Updating the bathroom

Renovating a bathroom can be a daunting task when you purchase a new home. Most people think about renovating a bathroom and see dollar signs. The truth is a bathroom remodel doesn’t have to be expensive and can usually be completed over a weekend. Minor updates to a bathroom such as replacing a shower head or changing the vanity can make a big difference. A complete bathroom can be more expensive depending on your budget and goals. The beauty here is that it is your house and you can go as big or as little as you want.

Change the lighting

One of the most overlooked things people do not consider when buying a new home is the lighting. Much like the paint color in your home, the lighting in your home can make or break the space. Consider replacing old light bulbs with new ones to open up the space. Lighting plays an important role in the home; it cannot only help you see better but it can also set the mood of a room. Sometimes we wish we could control the lighting in our rooms without ever getting off the couch. Now, with the advancements in smart technology you can. There are now lights you can install that can be control with the sound of your voice and through your smart phone.
