Did you know there are hacks for remodeling your home as well? From using a portable storage container for holding items to tearing down a wall to open up the floor plan, here are six hacks you’ll want to consider implementing the next time you remodel your home.
- Paint Linoleum or Vinyl Flooring
Want to give your bathroom or kitchen flooring a facelift, but don’t want to blow your budget? If the flooring is made from linoleum or vinyl, you can give it an update by painting it the color of your choice. Or, you can seal it to protect it and keep it clean. No need for new tile!
- Use a Portable Storage Container to Hold Items
Want an easy way to keep items out of the way when you’re remodeling? A portable storage container is the easiest hack on this list. Simply contact a storage container company for a quote, have the container delivered to your location, pack it up at your convenience and keep it on site or at a facility for as long as you need. Once you’re done, unpack and give the company a call to have it picked up again.
- Use Decals to Update the Look of a Room
You can make any room look a little more open and upscale with the use of decals and mirrored accents. In the kitchen, for example, you can add a beautiful backsplash that you simply peel and stick. Or, you can add an inspirational quote or verse on the wall with a script decal.
- Swap Out Door or Cabinet Hardware
A small, inexpensive way to update the look of your kitchen or bathroom cabinets is to swap out the hardware. You can get new drawer pulls and knobs for a few dollars each at a home improvement store and installing them is as simple as using a screwdriver.
- Tear Down a Wall (or Portion of a Wall) to Open Up a Space
Unhappy with your floor plan or the confined feel of your home? Consider opening up the space or adding more light to dark rooms by tearing down a wall (or at least a portion of it). This is a little more involved than other items on this list, but you’ll refresh and appreciate your home.
- Add Mirrors to Closet or Bathroom Doors
You can make a closet or room appear larger than it is by adding a large mirror to a door or wall. Many of these mirrors hang easily over a door, so they’re easy to install. Or you can place them on the wall itself. Either way, the room will open up and feel bigger.
If you’re remodeling your home, a portable storage container can keep your items safely secured until you’re finished. Contact SAM (Store & Move) at 972-438-2726 for a quote today.
