It’s probably time for your vacation home to get a fresh new look. Whether it is about attracting new tenants, you add value to yours Holiday villa or maybe just liven up the facade.
You can choose from a wide variety of options if you want to rejuvenate the look of your vacation home.
The first step in any renovation is to take a step back and take a closer look at the property in question.
What are the main features? Which parts of the house need the most attention? And most importantly, where do you start with the renovation? If you want to attract the best tenants or buyers, you need to focus on highlighting the strongest features of your property.
Have a look around and bring a friend for a long time so you can have fresh eyes to review the property. You will never know what to add to the makeover.
Set a budget for how much you are willing to spend on the revision. It doesn’t have to be a lot if it’s just a simple do-it-yourself job. So when you are on a budget, focus on improving the little things.
The front door
The first thing potential tenants, buyers, and even yourself will encounter is the front door. It serves as the main passage to your humble vacation spot, so it needs to be a priority in your design plans, especially if you are on a budget.
A fresh coat of paint and a new door handle can mean many things. They show people walking into the type of house they want to go into and it costs less to repair. Think of it as the first impression of the interior.
The color
This makes up most of the exterior of the home and should be maintained. The color serves as the main feature in any type of house, villa or house and is one of the most expensive repairs, especially when there is a lot of work to be done.
However, color doesn’t have to be a big deal if it still serves its purpose. See if there is anything you need to do. If you want, you can even dress up the walls while you’re at it. The fairing can turn out to be cheaper than repainting the entire exterior.
The window
If this is an old home, there will likely need to be some windows tweaking, and we’re not just talking about broken glass. Have the windows cleaned and their frames serviced. If you have the money for it, you might even be able to swap them for something better. They serve to emphasize the aesthetics of the house.
The patio, lawn, yard, lanai and everything else that is green
The outside of a luxury villa or house serves as an extension of the living area inside the house. If this term needs to be retained as such, the first thing you can do is plan how the exterior can be “rearranged” to be much more habitable.
Adding some seating, water taps like miniature fountains, and some large abstract decorative items can greatly enhance the appearance of your villa. Make sure that whatever is green is preserved, remove broken pots, make sure there is no residue, and that everything is lusciously cared for.
A look at the landscaping will help you a lot in this part of the process, as a little here definitely goes a long way. Make sure you use natural materials to add a little zen and freshness to the exterior of the home.
If you just follow a few of these tips, you’ll have the recipe for a perfectly refreshed vacation villa in no time. Get creative!
