But let us tell you a secret –home renovation doesn’t have to be grand and expensive. In fact, you can actually increase the value of your home by transforming it yourself!

While many of us can be tempted by merely redecorating our interiors, we can actually start from the outside of our home. The parts that most people see when they pass by, the first thing visitors notice before they come in, and the area that holds outdoor bonding with the family. ERA broker Kristin Willens once said, “Don’t underestimate the power of a front door. People make up their minds in the first seven seconds of entering a house.” The front typically creates any visitor’s first impression, and is the ultimate and primary transition of space of your home. Ramp up your front area by repainting your door, replacing your porch light with differently colored or shaped lights, replacing your door mat, and doing an overall cleaning.

We can all agree that a front lawn covered with unmaintained bushes and overgrown grass can be a little cringey, or somehow makes us vaguely uncomfortable. So if you’re looking into transforming your home, you may start with trimming and edging your lawn grass, bushes, setting up a colourful garden to create an overall feeling of kempt-ness, making your home a lot more enticing.

Your home office doesn’t have to be grand and all. You don’t need an extra space either to create your own office nook. Maximize the space that you have at home and let your imagination and creativity do its wonders.  The most popular modern home office designs just need to be small and efficient. Turn a corner of your living room area into a home office by building or attaching a cabinet or shelving storage right to the wall. Here, you’ll have a cozy minimalist office that is easily accessible as it sits right next to your living room, kitchen, and even the front door.

The bright, airy, practical, and modern design of the Scandinavian-styled home office definitely makes a real efficient and functional office space. Scandinavian is characterized by functionality and minimalism, matched with neutral colors. Featuring white walls, wood accents, and light pastel palettes, your minimalist home office will surely stand out in a pretty aesthetic way.
