6 Architectural Improvement Ideas For Your Home

Home improvements give you the areas you want while possibly increasing the property’s resell value. From renovations to add-ons, architectural designs allow you to create the perfect atmosphere. These methods can give your home a unique appearance, which can set it apart from any other location in the world. In most cases, even the most subtle of changes can give a room a completely new look.

Indoor Ponds

While the outdoor pond can add to curb appeal, bringing it indoors can create a perfect place to relax. Build on a small waterfall and you can enjoy the sound of running water year round without worry of the pond freezing. However, an indoor pond will weigh quite a bit. It will need to be properly supported especially if it’s above ground level.

Patios

Patios are an excellent way to improve the curb appeal of your home while enhancing it’s value. Some homeowners build roofs overhead or use wooden slats as a way to offer shade. Creating a wider area may be beneficial for hosting barbecues. You could also build on wooden seating and tables eliminating the need to buy extra outdoor furniture.

Built-In Shelving

Installing shelving units into the walls themselves can open up rooms without needing various pieces of furniture. For example, an elaborate entertainment center can be installed within the wall giving you ample space for home electronics and books. This can also be an attraction for others when it comes time to sell the home.

Outdoor Accent Lighting

Accent lighting outside of the house not only offers a nice appearance at night, but it can also make the property safer. A few small outdoor lights shining on your garden can be bright enough to provide enough light to see where you’re walking. Using LED bulbs can greatly reduce the energy costs if that is one of your concerns.

Natural-Themed Swimming Pool

Swimming pools are a nice addition to most properties, but making it resemble a natural pond can take the experience even further. This can be done with plastic plants and stones in addition to the construction of the pool itself. Some homeowners will have waterfalls built onto the pool as a way to cycle the water, which gives it an even more natural look.

Skylights

Skylights have a certain allure as these units allow natural light into the home. For many individuals, this natural light is soothing and relaxing while saving money on energy costs for illumination. Depending on your geographical location and the skylight design, they can also offer an incredible view of the stars at night.

Renovations and remodels are done all the time to properties whether it’s for efficiency or aesthetics. Places such as a Steve Wynn casino have been redesigned from their original floor plans to enhance function. Your home can be modified in a number of ways giving it greater appeal to yourself and others who may be interested in purchasing the property. Enhance your surroundings and give yourself the perfect atmosphere to come home to after a long day at work.

Magnetic Wall Paint

I used to watch home and garden shows in my local channel and one the most interesting stuff I saw was the sue of magnetic wall paints for a kid’s room. The paint was used so that the kids can attached or stick magnetic stuffs on the wall. Now it makes me think of it is safe on the wall. And it makes me want to have a wall painted with magnetic paint so I can stick there the list of diet pill that works, that I found on the net. I will be needing that list when I am done breastfeeding. Magnetic boards are really cool, no more hassle of using tapes or post it note or thumb tacks (which never fails to hurt my feet).

The first question is, if it safe to use in the house? And based on some readings I got, yes it is as it does not contain lead. And it being safe to use near computers and speakers (for magnet purpose), the answer is yea again as the mechanism of the magnetic paint wall is much the same as it is on refrigerator wall.

The magnetic wall paint is also easy to apply. All  you need to do is use the paint as the base of your wall paint. So after applying the magnetic paint, you put another latex paint on it.

The best thing about this magnetic wall paint is the unending fun it can give to your kids as they stick their artworks on their walls. And of course to you as you stick your to do list, list of any list and all reminders in your wall.
