Design and home decor10 renovation projects to transform your home
“Everywhere is good; at home, it’s better,” says a Czech proverb. Unfortunately, some readers may believe that this sentence doesn’t apply to them because their current abode doesn’t meet their needs. Luckily, apart from a few extreme cases where a home isn’t able to be restored, there are usually possible solutions to create a welcoming and comfortable interior that suits you perfectly.
Some renovations may be for aesthetic purposes, while others are practical. In either case, it’s important to prioritize any work that will help to meet the needs of home occupants in order to improve the quality of life of all.
So, if you feel the current state of your home doesn’t suit you, why not decide that your big project for 2020 will be to make transformations, to create a space that will make you believe “at home, it’s better.” In this article, we’ll present different examples of renovation projects, including options for all budgets.

Paint is a versatile product while being relatively accessible in terms of how it is applied and is generally inexpensive. On the other hand, some may consider alternative options such as wallpaper, decorative panels, stone or wood, as in the example presented in the image above.
