How to Revamp Your Home
By [http://ezinearticles.com/?expert=Debbie_J_Evans]Debbie J Evans

10 tips on improving not moving.

1. Seek advice on the value of your property, and specific works to increase your house price. Some projects definitely add value, while others can have the opposite effect.

2. Plan carefully. Make an accurate floor plan then search out the best style and the most competitively priced furniture for your home

3. Make the most of every inch of space. Gardens are often overlooked. For example, there may be room in your garden for a home office or study, freeing up a room in the house.

4. If you take the plunge and decide to get builders in, make sure you have a timetable drawn up. In this way you will know when all work is scheduled to take place and when everything will be completed. This will aid your stress levels considerably.

5. Get accurate quotes. Use the Internet to do your own pricing up so you don't get ripped off by trades people.

6. Make sure any trades people you do use have full insurance. Check with the relevant trade associations.

7. Improve exteriors. Start with a good wash down with a detergent solution, rinse off and allow to dry. Then follow up with a fresh link of paint.

8. Paint effectively. Begin with the ceiling, then do the walls and finish with the wood and metalwork.

9. Give your kitchen or bathroom an instant makeover just by replacing the cupboard handles.

10. Finishing touches. Rather than making huge structural changes, think about other elements that make up a room, from kitchen fittings to artwork. Use interior design magazines to inspire and guide you.
