Plan for Those 2019 Home Updates

As 2018 comes to a close, there are lots of great things to reflect on, and there are lots of great things to look forward to in 2019. A lot of people spend the holidays tucked away indoors, especially if they live in a colder part of the country. This extra time inside can often lead to new ideas about what to change and what to improve with the house. Making a plan this holiday season for home improvements for 2019 is a great idea! All great projects start with an in-depth plan, and there is truly no better time to do that. While there are lot of new ways and ideas for how to change your bedroom or update your kitchen a few ideas that could potentially make your home stand out in 2019 include: updating the bathroom and doing some landscaping.

Bathrooms are usually the last thing people remember when it comes to updating the home. If they are done well however, they can end up being one of the coolest parts of the whole house. Most bathrooms are usually a boring white or grey color, so the first place to start is by choosing a new color to paint the walls. Our recommendation is using something that is still fairly neutral, but can provide a touch of color and originality that was missing before. A dark blue or light yellow work really well bathrooms, and if you are feeling even more adventurous, you can do a combination of colors! After that, an essential replacement is getting that old shower head updated. Most showers have low water pressure or the water comes out disproportionately and it is not a steady and even stream. Go to Lowes and invest in an awesome shower head and really treat yourself! If you are feeling like really going the extra mile, you can install a rainfall showerhead. These provide the best streams and feel great, especially when you have strong water pressure.

Since it is winter, nothing is growing right now, so it actually can be a great time to do some landscaping and start paving the plan for that 2019 garden. A couple things to add here include a small garden box, and a water feature for your yard. Garden boxes are in style right now, as it fits the healthy and hipster-y lifestyle that a lot of people are coveting. And think, how awesome would it be to fill your dinner table with some fresh tomatoes and fresh herbs! Getting the wood and choosing a spot in your yard are easy beginner steps to get things ready for the spring planting! A water feature is also a great addition to the yard, as it can provide peaceful noises along with looking great! You can even put it close to the garden box you are building and made it a fun and interesting section of your yard! Get the plans in place right now for how you want to improve your home for 2019, and even take some small steps this holiday break to get started!
