Upgrade Your Home: 6 Overlooked Areas You’re Probably Ignoring (3 of 4)

4. The Laundry Room of Sadness

Laundry rooms are so underappreciated, don’t you think? Cramped and dimly lit, their existence is strictly functional. But here’s the thing: there’s no rule that says it can’t be every bit as thoughtfully designed as the rest of your home. Consider installing cabinets for extra storage, a countertop for folding, and perhaps a drying rack or a cozy bench. A fresh coat of paint and better lighting can make laundry days less of a chore and more of an enjoyable experience. If your laundry area is smaller than a walk-in closet, fear not! With a smart layout, even the teeny, tiniest space can benefit from a well-planned home revamp.

5. The Forgotten Front Porch

Despite being your home’s first impression, your front porch often remains neglected. It’s time to upgrade your home and upgrade your life with a refreshed entryway. This can be accomplished without blowing a hole in your budget. If you’re looking for a few simple ideas, we’d suggest adding some potted plants, hanging a porch swing, updating your lighting, or throwing down a stylish outdoor rug.
