Lighting

Lighting in the home, and especially the living areas are quite important. If you think of a poorly lit home that has old lights that emit yellow rays, the home is not welcoming and comforting to you or your guests. This also devalues your home and reduces the home aesthetic appeal. So you can see how important light can affect the house. Down lights are inexpensive choices that can be installed for your home. You don't need a lot of these in any one area but it projects a modern look and a warm feeling.

If you wish to install yourself, please check with your hardware and legal regulations. If you cause a fire hazard to your home and the regulations does not allow unlicensed people to install down lights, then insurance companies may not cover you in the case your house catches fire. So it's critical you check the regulations and insurance specifications, I find it hassle free to hire an electrician.

Painting

Painting and careful selection of colors and wall features are cheap and effective. Especially if you choose modern colours that are bright and welcoming. You can try a few colour schemes. If you are out of ideas, go visit your local home display centre where developers display new homes for people to buy.

If you choose to renovate your house, it should be carefully planned to save money, time, frustration and mistakes. All this could make your project unsuccessful. Everyone wants to start quickly, but one or 2 days planning prior to starting could save hundreds of dollars. The other benefit of planning is to give you time to think about the selections you have made and go over your plans to identify any mistakes.
