Winter can be long and cold and can bring on a bad case of cabin fever. You may feel dread when you think of being stuck inside for so many months. However, there are 3 home remodeling projects that you may want to take on that can cure your cabin fever and bring excitement back to being in your home during these winter months. In addition to bring excitement to your life, these projects can also help to increase your home’s value and can possibly lower your utility bills too.

The first home project that will cure those winter blues is adding more style and personality to your kitchen. There is a great amount of time spent in the kitchen, whether it’s to bake those holiday cookies or cook a meal for your extended family, and by giving this room a makeover, you can bring some more joy to the holidays. You do not need to do a complete overhaul of your kitchen in order to change its appearance and make it more beautiful. You may decide to update the countertops or put in brand new appliances. You could add a backsplash or change out the lighting fixtures. Kitchen renovations can also include putting in new flooring or changing the hardware on the cabinetry. Whatever kitchen remodeling project you decide to take on, you will appreciate and notice how much of a difference it has made to your home.

The second home remodeling job you may decide to take on to brighten up your spirit this winter is to enhance the lighting in your home. If you decide to enhance the lighting in your home, there are some money saving options you can take advantage of, including putting in LED-style lights or adding dimmers to allow you to change the lighting and ambiance for different moods. LED-style lights have many benefits, including being long-lasting, durable, more efficient and cost-effective. Every room in your home has lighting, and many people do not often think about how much the lighting can affect the appearance of their rooms. Lighting fixtures can dramatically change the look of a room, whether it’s adding in a chandelier in the dining room, putting in more modern lights in the bathroom or finding something more vintage for the kitchen.

Updating your bathroom into a more luxurious and elegant room is a great way to add beauty and value to your home. You can consider installing a new whirlpool bathtub that you can warm up in and relax, or you may want to update the plumbing with more modern choices. You can choose a completely new color palette for your bathroom with new slip-resistant flooring, beautiful new cabinetry and countertops or you can simply change the hardware or install a new sink. Bathroom remodeling can add great value to your home, and there are numerous remodeling options and ideas you can incorporate into it.
