What is Home renovation?
Home renovation (remodelling) is the act of improving damaged or outdated residential structures to make them aesthetically pleasing, adding more functions, or making both improvements. Current advancements in technology have a role and should be considered during renovation – especially when it is renovation ideas within the planning stage.

- How to decide which idea would be suitable for your space
In this section, we will suggest specific home renovations that are budget-friendly. Here are seven unique ideas you can use while renovating your home.
Change the exterior
The outside of your home is likewise as significant as the interior. So, while doing a house makeover, remember to include a few accent items to give your home a friendly and attractive look. Simple ways to improve your outside area include changing the flooring, adding a garden, revamping your mailbox, cheery and colourful objects to your front door, and adding shutters, window boxes, or pots to your window area.
Concrete Flooring
Concrete floors don’t just look amazing, they are extremely durable too. They are resistant to dirt, hard impact, stains, etc., and will give your home a modern and contemporary look. You can get amazing concrete flooring ideas and options at craftsmanconcretefloors.com and start adding them to your home. Concrete flooring is also not as expensive as hardwood or other flooring options, and this is great if you are on a budget.
Upgrading the kitchen island
A kitchen island creates more counter space, extra storage area, and additional seating space. One great way to augment the kitchen design is by doubling it as a minibar, racks above the counter, and shelving for drinking glasses. During kitchen renovation, you can add electrical outlets to the island to ensure full functionality. Depending on the state of the cabinetry, you can paint the kitchen cabinet for an inexpensive kitchen renovation idea.
Colours selection
A combination of different colors will give your home a different vibe. To choose a palette that would match your desired aesthetic, you can use a prominent contrast of colours in your home renovation. You can also try an all-white palette for a minimalist and organized feel.
Open shelve
Open shelve adds an extra visual layer to your home. You need a few shelves to exhibit your antiques, trinkets, and other collectables, and you can keep them entirely exposed or cover them with glass doors. You may also use baskets, books, or other household accessories to embellish frames.
Designing our home with unique shapes
You don’t have to narrow yourself to the usual rectangular furniture forms! We advocate tailoring your home makeover to your preferences and available space. Swap out the traditional rectangular sofas for a more roomy L-shaped couch, or experiment with curved counters and tables for more workspace. However, it is crucial to ensure that these design concepts do not take up too much room and allow good traffic flow around your home. Every detail counts in a tiny place like a bathroom: A bathroom may be transformed into a bright, fashionable refuge using the proper wall colour, tilework, or lighting.
Home spacing
Another fantastic home renovation option is to get more usable space from your current furniture by optimising your designs. For example, if you have a deck, installing a bar rail may turn it into a lovely seat for outside meals. Also, instead of installing a traditional built-in cabinet, utilise this house makeover to build pull-out cabinets, which adds extra countertop and storage space while also making your home seem distinctive. This is especially useful if you’re searching for home remodelling ideas on a budget because you’re adding to areas and goods you already possess rather than beginning from scratch.
A home remodelling is an excellent chance to make your home more energy-efficient and save money on your utility costs. Take advantage of some of the ideas shared in this post to begin your renovation process.

in the garden.
They’re go-to is always football and they’ve been trying to improve their aim and accuracy with the new Messi Foldable Footlball goal from the #MessiTrainingSystem range.
I love the fact the goal is foldable, making it easy to store away when not in use. It is also lightweight so you can effortlessly pack it up and take it to the park or to a friend’s house.
The Messi Foldable Football Goal retails at £36 and can be purchased from @argos

I am fortunate to be surrounded by strong, powerful women in the form of my mum, sister and mother-in-law (along with many others).

They have a huge range of Mother’s Day gifts to choose from so we can show them how much they mean to us. (swipe to take a look at some of my choices)
If you want to express love and appreciation for the mother figure(s) in your life, head to Boots.com to find the ideal gift. They have a whole host of gifts, so you can be sure to find something to suit all tastes. Celebrate the #LoveForAllMums this Mother’s Day with Boots.
