Class up your bathroom with tile.
It doesn’t matter whether you have a bath surround, half bathroom, or large master bath, tile can make a bathroom look stylish and updated. To make your bathroom look larger, have your tile installed vertically instead of horizontally. For a polished look to your half bath, use a mosaic tile that adds interest to the room. For a creative bathroom project, use different tiles to make a statement. For more ideas (and inspiration!) read through this list of tile trends you’ll love.
Give your room a new paint makeover.
A new paint job is one of the simplest (and most affordable!) ways to give your room a whole new look. Make a change by painting your trim or walls a color that coordinates your existing décor or make a BIG change by painting your room a color that coordinates with your new floor or tile.
Add a backsplash to your kitchen.
A kitchen just doesn’t look finished without a tile backsplash. Add interest to your kitchen with a neutral subway tile or a pop of color (or bling!). The sky is the limit when it comes to options…to find your style of backsplash, head to your local tile store to choose the right backsplash for your kitchen.
Add blinds or window treatments to finish a room.
The perfect blinds or window treatments add a finishing touch to any room, as well as function. Add neutral light-blocking blinds so you can watch TV or a room darkening shade that allows you to get a good night sleep. For a professional look (and to avoid the headaches of measuring and installation), look into custom blinds and curtains perfect for your room.
Install show-stopping flooring.
Very few home projects can make as dramatic of a change as a new floor. A new hardwood, laminate, or luxury vinyl (here’s why to consider a new luxury vinyl floor) can change the look of your room (or rooms) and give your home a whole new style.
If you want to install the flooring yourself, visit your local flooring store for laminate and luxury vinyl plank flooring that can be installed as a DIY project (here are tips on how to get the project done so you have a great-looking floor).
