Most of us don't think about hardware around the home unless we are looking for a nail or a screw to hang something on a wall. Truth is, home hardware is all around us but most of it is so boring that we never give it a second look.
Paying attention and upgrading the hardware around the house are actually good advice. Why so? According to articles in national publications, the kitchens and bathrooms, places where home hardware is most obvious, are actually the selling points of most homes. Which means, the better hardware you have or more clearly, the more appealing kitchen and bathrooms you have, the higher the resale value for your house. Selling your place therefore, is not such a bad idea.
Start the project by replacing the handles of the drawers in your kitchen and bathroom. Go all the way and include the handles of your furniture, especially the bigger ones.
Why not upgrade your doors other than the usual varnish and repaint? Replace the door knobs or handles too.
Next, replace the usual cabinets in the bathroom and kitchen with stainless steel racks for storing the towels. Estimate the available space as you don't want to ill-fit a rack into a too small or too big space. A rack will also be a highlight for the wall and your nice towels.
Moving on now to the lighting - this is another hardware item that surely deserves attention. What's a beautiful home without sufficient light, right? Lightings in the bathroom and kitchen should be periodically checked because they are exposed more to moisture. Safety is important. Functional doesn't have to be boring, so go for lighting fixtures that are eye-catching. There are lamps and overhead lights with vivid colors, designs and shapes.
It's also worth noting the kitchen and bathroom floors. Tiles is a good choice given the variety in design, pattern and color of floor tiles. Of course, changing the flooring requires the service of a professional hence, extra expenditure. Just consider it a good investment.
Polish the look with nice area rugs, as well as with an updated window treatment. If you've been using the same old aluminum blinds, it's time to shake it up and install wood horizontal blinds or acrylic verticals. - 29957
