Older homes with 21st century appeal Value-added upgrades add style and efficiency
Think of your exterior space as an extension of your home.
Indoors goes outside Top 2019 outdoor living trends
Improve upon the charm of an older home with some contemporary modfications. Remember to ensure any wall is not load-bearing before removal, so you don’t impact the structural integrity of the home. Popcorn ceilings. Once upon a time, popcorn ceilings were the top trend installed in every house. Today, they distract the eye and make a home look old. Consider redoing your ceilings. Leave flat or add a knock-down texture, which is a popular modern drywall finishing technique. New paint/wallpaper. That ‘70s pea-green paint in the bathroom and the ‘80s floral wallpaper in the bedroom instantly date your home. By updating the walls, your house will feel more modern and you can customize to your personal tastes. For the DIYer, dedicate a weekend to painting the walls in your favorite spaces and you’ll be amazed at the transformation. Painting old grout. After years and sometimes decades, grout in bathrooms and kitchen spaces really takes a beating and turns a dirty color that’s impossible to clean. It can be time-consuming and tedious to replace grout, so to get a fresh look consider painting it instead. Specialty grout paint makes the process simple with easy application features that simply roll on. Update hardware. Hardware throughout a home gets dingy and dated. To update a space without an overhaul, simply change out the
hardware. Cabinet knobs, drawer handles, towel racks and more in a modern metallic hue can make a space feel fresh again without much investment. Don’t forget about air registers, which can also impact the visual appeal of a space. Energy-efficient insulation. There are many modern insulation options available today that weren’t around when older homes were built, and many of those homes have little to no insulation at all. In addition to insulation, remember to seal spaces for air loss, such as air ducts, doors, windows, pipe inlets and the attic. Embrace the history. Be sure to research the history of the home and neighborhood. Would pulling out that original wood built-in be a detriment to the home’s authenticity and value? Perhaps you can update the original wood flooring, so it has the modern stain tone you like, but the planks still maintain the home’s original luster. Light fixtures. Light-fixture styles change through the years and can make your home appear older than necessary. Replacements can make a world of difference. For example, replace an old brass chandelier with a modern pendant design. Not only will it be a style update, but the light output can make the space more usable.
With busy schedules and on-the-go lifestyles, outdoor living spaces offer a chance to decompress, enjoy nature and connect with friends and family. Thanks to the impressive design and quality of today’s outdoor products, these spaces often rival the convenience, comfort and design of the indoors. For both homebuyers and sellers, these outdoor spaces add considerable appeal to the home. As the heart of the home shifts outdoors, consider these the top trends that will dominate the outdoor living landscape. Sustainable solutions There is a growing interest in sustainable alternatives to wood decking products, which contribute to deforestation and can leave a heavy carbon footprint. Composite decking offers an appealing option that outperforms wood, with greater durability, less ongoing maintenance and fewer harmful environmental impacts. Trex decking, for example, is made from 95 percent recycled and reclaimed materials, diverting more than 250 million pounds of plastic film and bags from landfills each year. Beyond decking, composite materials also can be found in today’s hottest outdoor furnishings. Manufactured from recycled milk jugs and other polyethylene plastics, these high-performance, on-trend designs offer environmentally responsible options for comfortable, stylish outdoor living.
ing their outdoor living spaces, comfort is key. From plush cushions and throws to cozy pergolas, today’s outdoor spaces are designed to evoke serenity and peace. However, trend experts are quick to point out that “cozy” doesn’t equal “clutter.” Clean, minimalist looks are growing in popularity, as homeowners emphasize quality over quantity. In outdoor spaces, this trend is manifesting in sleek lines, simple styles and a preference for long-lasting products. On decks, this minimalist trend can be seen in the popularity of streamlined, aluminum railings. Another must-have is outdoor cabinetry such as built-in trash bins and ice chests that can be colorcoordinated to integrate seamlessly into a deck design. Illuminated spaces From candles and tiki torches to fireplaces and integrated fixtures, outdoor lighting is another “bright” idea that is in high demand. The right lighting can take any outdoor space from invisible to inviting — especially when it’s integrated in innovative ways to accentuate key features. Spotlights highlighting an accent wall or tread lights incorporated into a bar top are both popular options. Adding dimmable LED lighting to the railing and stairs not only adds ambiance but also enhances safety. By choosing which outdoor elements to highlight, it’s easy to change the look of an outdoor living space without moving any furniture.

Do you own an older home, and are you looking to make upgrades that matter? Strategic enhancements not only increase a property’s resale value, but also its functionality. This is particularly important among young homebuyers. Sixtyeight percent of millennial homebuyers reported buyer’s remorse, according to a Bank of the West survey. Many millennials are buying older homes rather than newly built ones, looking spend less on their home purchase. These homebuyers often decide after moving in that they need to upgrade some of the dated features of their homes, but are unsure what and where to renovate. If you feel you’ve settled for your home, or perhaps you love the older property but want to give it a facelift, here are some leading homeimprovement projects to consider. Technology additions. Smarthome features are frequently requested in new construction. Fortunately, your older home can become a smart home too when you implement technology, such as home automation. Thanks to WiFi, there’s no need for clumsy and costly rewiring. Smart thermostats, smart music and programmable lighting are prime examples. Tankless water heaters. Tankless water heaters are ideal for older homes because they are easy to install, take up much less space and can reduce energy costs by as much as 60 percent. Because they heat water on demand, you never have to worry about running out of hot water. What’s more, longer warranties than what can be found with traditional storage-tank water heaters are now available. Wall removal. Removing a wall between the kitchen and living room can enhance the functionality of the area and provide a modern open concept design. Cutouts in walls are another option if the wall cannot be completely removed.

The ‘wow’ factor Boost that curb appeal Anyone who’s ever bought, sold or even just looked at a house can tell you first impressions matter. A house can be filled to the rafters with luxury touches, but if it lacks curb appeal, few potential buyers will ever step in the door to see what’s inside. In the ever evolving market, curb appeal is taking on a new meaning for many homeowners. While an attractive home exterior can still boost potential resale value, homeowners are also looking at curb appeal as a way to enhance the enjoyment of their homes. Giving the exterior of their home a facelift not only makes the house stand out on the street, it also allows homeowners to “move up” without the expense of remodeling or moving. Fortunately, many curb appealenhancing projects can be cost-effective too, yielding significant improvements for a modest investment. If you’re looking for high-impact ways to create or improve curb appeal, consider these ideas. Make small improvements that have a big impact. Simple touches like repainting the front door, window trim and shutters, planting flowers, and switching outdated light fixtures can create a whole new look. Plus, these simple improvements have the advantage of being scalable Choose materials that are durable and stylish. Purchase the best quality materials you can afford — not only will they look better than cheaper goods, they’ll last longer and provide more enjoyment and value. Dress up the exterior with accents. Adding touches like accents to gables, posts and beams, drain chains in place of downspouts or planter boxes made with beautiful, sustainable materials like Western Red Cedar is a great way to improve curb appeal while stretching your budget. Quality materials retain their beauty over time better than cheaper materials. Illuminate. Light is a powerful accent, and, thanks to the availability of easy-toinstall solar lights, you don’t need to pay a professional to light your landscape.
First impressions make lasting impressions. Solar lights — readily available in home improvement stores — provide decorative illumination to driveways, walkways and gardens. Introduce shade. Arbors and trellises adorned with flowering vines are not only beautiful in warm months; they’re a great way to add areas of shade to your landscape. They can even be used to block the scorching heat from the afternoon sun from parts of your home’s interior. Building an arbor or trellis is even well within the capabilities of most do-it-yourselfers.
Add a splash of color to your landscape with low-maintenance plantings that require little attention. As an added “green” step, consider plants that require less water, too. Your local home extension office can help you identify what types of plants will grow best in your region. Think “green.” Whenever possible, choose materials that are truly sustainable. Sustainable materials are ones that have been harvested and/or manufactured through methods designed to reduce their impact on the environment.
