3 Ways to Make Your Home More Welcoming for Guests

By

Do you love hosting guests? Is the guest bedroom of your home almost as luxurious as your own bedroom? If you want the rest of your home to feel welcoming for friends, family, and others, consider these DIY projects. From creating an outdoor paradise with a gas fire pit to an opulent bathroom, these projects will make your guests feel more at home.

Upgrade Your Kitchen 

Hosting often means cooking for a crowd. While modern appliances and countertop seating can make your kitchen feel more inviting, don’t forget about cleaning up. Having guests means more dishes. Double bowl stainless steel kitchen sinks can provide ample room for washing dishes, but it might also be smart to upgrade your dishwasher. These may not be the most aesthetically focused upgrades, but they can make your kitchen easier and more enjoyable to use when cooking for friends and family.

Create an Outdoor Paradise 

Hosting can extend beyond the kitchen and living room and outside to your backyard. Build a deck, add chairs and a table for outdoor dining, and install a fire pit to enjoy the outdoors on chilly nights. If you want to take it a step further, consider installing a hot tub, which can give your outdoor area a hotel-like quality.

Make the Guest Bath More Luxurious 

Treat your guests to a luxurious bathroom with just a few DIY upgrades. A new sink is always a good start, much like in the kitchen, but other features can make the overall bathroom feel more spa-like and luxurious. From a fancier toilet with different functions like a seat warmer or bidet to a walk in bathroom tub with massaging jets, you have options.

4 Things to Check Around the House This Spring

It’s time for spring cleaning, and along with organizing your closets and decluttering the garage, there are a few maintenance tasks to check off your list. Some are just quick checks, while others are essential for keeping your home running smoothly. From inspecting and maintaining electric hot water heaters to replacing fence posts, here are a few things to check around your home this spring. Check Deck Boards for Rot Depending on whether you used deck boards composite vs. fully natural wood, you should check for any rot, insect damage, or cracks that happened over the winter. Composite boards won’t have these problems, as they are a mix of resin and wood and don’t have the drawbacks of wooden boards. If your natural wood deck boards do have damage, you might want to replace them with composite boards. Regardless, spring is an excellent time to check your deck and see how it’s holding up. Be sure to check the top of the deck, underneath, and any handrails for damage. In...

While it’s okay to shop on a budget and cut corners for some home improvement projects, others are worth the extra investment. When upgrading things like electric hot water heaters or exterior decks, it’s worth spending a little extra on quality products, materials, and supplies so you can enjoy a more comfortable, efficient, and safer home. From more hot water on demand to a deck that holds up to Mother Nature, consider investing in these home upgrades. A Better Water Heater If you’re in the market for a new water heater, consider going with a premium option. An electric water heater with a large tank ensures you can take a bath while running the dishwasher, or not worry about family members who all want to take a hot shower on a cold day. Make sure you buy a size that fits your family’s needs, and consider going with a tankless install if you want a more efficient unit with hot water on demand. A Durable Composite Deck Another improvement that is worth the investmen...
