1. Renovate your kitchen

Kitchen renovations are not something that is done every year so if you’re tired of how your kitchen is looking, why not consider a remodel?

For example, you can do something small like repaint the cabinet doors to change the colour scheme of the room. On the other hand, you can also change everything from the floor and backsplash to cabinets and faucets.

Maybe you want to add an island or knock down a wall or two to create an open-plan kitchen. If the appliances are faulty, replace them as well.

What is more, if the kitchen is just not functional, look into completely changing its layout. Perhaps moving the sink and the island will make the whole space much easier to use.

2. Add a new bathroom

Even the best of families occasionally fight over the bathroom. So, if you and other household members simply need one more, add it this summer.

First, you need to find the right place for it. Can you simply add it to your home’s square footage or would you have to convert some other room into a bathroom?

Then, you should pick out the colour scheme and all the elements that the bathroom needs. Do you need another tub/shower or are a toilet and a sink enough? Once you’ve made up your mind, contact a professional with plenty of experience that will have this done in no time.

3. Finish the basement

In case you currently have an unfinished basement, it’s high time to spend some time and money on it. For instance, if you need an extra bedroom, this space can easily serve that purpose.

Plus, that means that you can also add a bathroom there instead of converting some other part of your home.

Then, it is also a great opportunity to add a home office, a second living room, or a family game room. Maybe a home cinema is something that everyone in your home wants.

4. Build a tennis court

For some fun in the sun, you can think about adding a sports court of some sort if you have enough space in your backyard. For example, a tennis court is a great option as you can play against your family members but also have a great source of entertainment when hosting guests.

To be able to play even when the sun sets, you want to look into quality tennis court lighting that will ensure everyone is safe and comfortable while playing. What is more, you can also invest in a tennis ball machine that will let you work on your returns on your own.

5. Invest in the curb appeal

Finally, you can also invest in the curb appeal of your home and completely transform the exterior. For instance, you can replace the existing siding with a more visually appealing alternative.

Then, you can simply repaint it and go bold with something unexpected like black or navy blue. Swapping out windows and the front door can also make a huge statement.

Moreover, there is no better time to get a new roof than in the summer. If the current one is leaky or doesn’t suit your aesthetic vision for the home, look for something that matches your style, whether it’s metal or slate.

Lastly, you should give some TLC to the shrubs and trees that are in front of your home or consider planting some if there are currently none.

When funds are not an issue, home improvement projects depend only on what you require from your home. Whether it’s practicality in the form of a better kitchen or a new bathroom or entertainment with a tennis court, options are countless.
