Winter may be synonymous with cozy indoor activities but it’s also an excellent time to tackle home improvement projects. RIHI, The Home Improvement Specialist, suggests you embrace Winter’s chill and consider these seven home improvement projects.
1. Interior Painting
Winter provides an ideal environment for interior painting. With lower humidity levels, paint dries faster and more evenly in the Winter. Refreshing your walls with a new coat of paint can instantly transform the look and feel of a room. Depending on your personal taste and style, consider warm, earthly tones to enhance the coziness.
2. Kitchen Update
The heart of any home, the kitchen, always can use a refresh. A simple update like cabinet refacing can breathe new life into your home’s social central point. And typically, cabinet refacing can be done with relatively little interruption into your daily life.
3. Bathroom Improvement
Replacing your tub or shower, or doing a tub/shower conversion, you can transform your current everyday bathroom into a spa-like retreat. And many times, this type of bathroom improvement can be completed in as little as a couple of days.
4. Weatherproofing
Mitigate drafts and improve your home’s energy efficiency by weatherproofing during the winter. Check windows and doors for leaks, apply weatherstripping and insulate attics and crawl spaces. This not only keeps your home cozy, but also reduces energy costs during the colder months.
5. Energy-Efficient Windows
Another way to lower your energy bills and improve your home’s curb appeal is by investing in energy-efficient windows. Replacing your windows can be a great way to help control the indoor temperature, providing a comfortable living environment year-round.
6. Fireplace Installation or Upgrade
What better time to enhance the warmth of your home than in winter? Installing a new fireplace or upgrading an existing one can become a focal point in your living space. Whether you choose a traditional wood-burning fireplace or a gas option, the ambiance and heat generated will be fantastic.
7. Indoor Greenery
Bring the outdoors in by incorporating indoor plants into your home. Winter can be dreary, but lush greenery adds life and vibrancy to any space. Choose low-maintenance plants that thrive in indoor conditions and enjoy the benefits of improved air quality. And this will help to boost your mood.
RIHI, The Home Improvement Specialist believes these winter home improvement projects will keep active in the colder months. And since we don’t know if Punxsutawney Phil will see his shadow, you could be enjoying your indoor improvements well into March. So, consider an improvement project and turn your winter into a season of transformation for your home.
