giving your front yard constant disapproving looks then here is
how to fix it. First, mow the lawn as neatly as you can. A properly mowed lawn
goes a long way to making your home look stylish and tidy. Second, trim any
overhanging trees or hedges. Third, repaint any fences or sheds and repair
anything that is broken. Finally, look for something unique to add to the ensemble like a porch
swing. Do these things and you will have a garden to be admired.
These are changes to your home that will not cost a fortune. We
hope you enjoy how new and fresh your house now feels. Happy Tuesday everyone!
