Plan Ahead: Remodeling to Do Before Next Year’s Holidays

If you are like most homeowners, the holidays tend to sneak up on you! With all the planning of menus and holiday guest lists, those home updates you had planned to do before your next holiday gathering probably took a back seat. Although it may be too late for pre-holiday completion, now is the perfect time to plan and implement home improvement projects, including kitchen remodeling in Milwaukee, to get your home ready for next year’s celebrations.

Replace Outdated Cabinets

Kitchen cabinets take up a lot of space in the kitchen, so cabinets that are old-fashioned and unattractive quickly make your kitchen look dated. There are many modern cabinet styles available to give your kitchen a fresh, new look, or you can stick with a timeless, classic design. The same goes for bathroom vanities. If you have the time and want to save yourself some money, try painting your cabinets and putting on some new hardware to make them stand out.

Add a Backsplash

A quick and easy way to give your kitchen new life is with a tile backsplash. While bright colors and bold patterns have been en vogue, the trends are moving toward tastefully understated backsplashes. These backsplashes add elegance while blending into the background, and will help protect your walls from stains and moisture damage. Ceramic, porcelain, or glass tiles are good material choices because they look great and won’t stain.

Transform a Breakfast Nook

A breakfast nook can become wasted space if it isn’t utilized properly, but with careful planning it can be the perfect solution for extra seating at your next holiday gathering. Make the most of your space by using a pedestal table with a round top, which allows for more seating than a square or rectangular table. Use a unique chandelier to add interest to the space, or go for something simpler if your table has a lot of detail. Thermal-lined window treatments will keep out the sun’s hot rays in the summer and protect against cold air in the winter.
