Design Tricks to Revamp Your Home
Contrary to popular belief, you don’t need to spend a fortune or go to design school to revamp your home. “It’s all about simplicity,” says Susan Yoder, interior design expert for builder Clayton Homes. “A little goes a long way when it comes to home décor and living spaces. Only a few simple changes can make a big difference and allow you to create a room you’ll be itching to show off to friends and family.”
To breathe new life into your space, Yoder recommends these tips:
1. Pops of Color
“Nothing livens up a room like a bright pop of color,” Yoder says. If you have neutral-toned furniture, add lamps, curtains and accessories in bold hues. If you’re up for a painting challenge, an accent wall is a great way to incorporate color into a space. Choose your favorite color from a throw pillow or wall art piece in the room to pull the look together.
2. Varying Textures
A room tends to get boring when it focuses on only one texture, so it’s important to create a sense of balance. Try varying the fabric types on your sofa and curtains. Add in some metal or wooden accents to draw the eye around the room. You can even play with lighting to reflect off certain objects and create visual interest.
3. Antique Feature
Choose an antique or unique piece of décor to be the inspiration for the room. This could be a rug, lamp, chair or even a chandelier – anything that gets you energized and motivated. Get creative and run with the theme it creates. Or if your style is more modern, an antique object will stand out among your contemporary décor.
4. Symmetrical yet Functional
The furniture collection in a room should form a restful, symmetrical layout. It’s all about balance. There should be between three and 10 feet between each seat. Additionally, instead of pushing each piece up against the wall to create more space, give your furniture a bit of breathing room a few inches from the wall. This makes the room appear open and airy.
5. Clutter-free Organization
Getting rid of clutter is a grand challenge for most homeowners. When you decide to take on the mess, drawers and cabinets are your best friends. Take some time to go through your belongings and decide what to keep, donate or throw away. Store any leftover items that can cause clutter in an organized, out-of-sight area.

OUTDOOR OASIS
CREATING THE PERFECT BACKYARD
As the warm and sunny days of summer approach, many homeowners aspire to transform their backyard into a captivating outdoor oasis. A well-designed and inviting outdoor space not only enhances the overall aesthetics of your home but also provides a perfect backdrop for summer entertaining. In this article, we will explore creative ideas and practical tips to help you create the ultimate backyard retreat for hosting memorable gatherings and enjoying the best of the summer season.
PLAN THE LAYOUT
Before diving into the design process, start by envisioning how you want your outdoor space to function. Consider the available area and think about the different zones you’d like to incorporate, such as dining, lounging, and recreational areas. Plan the layout accordingly to ensure a seamless flow and maximize the functionality of the space.
COMFORTABLE SEATING
Invest in comfortable and stylish outdoor seating options to accommodate your guests. Opt for weather-resistant materials like teak, wrought iron, or outdoor wicker that can withstand the elements. Mix and match seating styles and add plush
cushions and throw pillows for a cozy and inviting atmosphere. Consider incorporating a variety of seating options, such as lounge chairs, benches, and outdoor sofas, to provide flexibility for different types of gatherings.
OUTDOOR KITCHEN AND BAR
Elevate your summer entertaining experience by incorporating an outdoor kitchen or bar area. Install a grill, sink, and food preparation counter to make cooking and serving meals a breeze. Consider adding a mini-fridge or a built-in cooler to keep beverages and snacks readily available. Enhance the bar area with a stylish countertop, bar stools, and storage for glassware and utensils. An outdoor kitchen and bar not only make hosting more convenient but also create a focal point for socializing and mingling.
AMBIENT LIGHTING
The right lighting can transform your backyard into a magical oasis, extending your entertaining hours into the night. Incorporate a mix of lighting options, such as string lights, lanterns, path lights, and spotlights, to create layers of illumination. String lights suspended above the seating or dining area add a cozy and romantic atmosphere, while well-placed spotlights highlight architectural features or focal points. Consider incorporating
flameless candles or torches for added warmth and ambiance.
LANDSCAPING AND GREENERY
Integrate lush greenery and thoughtful landscaping to enhance the beauty of your outdoor oasis. Plant colorful flowers, create vibrant flower beds, or install potted plants strategically throughout the space. Incorporate trees or tall shrubs to provide shade and privacy. Create a sense of tranquility with a water feature, such as a fountain or a small pond. Wellmaintained lawns and neatly trimmed hedges contribute to a polished and inviting outdoor environment.
Transforming your backyard into a stunning outdoor oasis for summer entertaining is an exciting endeavor that can significantly enhance your home’s appeal. By carefully planning the layout, incorporating comfortable seating, creating a functional dining area, integrating ambient lighting, incorporating landscaping, and adding entertainment and bug control features, you can create a space that is not only visually appealing but also perfectly suited for hosting memorable summer gatherings. With the right design elements and attention to detail, your backyard can become the go-to destination for family and friends seeking a fantastic outdoor experience during the summer months.

PREPARING YOUR HOME FOR THE MARKET
Whether you’re ready to move into a larger house to fit your growing family, downsize to a smaller place, or simply need to relocate, the process of selling a house is one that requires work. The more work you do to prepare, the higher the chances will be of attracting serious buyers for your house.
To help you prepare for the big sale, follow these tips:
CHOOSE AN AGENT.
Sure, you can try and go at it alone to save on commission. But a real estate agent who understands your home, your community and your expectations is well worth it. An agent can help with everything from advertising your home to setting a fair price and managing the paperwork.
SET A PRICE.
Once you’ve settled on an agent, they will help set a price for your home and conduct a market analysis of current listings and recent sales of comparable homes in your area. Your agent may also request that you have your home appraised. Factors such as your timeframe to sell, and repairs and upgrades you’re willing to make, will also play a role in determining your asking price.
GET A PRE-LISTING INSPECTION.
Many sellers choose to have their home inspected prior to putting it on the market. A pre-listing inspection can help uncover surprises and allow you to get estimates for repair work ahead of time before you reach the final stages of the home sale. Even if you’ re unable or unwilling to make the recommended repairs, knowing how much it will cost to fix or replace faulty items can help during negotiations.
GET TOGETHER IMPORTANT DOCUMENTS.
Get together appliance manuals, warranty info, past utilities bills and other paperwork to answer questions from prospective buyers and provide to them after the deal has closed.
BOOST YOUR CURB APPEAL.
Your home’s exterior is the first thing potential buyers will notice, so make sure it makes a good and lasting first impression. Touch up paint or repaint entirely and fix cracks in or repave the driveway. Put down new mulch, pull weeds, plant flowers and shrubbery –whatever you can do to make the exterior of your home as appealing as possible.
CLEAN, DECLUTTER AND DEPERSONALIZE.
A prospective buyer wants to envision themselves living in your home – not see you living in there currently. Clean the place, take down family photos and personal items. And if you have a dog or cat, remove signs of them as well. Not everyone is an animal person.
By following these tips, your house will move quickly – even in a non-peak selling season!

CREATIVE WAYS TO USE THAT SPARE BEDROOM
CREATIVE WAYS TO USE THAT SPARE BEDROOM
If you’re lucky enough to have a spare bedroom, you may want to think of it less as a rarely used landing spot for guests or a place to store extra ‘stuff,’ and more as a blank canvas - a pleasant spot you can use for rest, relaxation, hobbies or exercise, or even as a money-making option.
Consider these inspiring ideas from room designers and creative thinkers:
GET CRAFTY
- Do you sew occasionally? Like to draw or paint? Love to do amazing gift-wraps? Fill the room with smart choices of furnishings, storage, tables and accessories to make your hobby more fun than ever.
MAKE IT PERSONAL
Turn the room into a ma’am- or man-cave, with comfy furnishings, a TV and sound system and anything else you need to make it a cozy, personal retreat.
MAKE
IT A
STUDY
- Create a cheerful home office space where you or your kids can pay bills, read online or study without interruption. Install a work counter/desk across one wall, add enough chairs and supply drawers, plus computers and printers as needed.
BUILD YOUR OWN LIBRARY
- Book lovers can line the walls with shelving, collect books to their heart’s content, install a chair or two and some great reading light, and revel in a private library.
MAKE MUSIC - For parents and/ or kids with a passion for making music, lay down thick carpeting to soak up sound, add a few comfy floor cushions for musically inclined visitors and make room to jam with friends or solo with as many instruments as you wish.
START A GARDEN
- Wish you had a greenhouse? You can cultivate seedlings in that spare room from the waning days of winter through early spring. Buy ready-made shelving and add light fixtures and supplies appropriate for nurturing baby plants.
