What steps have you taken to make your home more comfortable amidst the pandemic? Many of us have resorted to decluttering, rearranging furniture, getting rid of or adding new furniture, as well as doing light renovation and remodeling work.
However, it is impossible to do each and every room in your home all on your own. At some point, you’ll need the help of professionals to get the job done right and fast.
And if you want to increase the comfort level in your home, you’ll need to focus on key areas, meaning areas that you’ll mostly need during long stays at home, and improve the efficiency level in these areas.
While you can DIY these projects to make your home comfortable, it really takes more than that. The most important thing to consider in creating a comfortable home is efficiency, especially in the following areas:
The Kitchen
Before the pandemic, many of us rarely cooked or made dinners at home. Today, however, is a different story. Many of us have learned to cook and have come to realize how inefficient their current kitchen situation is.
In the last couple of years, there’s been a huge increase in kitchen remodeling projects. This means many have come to understand the value of efficient kitchen space and how it encourages them to actually use the space.
A kitchen that is designed with efficiency is a space designed with comfort and functionality in mind. Changing the layout of your kitchen based on how you use the space will make kitchen work much easier and more enjoyable for you.
Getting rid of clutter and organizing your storage space can instantly make the space cleaner and feel more comfortable. You can achieve this by organizing your storage space and creating a system.
Improving kitchen cabinets, countertops, and installing backsplash don’t just make your kitchen look beautiful but also make it easier for you to locate what you need and store them back after use.
As a result, clean-up also becomes much faster and much easier. That said, you can definitely benefit from a kitchen remodel and reap the rewards of having a beautiful and efficient space each time you use it.
The Bathroom
You can transform a basic bathroom space into a warm and cozy relaxing room in your home. Once again, efficiency is key to achieve a comfortable and inviting space.
If most of your things are scattered on the sink counter, it’s time to install cabinets and drawers for proper storage. Cabinets are best for storing larger items while drawers are excellent storage spaces for smaller items that are best organized in smaller containers.
This allows you to see everything at a glance and quickly find anything you need. An organized bathroom makes your prep times faster and prevents you from spending 5 minutes looking for something you’ll use in a shorter term than that.
It’s much easier to clean an organized bathroom as well. With clutter out of the way, you’ll get sufficient counter space that you can decorate. Just make sure to keep the decor to a minimum to maintain the cleanliness of the space.
The Outdoors
We’ve never used our private outdoor spaces as much as we do now. Considering the amount of time that we’re spending at home, we’ve come to appreciate our gardens and backyards like never before.
In the past, we cared about these spaces much less than we did our indoor living areas. As a result, outdoor areas are often neglected as these areas weren’t always our preferred destination when it comes to spending time outdoors or doing outdoor activities.
But now that we’re spending more time at home, we find that the front and back yard spaces in our property are just as useful as our indoor spaces.
With proper cleaning and some durable, functional, and well-designed outdoor furniture, you can turn your backyard, garden, balcony, or rooftop into beautiful space where you can enjoy the beauty of the outdoors without leaving your home.
If you’re not really into lawn maintenance, you can opt for a faux grass carpet that will create a space that is a vast improvement on its former state. If you think about it, designing and decorating your outdoor areas are actually fun and rewarding.
To make the most out of the current stay-at-home situation, it’s best to make our homes more comfortable and enjoyable.
A truly comfortable home is one that is designed with efficiency and functionality in mind. Make sure you consider these factors when remodeling the key areas mentioned here, so you can have a beautiful and comfortable space that you can enjoy every day.
