Smart Splurging: Home Renovations that Are Worth Getting

Save or splurge? Most times people don’t understand that when it comes to home renovations, a bigger spend is usually smarter.

I’ve been looking around Pinterest for ideas for rennovating at home that made me inspired to write this post. Pinterest tends to make the DIY diva in you come out. I have nothing against this, but I have realized that I’ve made so many little tweaks to my house that must have collectively used up so much of my home budget already. So this time, I have devoted myself to some major projects that may sound like a splurge, but are completely worth it.

 

Small interior tweaks are easy solutions for a quick and temporary space makeover, but if you are looking to upgrade not just the look of your house but also its comfort and worth, here are five things you need to really invest on:

 

The bed of your dreams

We are usually unable to change our beds because we feel that it is such a big item and a bug buy. It is for this exact reason that you should finally consider replacing your current one. If a bed that was bought in your early days of collegiate freedom has lasted you 10 years down the line, imagine what a really good bed can do for you. Not only can it give you better rest after a long and boring day, you can also be assured of its longevity.

 

A steam shower

A steam shower is a major upgrade from just a regular shower head. It is an investment that can really take your bathroom from clinical to fabulous. I was looking at these Insignia steam showers and they look perfect for my dream shower makeover. Cleaning yourself shouldn’t be just a part of your regular routine, it should be something that you can look forward to and really enjoy. Steam showers are also healthy as they have cleansing and detoxifying effects on your body.

 

New kitchen cupboard/closets

When a paintjob is no longer enough, you need to rethink the layout of the room and your storage solutions. Fixtures such as cupboards and closets become as important as the actual room in itself because no one, even messy people, like clutter. They just have nowhere to hide it in.
