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.

Neither too big or too small, we love the kitchen in the above image as it presents a nice balance in terms of layout. This kitchen has plenty of storage and an island that allows for shorter movements between various sections of the kitchen.

One of the most accessible projects to transform your home is to change the wall covering. When discussing wall covering materials and techniques, most people will first think about paint, forgetting that there are plenty of other options. 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.

As far as interior design goes, there are two schools of thought when it comes to white walls. Some love the way their seemingly timeless shade enhances and brightens a room, while others find them rather boring, uninviting even. A clever way to reconcile these opposites is to add texture. Rather than simply painting your walls white, opt for a cladding that'll add volume, patterns, and elegance to any space within your home, like a white brick.
