Your home is your castle — a place where you can unwind and escape from the stresses of everyday life. Or at least retreat to the unique bond of your family. Your home is more than just a pile of wood or bricks; it is a reflection of who you are. Whether you’ve lived in your home for years, or just a few short months, it’s important that you make it your own by updating it to match your style.
It doesn’t matter what your budget is — there is a way to transform a room or your entire home with these simple tips:
Replace Vinyl Cladding
You will see many homes in the United States, Canada, and Australia with vinyl cladding (siding). It was introduced as a viable and durable alternative to aluminum cladding in the 70’s and became popular through its ability to cheaply transform the look of your home.
However, vinyl cladding does not last well in extreme weather conditions; such as hot summers and cold winters. This is why we recommend using a quality product from a supplier like peterbracey.co.au.
The replacement for vinyl cladding is UPVC weatherboard and it provides an excellent opportunity to completely refresh the look of your property. As a bonus, it will not fade and is acceptable in tropical cyclone areas!
Remodel Your Kitchen
Your kitchen is generally the heart of your home. It is not just the place where you cook the best meals for your family; it is usually the common meeting place and where you communicate the most.
It is, therefore, one of the best rooms to remodel because it will provide a fresh look to your home and everyone can benefit from it.
It can also be done very simply; you do not need to rip the entire kitchen out and start again! The best option is to update your cabinets, either by painting them or replacing them completely.
It is also comparatively easy to replace the countertops and add a coat of paint to the walls finish the transformation.
You can even swap your appliances from white or black to stainless steel to emphasize the difference in your kitchen.
Update Your Bathroom
This is the one room you are most likely to indulge in a little me time. The best part is it can be made over with very little effort or expense.
Obviously a fresh coat of paint goes a long way. However, there are several other simple things that you can do to completely change the room.
Swap the dated bathroom sink for a modern one. If you choose one that is a similar size you do not need to complete any plumbing alterations!
You can also UPVC clad your shower area to quickly and effectively transform old tiles into a modern fresh looking bathroom.
Finally, don’t forget to replace the accessories, particularly towels to match your new décor.
There are many ways in which you can remodel your home on a budget or by undertaking a simple task. In fact, the only real limit is your imagination. But, the best remodeling efforts are those which assure you that you won’t need to do it again for years; such as UPVC cladding the outside of your home.

When the budget doesn't allow replacement of appliances or siding simple interior changes can make your home feel like new. Trade out bedding and window coverings and paint the room to match. Add new slipcovers to couches and repaint there also.

My home, I'm talking all parts of it can use some serious remodeling/make over. Sometimes I look around at my furnishings and think am I still in college.

I need to remodel both the kitchen and bath. I added trim to my windows this summer with new blinds and curtains and it really made my windows look so much better!

I don't have any tips, which is why I like to see posts like this. I never heard of UPVC weatherboard before. I'm glad to find out about it.
