Great Remodeling Ideas for a More Modern Home – Part 2: It’s Newer on the Inside!

Updating your exterior is good, but you also need to upgrade your interior to complete your home’s transformation. Here are a few home interior remodeling ideas that you may want to consider:

Remodeling your kitchen

You need to modernize one of the busiest parts of your home if you want to give your property the complete modern makeover. Some of the tasks you can carry out include:

  • Updating your counters. Modern counters or kitchen drawers often feature doors that form a smooth surface that transitions perfectly into the wall, oven, or refrigerator next to them.
  • Changing the lighting. See your kitchen in a whole new light (literally) by changing up lighting fixtures. Do away with decades-old ceiling lamps, for instance, that may not just look outdated but are also highly energy-inefficient as well. Opt for smaller studio lights for less clutter and concentrated lighting. Around kitchen sinks and counters, consider recessed lighting to maintain sleekness without hampering visibility.
  • Keeping the floor simple. Your best bet is to keep your kitchen floor plain but if you want to take advantage of patterns, opt for nothing fancy and stick with neutral blocks of color.

Remodeling your bathroom

Another high-priority area for home remodeling, your bathroom can offer peace, relaxation, and style when given a modern overhaul by:

  • Getting rid of tile flair. Even in the bathroom, simplicity still rules so do away with bathroom tiles that are dated or are simply too fancy. Opt for a no-grout design for a more modern look.
  • Changing the porcelain. Nothing screams “old-fashioned” louder than an old tub and toilet. Fortunately, these are easy to replace, available in a range of styles to address needs pertaining to both aesthetic and function.
  • Dropping the curtains. Get rid of aging shower curtains and replace them with those featuring simpler designs or solid colors. Better yet, have a glass shower door installed. This will not only more effectively keep water confined to the shower area but will also help open up your bathroom, making it look more spacious.

Don’t stop with your kitchen and bathroom, however! These are just two areas of your home you need to prioritize. Upgrading your living room and bedroom will also go a long way towards making your home look more modern.

To give your home the upgrade it needs, you need the help of a remodeling company. Find the right one for you with some help from Part 3 of this blog series.
