  47. <p><span style="font-weight: 400">Owning a home is every family’s dream. Unfortunately, many families rent houses due to high mortgages and the high cost of living. The beauty about renting your home to a family is that they will likely stay longer. Single tenants will often move if they form relationships or to acquire property. On the other hand, families develop neighborhood roots. The kids settle into local nurseries and schools, and moving disrupts the children’s lives. Also, moving is generally a bigger hassle for most families since they often have more furniture and items to pack. Therefore, as a landlord, having a family rent your property should be a welcome idea. Here are nine sure tips to attract families to your rentals.</span></p>
  48. <h3><b>Family-Friendly Layout</b></h3>
  49. <p><span style="font-weight: 400">Family life can be hectic, and you don’t want to add a cramped accommodation to the list of challenges. Therefore, as a landlord, you must ensure your property is as comfortable as possible so families will want to stay longer. </span></p>
  50. <p><span style="font-weight: 400">One essential feature of a family-friendly home is a layout with flexible spaces or rooms that can serve other purposes over time. Children grow, and family needs change. Eventually, your tenant may have more kids, and the present ones will grow and have new needs for space. A home layout with flexible spaces allows your tenants to, for instance, convert a playroom into a craft room or study room as their space needs change. It’s even better if the flex rooms are centrally located so the adults can easily monitor the kids as they fix meals in the kitchen. </span></p>
  51. <p><span style="font-weight: 400">If the house has more than one floor, bathrooms should be available upstairs and downstairs. Depending on the layout of the house, the upstairs bathroom makes it easy for kids to use the bathroom at night, and the one downstairs is convenient for visitors and potty-training children. </span></p>
  52. <h3><b>Fit with Family-Friendly Appliances</b></h3>
  53. <p><img decoding="async" class="alignnone  wp-image-297" src="https://i0.wp.com/homegarden.world/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/jason-briscoe-GrdJp16CPk8-unsplash.jpg?resize=603%2C402&#038;ssl=1" alt="" width="603" height="402" srcset="https://i0.wp.com/homegarden.world/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/jason-briscoe-GrdJp16CPk8-unsplash.jpg?resize=300%2C200&amp;ssl=1 300w, https://i0.wp.com/homegarden.world/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/jason-briscoe-GrdJp16CPk8-unsplash.jpg?resize=1024%2C683&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https://i0.wp.com/homegarden.world/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/jason-briscoe-GrdJp16CPk8-unsplash.jpg?resize=768%2C512&amp;ssl=1 768w, https://i0.wp.com/homegarden.world/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/jason-briscoe-GrdJp16CPk8-unsplash.jpg?resize=1536%2C1024&amp;ssl=1 1536w, https://i0.wp.com/homegarden.world/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/jason-briscoe-GrdJp16CPk8-unsplash.jpg?resize=446%2C297&amp;ssl=1 446w, https://i0.wp.com/homegarden.world/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/jason-briscoe-GrdJp16CPk8-unsplash.jpg?w=1920&amp;ssl=1 1920w, https://i0.wp.com/homegarden.world/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/jason-briscoe-GrdJp16CPk8-unsplash.jpg?w=1640&amp;ssl=1 1640w" sizes="(max-width: 603px) 100vw, 603px" data-recalc-dims="1" /></p>
  54. <p><span style="font-weight: 400">An unfurnished property does not have to be completely bare. If you want it to appeal to families, consider fitting appliances. Two common appliances you may incorporate to add value to your property are an oven and a microwave. These are not legally required but will certainly make a family more interested in letting your house. </span></p>
  55. <p><span style="font-weight: 400">You can also supply other integrated or freestanding appliances like a refrigerator to improve your tenants’ quality of life. Although most families can afford a fridge, providing a free family-sized one will undoubtedly make family home seekers rank your property above the rest. Other common appliances that families increasingly require in homes are washing machines and dishwashers. Since these commonly break and you would be responsible for the repairs, only provide plumbing for them to lower your maintenance costs. That’ll likely attract more families to your rental. </span></p>
  56. <h3><b>Ample Storage Space</b></h3>
  57. <p><span style="font-weight: 400">The quantities of general paraphernalia that come with kids are hard to overestimate. These range from scooters and bikes to high chairs and strollers. There are also clothes, shoes, and other personal items that kids need. In simple terms, storage space is among the most crucial requirements for a family home. Houses with additional storage space, like a boarded loft or cellar, make the lives of families a lot easier. If you intend to attract family renters, you must think about storage. </span></p>
  58. <h3><b>Secure Parking Space</b></h3>
  59. <p><span style="font-weight: 400">Having off-street parking on your property is a huge bonus. Garages are also extremely popular among family renters. That is because demand for parking spaces may be higher than the space available in tenants&#8217; parking areas, which can happen with rented accommodations in cities. If you can provide off-street parking on your rental, you will likely attract more families. </span></p>
  60. <h3><b>Use Fencing to Boost the Curb Appeal</b></h3>
  61. <p><span style="font-weight: 400">As a landlord, you want your property to look appealing to prospective tenants from both inside and outside. Erecting a </span><a href="https://www.allamericanfence.com/services/chain-link-fence/lucerne-valley-ca"><span style="font-weight: 400">custom-built fence</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400"> that matches your house’s other architectural elements increases the home’s curb appeal, making it stand out among the other properties. Even if it lacks some of the family-friendly features on this list, that alone will get the attention of family home hunters. A fence also keeps children safe when playing outside.</span></p>
  62. <h3><b>Sufficient Yard Space</b></h3>
  63. <p><img decoding="async" class="alignnone  wp-image-298" src="https://i0.wp.com/homegarden.world/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/sieuwert-otterloo-aren8nutd1Q-unsplash.jpg?resize=602%2C402&#038;ssl=1" alt="" width="602" height="402" srcset="https://i0.wp.com/homegarden.world/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/sieuwert-otterloo-aren8nutd1Q-unsplash.jpg?resize=300%2C200&amp;ssl=1 300w, https://i0.wp.com/homegarden.world/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/sieuwert-otterloo-aren8nutd1Q-unsplash.jpg?resize=1024%2C683&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https://i0.wp.com/homegarden.world/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/sieuwert-otterloo-aren8nutd1Q-unsplash.jpg?resize=768%2C512&amp;ssl=1 768w, https://i0.wp.com/homegarden.world/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/sieuwert-otterloo-aren8nutd1Q-unsplash.jpg?resize=1536%2C1024&amp;ssl=1 1536w, https://i0.wp.com/homegarden.world/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/sieuwert-otterloo-aren8nutd1Q-unsplash.jpg?resize=446%2C297&amp;ssl=1 446w, https://i0.wp.com/homegarden.world/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/sieuwert-otterloo-aren8nutd1Q-unsplash.jpg?w=1920&amp;ssl=1 1920w, https://i0.wp.com/homegarden.world/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/sieuwert-otterloo-aren8nutd1Q-unsplash.jpg?w=1640&amp;ssl=1 1640w" sizes="(max-width: 602px) 100vw, 602px" data-recalc-dims="1" /></p>
  64. <p><span style="font-weight: 400">Every renter appreciates outdoor space. For families, a nice yard with a patio and well-mowed grass for children to play on is a highly desirable addition to a home. As children grow and require more space to run, ride bicycles, and play games like tag, every family starts to see the need for a safe and spacious yard. A lovely outdoor space also comes in handy for families that enjoy doing weekend barbecues and other outdoor activities.</span></p>
  65. <h3><b>Strategic Location</b></h3>
  66. <p><span style="font-weight: 400">Families find great value in residing near good nurseries and schools, as well as nice family recreational spots like parks and cinemas. The benefit of a house in a suburb or town is that such amenities are nearby. It’s particularly convenient when they are within walking distance. That is especially important for schools, as it saves families a lot of money in kids’ transportation expenses. If you’re thinking about buying a house to rent out, situate your property in a great location and you’ll have lots of families asking to rent it.</span></p>
  67. <h3><b>Accept Pets</b></h3>
  68. <p><span style="font-weight: 400">Many families feel that pets like cats and dogs are another member of the family. Unfortunately, some landlords ban pets due to the damage they can cause to property. If you are in a state that </span><a href="https://www.nolo.com/legal-encyclopedia/chart-security-deposit-limits-state-29020.html"><span style="font-weight: 400">caps the rental deposit</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400">, you are understandably afraid that the amount of damage a dog or cat can do may surpass the value of the rental deposit. </span></p>
  69. <p><span style="font-weight: 400">Although the reasoning behind prohibiting pets is logical, many families prefer </span><a href="https://homegarden.world/the-best-pet-friendly-cities-tips-for-finding-the-best-places-to-live-with-your-pet/"><span style="font-weight: 400">properties that allow pets</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400">. Most state laws allow you to charge a percentage pet deposit. That should incentivize your tenants to monitor the destruction their pets cause and give you the peace of mind to allow them to keep pets on your property. That way, your rental house becomes more attractive to family renters. </span></p>
  70. <h3><b>Some Flexibility</b></h3>
  71. <p><span style="font-weight: 400">Lastly, you must be flexible if you want the families renting your house to make it their long-term home. They may want to make a few modifications to your property to make it exciting and homely for the kids. These may include painting different rooms in different colors, mounting TVs on walls, and anchoring hooks on your walls strong enough to hold giant artwork in </span><a href="https://www.customframestore.com/custom-framing-coupons/"><span style="font-weight: 400">custom framing</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400">. </span></p>
  72. <p><span style="font-weight: 400">While they may find these changes necessary, the next tenant might not need them. Therefore, as much as you should allow alterations, you must make it clear that tenants have to fill in any holes and repaint the house to the original colors if they move. This degree of flexibility will consistently earn you long-term family tenants. </span></p>
  73. <h3><b>Final Thoughts</b></h3>
  74. <p><span style="font-weight: 400">Families are among the most reliable groups of renters. Most will move in and ensure you have a steady rental income for several years. To attract this segment of tenants, you need to make your property as homely as possible. Do not be too economical with your space, ensure the outdoors are child-friendly, and try to acquire property in strategic locations. </span></p>

  163. <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><span style="font-weight: 400">Your roof is a steadfast guardian of your home. It stands tall against the battering winds and lashing rains, like a brave knight protecting its castle. But even the most valiant knights need some care to stay strong. By giving your roof the attention it deserves, you&#8217;re not just extending its life; you&#8217;re ensuring a fortress of safety for your family and possessions.</span></p>
  164. <h2><b>Regular Inspections and Maintenance</b></h2>
  165. <p><span style="font-weight: 400">People believe their roof is in excellent condition until they find out it isn’t. It might look great, but weaknesses or damaged spots are hidden beneath the obvious, which can be disastrous during a storm. There may be leaks everywhere, but you might not know about them, mainly because no one enters the attic during a storm.</span></p>
  166. <p><span style="font-weight: 400">A good idea would be to get the structure inspected regularly, spotting any signs of early issues such as leaks. This way, roofing leak specialists can address the problems before they become serious. Ideally, these inspections should be done once a year, but you can do it any time you notice a missing shingle or suspect an issue.</span></p>
  167. <h2><b>Proper Ventilation and Insulation</b></h2>
  168. <p><span style="font-weight: 400">Now, think of your attic as a cozy cabin in the woods, with its ventilation and insulation acting as the hearth&#8217;s roaring fire, keeping you warm on chilly nights and cool on scorching days. </span><span style="font-weight: 400">Good ventilation</span><span style="font-weight: 400"> is like the gentle breeze that whispers through the trees, ensuring the air circulates freely and preventing your attic from turning into an oppressive sauna or a frosty ice cave. And insulation? It&#8217;s like wrapping your home in a snug blanket, shielding it from the harsh elements. So, let your attic breathe easy, and keep it snug as a bug in a rug.</span></p>
  169. <p><span style="font-weight: 400">Remember, your roof is like a shield that guards your home against the ravages of nature. By treating it with care and respect, you can ensure it remains a steadfast protector for the foreseeable future of your home.</span></p>
  170. <h2><b>Addressing Drainage Issues</b></h2>
  171. <p><span style="font-weight: 400">You might think that the gutters are the last item to worry about when maintaining the roof, but it’s, in fact, the most important. The gutters cannot drain the rainwater when clogged with leaves and dirt. And when the rainwater has nowhere else to go, it becomes trouble. It will seep into the structure’s wood. </span></p>
  172. <p><span style="font-weight: 400">In time, this can cause one of the most irreversible types of damage: rot. If you do not have any trees nearby, cleaning the gutters every few years is usually enough. Still, if you do have trees, try to clean them once around 3 to 6 months. You should increase the frequency during the fall months.</span></p>
  173. <h2><b>Avoid Power Washing</b></h2>
  174. <p><span style="font-weight: 400">Power washing has become a trendy way of cleaning every part of the house, from the walls to the patio and the fence. Due to its ability to clean fast and deep, many decide to use this method on the roof as well, as an attempt to restore its color. It dislodges dirt, moss, and leaves, making everything look as good as new. </span></p>
  175. <p><span style="font-weight: 400">The problem is that you can easily choose the wrong setting if you are not a professional. In an attempt to clean, you could remove the top coat, which can shorten the life of your roof. You can go for a leaf blower or a broom instead, but you should also be extra careful and call a specialist. Otherwise, you might end up putting yourself in danger.</span></p>
  176. <h2><b>Address Repairs Immediately</b></h2>
  177. <p><span style="font-weight: 400">We all have those moments when we see a problem, but it’s not big enough to cause discomfort. Perhaps there’s a leak somewhere in the attic, but since it doesn’t get in the house, there’s no sense of urgency yet. However, that small leak might become major when the next storm comes around, leading to more difficult and expensive repairs. </span></p>
  178. <p><span style="font-weight: 400">The faster you address even the tiniest issue, the less likely it will be for the damage to grow. Call on </span><a href="https://dependableroofing.biz/leak-repairs/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><span style="font-weight: 400">roofing leak specialists</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400"> the moment you notice the probe. It may seem like a premature expense, but it can save lots of money and the roof’s life in the long run.</span></p>

  270. <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><span style="font-weight: 400">Whether you’re a writer, designer, crafter, musician, or another kind of artist, you know that having a personalized creative space goes a long way toward inspiring you to create your best work. From the kitchen nook or living room to the extra room in your home, working on your craft requires a space that speaks to you.</span></p>
  271. <p><span style="font-weight: 400">If you’re considering a creative space makeover, or you’re only now putting your space together, it’s time to talk about personalizing your space to ensure it’s comfortable for you to work in and encourages productivity and efficiency. Even if you’re not a career artist, having a dedicated area for creative hobbies can put you in a better mood.</span></p>
  272. <p><span style="font-weight: 400">So what does having a creative space really mean, and how do you personalize it? Take a look at some of the ideas below to get you started on the journey to inspiration!</span></p>
  273. <h2><b>What Is A Creative Space?</b></h2>
  274. <p><span style="font-weight: 400">What it means to have a creative space centers around the use of a particular area in your home or office. You want this space to be exclusively for your creative needs — no crossovers for other work or household duties! Designate an area in your home for your creativity and ensure a boundary that leaves everything else at the door.</span></p>
  275. <ul>
  276. <li>
  277. <h2><b>Lighting</b></h2>
  278. </li>
  279. </ul>
  280. <p><span style="font-weight: 400">The most important thing in any creative space is lighting. Whether it’s exclusively </span><a href="https://www.colorcord.com/blogs/lighting-design-blog/your-complete-guide-to-art-studio-lighting"><span style="font-weight: 400">art studio lighting</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400"> or a combination of natural lights and custom fixtures, you need to be able to see what you’re working on. Assess your natural light opportunities and then supplement them with ambient, task, and accent lighting that best suits the work you’re doing. Layered lighting provides you with versatility, as well.</span></p>
  281. <p><span style="font-weight: 400">Studies also show that the right kind of lighting can change your mood and even make you feel more energized. You may want to avoid the electronic blue lights, like those from your laptop, and bring in a lot of amber and natural-feeling light bulbs.</span></p>
  282. <p><span style="font-weight: 400">You can also take your personalization here to the max when you explore unique fixture shapes, finishes, colors, and shades that speak to your aesthetic. Do you love an industrial vibe? Consider a raw metal fixture with a conical metal shade. Do you prefer more of a retro or mid-century modern look? A copper hinged wall sconce with a glass globe shade can diffuse your light and add a dose of personality to your space. What’s more, is that more and more options are available that don’t require hard-wiring or remodeling your room, with plug-in options available in just as many unique designs as traditional fixtures.</span></p>
  283. <ul>
  284. <li>
  285. <h2><b>Furniture</b></h2>
  286. </li>
  287. </ul>
  288. <figure id="attachment_287" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-287" style="width: 300px" class="wp-caption alignnone"><img decoding="async" class="size-medium wp-image-287" src="https://i0.wp.com/homegarden.world/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/wes-hicks-MEL-jJnm7RQ-unsplash.jpg?resize=300%2C200&#038;ssl=1" alt="music room" width="300" height="200" srcset="https://i0.wp.com/homegarden.world/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/wes-hicks-MEL-jJnm7RQ-unsplash.jpg?resize=300%2C200&amp;ssl=1 300w, https://i0.wp.com/homegarden.world/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/wes-hicks-MEL-jJnm7RQ-unsplash.jpg?resize=1024%2C683&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https://i0.wp.com/homegarden.world/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/wes-hicks-MEL-jJnm7RQ-unsplash.jpg?resize=768%2C512&amp;ssl=1 768w, https://i0.wp.com/homegarden.world/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/wes-hicks-MEL-jJnm7RQ-unsplash.jpg?resize=1536%2C1024&amp;ssl=1 1536w, https://i0.wp.com/homegarden.world/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/wes-hicks-MEL-jJnm7RQ-unsplash.jpg?resize=446%2C297&amp;ssl=1 446w, https://i0.wp.com/homegarden.world/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/wes-hicks-MEL-jJnm7RQ-unsplash.jpg?w=1920&amp;ssl=1 1920w, https://i0.wp.com/homegarden.world/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/wes-hicks-MEL-jJnm7RQ-unsplash.jpg?w=1640&amp;ssl=1 1640w" sizes="(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px" data-recalc-dims="1" /><figcaption id="caption-attachment-287" class="wp-caption-text">hobby corner</figcaption></figure>
  289. <p><span style="font-weight: 400">Finding the right furniture is also a key part of personalizing your space — especially since you’ll need pieces that facilitate your everyday creative tasks. Most people would assume that a desk is essential, but what if you prefer lounging or walking while working on your computer? A treadmill desk or other mobile option works better for you. Standing desks, drawing tables, and easel tables also are all surface options that allow for more flexibility. Don’t choose a small or short piece that forces you to bow over your desk and strain your neck. Measure your work area and provide a place for yourself that supports good posture.</span></p>
  290. <p><span style="font-weight: 400">Equally important pieces of furniture are the chairs you choose. You’ll need something ergonomic that supports you as you write, paint, or sculpt. Some chairs come with moveable parts that adjust as you do, others help you roll around from spot to spot, and some even come with a lounge capacity so you can lay back and take a break as needed.</span></p>
  291. <p><span style="font-weight: 400">You’ll also want to consider your aesthetic here and choose furnishings that you find beautiful and inviting.</span></p>
  292. <ul>
  293. <li>
  294. <h2><b>Decor Accents &amp; Details</b></h2>
  295. </li>
  296. </ul>
  297. <p><span style="font-weight: 400">From door knobs and curtain rods to rugs, curtains, and plants, details matter. Deciding which decor accents will complete your design will ensure your space inspires you visually and lifts your mood. Depending on your preferences, you may need </span><a href="https://doorlocksdirect.com/blog/5-expert-tips-for-installing-a-new-door-lock-by-yourself/"><span style="font-weight: 400">expert tips in installing door locks</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400"> or a list of which plants thrive best indoors or with minimal lighting, so do some research into your interests and what it will take to incorporate every accent that speaks to you.</span></p>
  298. <ul>
  299. <li>
  300. <h2><b>Stay Organized</b></h2>
  301. </li>
  302. </ul>
  303. <p><span style="font-weight: 400">Organizing your materials is an essential part of personalizing your creative space. If you have a particularly small area to work in, </span><a href="https://www.bhg.com/decorating/storage/organization-basics/small-space-organizing-ideas/"><span style="font-weight: 400">space-saving organization</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400"> could be a life-saver — and it doesn’t need to cost a lot of money. You can source a ton of containers and cubbies from materials you already use every day.</span></p>
  304. <p><span style="font-weight: 400">Use the glass jars that food comes in for holding brushes and pencils. Ask your local liquor store for their wine crates and use them to store larger items. Look around your home for items you normally throw away once their original use is done and repurpose them in your studio.</span></p>
  305. <ul>
  306. <li>
  307. <h2><b>Inspire Yourself</b></h2>
  308. </li>
  309. </ul>
  310. <p><span style="font-weight: 400">After creating an organizational plan for your space and choosing those big pieces, like furniture and lighting, it’s time to incorporate a few additional items that will give you that motivational spark. While your chosen decor and accessories can be part of that, leaving room for your own creations can be key.</span></p>
  311. <p><span style="font-weight: 400">When you’re planning out your interior decor, leave space to display and record your own work. You can look at these for inspiration, explore old concepts and themes further as they relate to new work, and simply display the pieces of which you’re most proud. For some artists, displaying their work is the most important element of personalizing their creative space. If this sounds like you, it might be a good idea to prioritize this task first and build furniture, lighting, and accent decor around your favorite works.</span></p>
  312. <ul>
  313. <li>
  314. <h2><b>Clock Out</b></h2>
  315. </li>
  316. </ul>
  317. <p><span style="font-weight: 400">Clocking out doesn’t mean you stop working! Here, it means removing most of the timepieces from your space. Sometimes, you don’t want a reminder of time constraints to keep your creativity from flourishing so make sure any clocks in your space are subtle. Don’t distract yourself from your work with the relentless marching of the minutes — true art takes as long as it takes!</span></p>
  318. <h2><b>Achieve Your Creative Flow</b></h2>
  319. <p><span style="font-weight: 400">When you personalize your creative space, you achieve a certain flow that truly allows you to let loose and free yourself from distractions and interruptions. With the tips above, you can optimize your space — no matter how big or small — to ensure it’s designed for </span><i><span style="font-weight: 400">your</span></i><span style="font-weight: 400"> creative needs and goals.</span></p>
  320. <p><span style="font-weight: 400">So, how are you designing your space? Share your best ideas to help others achieve their own vibe.</span></p>

  412. <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Your home is not just where you hang your hat; it is the ultimate expression of who you are. While some people enjoy following the trends, customized home decor can make your space truly memorable. But when it comes to custom decorations, people have a lot of misconceptions. Many think that personalization is out of their budget or that it may not be tasteful or inviting. Neither of those ideas could be further from the truth.</p>
  413. <p>Customized home decor can be as subtle or bold as your personality. It can be as simple as engraved plates or as complex as blue ombre cabinets. It all depends on you and what makes you feel like you are at home. Here are some great ways to use customized home decor to bring your design concepts to life.</p>
  414. <h2><b>Personalized Accessories </b></h2>
  415. <p><img decoding="async" src="https://images.unsplash.com/photo-1593782833523-08cec95e5118?q=80&amp;w=1000&amp;auto=format&amp;fit=crop&amp;ixlib=rb-4.0.3&amp;ixid=M3wxMjA3fDB8MHxwaG90by1wYWdlfHx8fGVufDB8fHx8fA%3D%3D" alt="gray and white floral throw pillow" /></p>

  417. <p>Custom home decor accessories are excellent for those who want something extra but may not have the option to make a significant change. For those who are a little crafty, art created from concerts, theater, or sports tickets can make a room full of memories. Throw pillows made from special shirts can make a space feel cozy. Even something as simple as wooden initials hung on the wall can make a room feel like it belongs to you.</p>
  418. <p>Professionally engraved kitchen decor is a great way to elevate your style. An <a href="https://www.palmettowoodshop.com/products/personalized-engraved-bamboo-cutting-board">engraved bamboo cutting board</a> is excellent for chopping vegetables but also impressive for entertaining. Serving your guests cheese and appetizers on a board personalized with your initials or favorite saying makes for a memorable presentation. Engraved tableware and glasses can make even the most casual get-together an elegant event.</p>
  419. <p>There are limitless options for personalized home accessories. From the old tried and true monogrammed towels to the latest trend of custom scrabble tile photo collages, these decor options are timeless. They also make excellent gifts for any occasion.</p>
  420. <h2><b>Color</b></h2>
  421. <p><img decoding="async" src="https://images.unsplash.com/photo-1560204717-850e441065fd?q=80&amp;w=1000&amp;auto=format&amp;fit=crop&amp;ixlib=rb-4.0.3&amp;ixid=M3wxMjA3fDB8MHxwaG90by1wYWdlfHx8fGVufDB8fHx8fA%3D%3D" alt="assorted green-leafed plants" /></p>

  423. <p>Color is one of the easiest and most cost-effective ways to customize your home. While it is tempting to use the hottest colors of the season, you can create a more authentic space by using colors that speak to your personal style. Color affects you psychologically and should mirror the feel you want for your space.</p>
  424. <p>If you have an active lifestyle and eclectic tastes, there may be better choices than gray for a living area. In turn, someone who wants a calm, cozy environment would find a vivid yellow painted wall uncomfortable. <a href="https://www.hgtv.com/design/decorating/color/how-to-choose-a-color-scheme-pictures">Pick the color</a> that works with what you like and how you want people to feel in your home.</p>
  425. <p>Although you may want a big, colorful space or a moody environment, color may be intimidating. Some colors may be too overwhelming for an entire room, but color accents can be just as effective in creating a mood. An accent wall can show off the colors of a favorite sports team, and a brightly colored throw can bring the most basic couch to life. And in some cases, just a touch of color can be a powerful statement. A stark white room with a bright red throw rug can be a bolder statement than an entirely red room.</p>
  426. <p>But if you want a bigger splash, multi-colored accessories can bring a theme to the most neutral room. Designers swear by the <a href="https://www.livingetc.com/news/expert-rule-of-three-design-tips-natural-colors">rule of three</a> for creating a balanced mood. Let’s say you want to give your room a tropical feel because you love the beach, but you just don’t want to replace your neutral <a href="https://www.chichome.com/">luxury furniture</a> because you want versatility. A cool aqua-blue rug, paired with a sunny yellow throw and beachy peach accent pillows, can take you to Key West without a plane ticket or a significant room overhaul.</p>
  427. <h2><b>Designer Pieces </b></h2>
  428. <p><img decoding="async" src="https://images.unsplash.com/photo-1638447093672-c97c2d72b5d0?q=80&amp;w=1000&amp;auto=format&amp;fit=crop&amp;ixlib=rb-4.0.3&amp;ixid=M3wxMjA3fDB8MHxwaG90by1wYWdlfHx8fGVufDB8fHx8fA%3D%3D" alt="a white vase with a pink flower in it" /></p>

  430. <p>For those who want classic decor with a personalized touch, designer pieces are the perfect way to put your stamp on the traditional. Designers use unexpected shapes and textures to update standard items, and these items can give your home a custom look. Think about <a href="https://maryjurekdesign.com/product-category/trays-platters/">beautiful trays and platters</a> in modern shapes with leather and copper finishes, paper towel holders wrapped with gold accents, or pop art-themed tissue boxes. These small items can turn any room into a <a href="https://homegarden.world/how-to-create-a-gallery-wall-tips-for-artful-home-decor/">private art gallery</a>.</p>
  431. <p>Designer furniture pieces are a great way to personalize a space if you want more drama, and a chair in your favorite color or an exciting antique can take your room to the next level. Designers actually recommend mixing periods for a truly customized look.</p>
  432. <p>And don’t be afraid to experiment! Use a unique frame to hang your favorite movie poster or an upscale accessory in a casual room. People will appreciate your customized home decor if you are true to yourself and your vision because people appreciate you!</p>
  433. <h2><b>Architecture </b></h2>
  434. <p><img decoding="async" src="https://images.unsplash.com/photo-1422818159909-e2fc50042acb?q=80&amp;w=1000&amp;auto=format&amp;fit=crop&amp;ixlib=rb-4.0.3&amp;ixid=M3wxMjA3fDB8MHxwaG90by1wYWdlfHx8fGVufDB8fHx8fA%3D%3D" alt="brown brick floor and white wall paint" /></p>
  435. <p><em>Photo by Manu Schwendener on </em><a href="https://unsplash.com/photos/brown-brick-floor-and-white-wall-paint-g0OT8TogXng"><em>Unsplash</em></a></p>
  436. <p>Sometimes, more of a change is needed to customize your home decor. For the ultimate in personalization, a visit from a contractor is in order. A contractor can install gallery lighting and display systems if you love art. If you are a collector, a contractor can build your custom organization system. Trusted professionals can help you take your customized home decor from concept to creation.</p>
  437. <p>The most popular way to customize your home is by <a href="https://www.ezplans.com/blog/2023/08/31/2024-kitchen-trends/">kitchen remodeling</a>. Kitchens are a place to gather, and by adding seating, updated lighting, or even something as simple as a new black splash, you can create an environment for family and friends that expresses who you are. And so many of life’s best moments happen when everyone gathers in the kitchen. It truly is the heart of the home.</p>
  438. <p>And as a bonus, a remodel can add value to your home. Updating kitchens, bathrooms, and exteriors can make your home a better place for you and a more attractive place for buyers. Just remember to consult with the professionals to ensure you get the best return on your investment.</p>
  439. <h2><b>A Space That’s Uniquely You</b></h2>
  440. <p>When you create a personalized environment, your house evolves into a home. It becomes another extension of your personality and charm. If you have a clear concept and a strong sense of self, you can create unforgettable moments for friends and family with customized home decor.</p>

  534. <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Transforming your property into an Airbnb rental has a lot of moving parts, from amenities to area attractions to nuts and bolts like toiletries and kitchen staples. People choose Airbnb properties for the personalization and thoughtful touches that can’t be found in hotels, bed and breakfasts, and other short-term accommodations.</p>
  535. <p>But most of all, those who book Airbnbs desire luxurious amenities that set the property apart. Investing in your old house by adding these singular DIY luxuries will pay dividends in happy guests, great reviews, and maybe even Superhost status!</p>
  536. <p>So, let me share five luxurious DIY projects to transform your old house into a sought-after Airbnb property that draws in your rental market with superior amenities.</p>
  537. <h2><b>Before You Get Started</b></h2>
  538. <p>Before ramping up your Airbnb transformation, consider the competition in the immediate market. Are you aware of other rental properties in your area? Have you researched competitor rentals and the amenities they offer? What stood out about them for the guests who left reviews?</p>
  539. <p>Also, Airbnb and other short-term rental services are now <a href="https://hospitable.com/airbnb-restrictions/">restricted in some US cities</a>. Know the status of your location. Also, if your old house is mortgaged, it’s advisable to check in with your lender to make sure you’re not prohibited from transforming your old house into an Airbnb. Know the rules, regulations, and local ordinances applying to short-term rentals before proceeding.</p>
  540. <p>Once you’ve got your regulatory ducks in a row, you can get down to serious business. So, here are five luxurious DIY projects to transform your old house, starting with an amenity that’s having a renaissance, especially in the short-term rental market.</p>
  541. <h2><b>1. The Scando Swag of a Sauna</b></h2>
  542. <p><img decoding="async" class="aligncenter" src="https://images.unsplash.com/photo-1583417657209-d3dd44dc9c09?q=80&amp;w=1000&amp;auto=format&amp;fit=crop&amp;ixlib=rb-4.0.3&amp;ixid=M3wxMjA3fDB8MHxwaG90by1wYWdlfHx8fGVufDB8fHx8fA%3D%3D" alt="brown wooden round table near gray concrete wall" /></p>

  544. <p>The Scandinavians know how to live. From Denmark’s “hygge” to Finland’s health-enhancing sauna, the gifts of Scandinavia go well beyond IKEA. And the sauna is making a comeback! This trend of home saunas began during the pandemic and its mandated cocooning shows no sign of slowing down. Consumer demand for experiencing spa-like amenities as part of their Airbnb stay makes installing a sauna the ideal DIY project. Here’s how to go about it:</p>
  545. <p><b>Step 1: Select the Right Location</b></p>
  546. <p>A secluded place with enough room would be the most ideal location. Utilize the spacious bathroom or convert the basement. You can also build out an affordable sauna as a detached, outdoor space, adding it to an al fresco entertaining and relaxation area.</p>
  547. <p><b>Step 2: Decide on the Sauna Type</b></p>
  548. <p>Infrared saunas are easier to work with, heat up faster, and are more effective, but traditional saunas with a stove or heated rocks offer a more authentic experience.</p>
  549. <p><b>Step 3: Choose Your Materials</b></p>
  550. <p>If you’re handy with tools and don’t mind putting in some time and effort, go ahead and build a sauna from scratch. Otherwise, a DIY sauna kit is the easiest to set up. Cedarwood is the popular choice for walls and benches because it’s resistant to moisture and warping but pine, poplar, and hemlock are some other options. You can choose either tile, concrete, or wood for the flooring. For traditional saunas, you’ll also need a sauna heater or stove, and sauna stones. For infrared ones, you’ll need suitable wiring and infrared lamps.</p>
  551. <p><b>Step 4: Plan the Layout</b></p>
  552. <p>With DIY kits, you’ll have a pre-planned layout at your disposal. If you’re building from scratch, consider the placement of the benches, the heating elements, lighting, towel racks, and any additional features you want to include. Add a floor-to-ceiling window to create a unique experience guests are guaranteed to love.</p>
  553. <p><b>Step 5: Follow All Safety Considerations and Assemble</b></p>
  554. <p>Safety is paramount while using a sauna, so ensure proper insulation with fiberglass, aluminum vapor barrier for the floor and walls, vents near the floor and ceiling, and a timer and temperature control system. Get the electrical wiring inspected by professionals as well.</p>
  555. <p>Finally, follow the manufacturer’s instructions or your custom plan to set up the sauna and offer spa-like luxury to your guests. The sauna renaissance is relatively new, so be an Airbnb first mover and offer this sought-after amenity.</p>
  556. <h2><b>2. Crisp, Clean, and Bright &#8211; The Welcoming Kitchen</b></h2>
  557. <p><img decoding="async" class="aligncenter" src="https://images.unsplash.com/photo-1609280069678-ab9ef26a0b05?q=80&amp;w=1000&amp;auto=format&amp;fit=crop&amp;ixlib=rb-4.0.3&amp;ixid=M3wxMjA3fDB8MHxwaG90by1wYWdlfHx8fGVufDB8fHx8fA%3D%3D" alt="brown and white pendant lamp" /></p>

  559. <p>Because your house is older, leverage its period characteristics. Airbnb guests delight in heritage buildings, so leave those architectural details as they are and add a fresh finish with some DIY upgrades like these:</p>
  560. <p><b>Switch Out Tired Countertops </b>&#8211; Give your kitchen an upgrade with new marble, quartz, or granite countertops. If the countertops are still in good shape, take advantage of DIY countertop refinishing kits to give them a brand-new look.</p>
  561. <p><b>Give a White Paint Facelift</b> &#8211; Keep the look crisp, clean, and bright with white paint, accented by either varnished wood or contrasting paint color. Even older kitchen cupboards can be salvaged with the crisp, clean finish provided by white paint.</p>
  562. <p><b>Install a Fireclay Sink</b> &#8211; The sink is a focal point (especially if located under a window, which is often the case in older homes), so add a <a href="https://www.builderssurplus.net/kitchen-sinks/">stainless steel farmhouse sink</a>. A heritage-inspired detail, fireclay is a durable material resistant to high traffic and extreme heat. It will serve your property for many years while adding to its vintage appeal. Best of all, fireclay sinks are inexpensive!</p>
  563. <p><b>Replace Worn Hardware</b> &#8211; Cabinet knobs, pulls, and other hardware can be easily switched out to give your old kitchen an instant glow-up. Stainless steel is a classic, durable choice but if you’re going for a rustic look then materials like chrome, nickel, and wood will offer more customization options.</p>
  564. <p><b>Illuminate With Light Fixtures</b> &#8211; Bid <i>adieu</i> to your dated light fixtures and take the modern route with crystal fixtures, chandeliers, and pendant lights with warm hues for a homely atmosphere. Under-cabinet lighting is another thoughtful detail that will improve visibility and make your kitchen a pleasure to use.</p>
  565. <p><b>Add a Backsplash of Color</b> &#8211; Peel-and-stick backsplashes are so easy to install, even a novice DIY-er can do it. It’s a fantastic, mess-free alternative to traditional tile backsplashes, and looks just as luxe when done right. Make sure you coordinate the color with other elements of your kitchen.</p>
  566. <p>And don’t forget that no matter how glamorously you update your kitchen, your guests won’t be happy unless it’s well-equipped for their stay. So, stock that kitchen with <a href="https://www.firesideappliance.com/appliances/kitchen/">essential appliances</a>, cooking utensils, pantry supplies like coffee, tea, sugar, salt, bottled water, milk, and maybe a half dozen eggs, and a welcome basket containing some local treats (jam, honey, crackers, energy bars, seasonal fruit) as a special gesture. The kitchen is the home’s heart, so engineer its embrace of your guests to be a big and warm one.</p>
  567. <h2><b>3. A Grand Entrance</b></h2>
  568. <p><img decoding="async" src="https://images.unsplash.com/photo-1626556363112-84e3e1c82e1c?q=80&amp;w=1000&amp;auto=format&amp;fit=crop&amp;ixlib=rb-4.0.3&amp;ixid=M3wxMjA3fDB8MHxwaG90by1wYWdlfHx8fGVufDB8fHx8fA%3D%3D" alt="red wooden door with green leaves" /></p>
  569. <p>Photo by Lea on <a href="https://unsplash.com/photos/red-wooden-door-with-green-leaves-3bm_cr95Q0Q">Unsplash</a></p>
  570. <p>First impressions are lasting impressions, so a grand entrance is in order. The approach to your property should be:</p>
  571. <ul>
  572. <li>A preview of what guests will experience inside</li>
  573. <li>Well-lit and safe (no loose pavers on the front walk)</li>
  574. <li>A first impression that will last</li>
  575. </ul>
  576. <p><b>Create a Polished Walkway With Landscaping</b></p>
  577. <p>Whether your old house is a colonnaded extravaganza or a modest rancher, its entrance sets the tone. Pavers, flagstones, and brickwork combined with targeted landscaping are fairly straightforward DIY upgrades for an inviting first impression.</p>
  578. <p>While landscaping, native, low-maintenance vegetation is key to success, making the appearance of your property consistent from visit to visit. Try lining the walkway with plant beds inhabited by low-slung coniferous shrubs or grasses and succulents growing between strategically placed rocks.</p>
  579. <p><b>Repaint or Install a Statement Front Door</b></p>
  580. <p>One simple but impactful change you can make is <a href="https://www.hgtv.com/design/decorating/design-101/read-this-before-you-paint-your-front-door">painting your front door</a>. Paint it a bright, standout color. Red is the classic but any color will do in a rich lacquer that distinguishes it from the rest of the house. Symbolic of hospitality, your front door sends a welcoming message when painted to stand out.</p>
  581. <p>For a more serious lift to the facade, consider replacing the door entirely with something more befitting the old heritage aesthetic, such as a double hardwood door, if the space allows. Also, install a keyless entry to make your guest check-in experience utterly seamless.</p>
  582. <p>Metal house numbers in lieu of traditional house plates along with groups of attractive plants on the landing can also help you increase crucial eye appeal. Also make sure your exteriors are maintained to the standards your guests expect, with windows neatly painted and sparkling.</p>
  583. <p><b>Guide the Way With Outdoor Lighting</b></p>
  584. <p>To illuminate your walkway for night check-ins, try either solar or LED lighting. Flexible LED ropes can be wound through your plant beds for an almost ethereal effect that still provides sufficient light for guests to find their way to your brightly-colored front door. To save on electricity bills, invest in a transformer with built-in timers.</p>
  585. <h2><b>4. Create Bathroom Bliss</b></h2>

  588. <p>Just as the sauna answers guest demand for a spa-like experience, the bathroom provides an opportunity to add luxurious, over-the-top comfort. Like the kitchen, a crisp, clean look is valued in the bathroom but an air of serenity (following the “spa” theme) is also highly preferred. Here are some easy DIYs for a full makeover:</p>
  589. <p><b>Upgrade Fixtures</b> &#8211; If you haven’t replaced your fixtures in a while, now’s your shining moment to get it done. Installing a claw-foot tub or a modern freestanding tub is fairly easy if you have a helping hand. Make sure to choose durable materials, like acrylic, for your <a href="https://www.thespruce.com/best-bathtubs-4178494">bathtub</a>.</p>
  590. <p>As our theme is DIY, we’re going to stay within the realm of possibility. But if you’re knocking out a wall to put in a large tub with jacuzzi jets or a massive tiled shower with an adjustable water pressure shower head, please hire a contractor to get it just right.</p>
  591. <p><b>Install Heated Flooring</b> &#8211; Focusing again on DIY solutions, heated bathroom flooring is a pleasant surprise for your guests. There’s nothing more delicious than standing on a warm, cozy floor while performing your morning hygiene rituals.</p>
  592. <p>Once you have access to the subfloor, <a href="https://www.doityourself.com/stry/how-to-install-heated-bathroom-flooring#:~:text=How%20to%20Install%20Heated%20Bathroom%20Flooring%201%20Step,8%20Step%208%20-%20Hook%20Everything%20Up%20">installing a heated floor</a> is easier than you’d think if you have intermediate-level handyman skills. Some of the supplies you’ll need are radiant heating tiles, mortar, flooring, and basic tools like scissors, trowels, glue guns, and safety gear.</p>
  593. <p><b>Give Your Vanity a Makeover</b> &#8211; Give your guests a reason to admire themselves with a freshly-painted vanity that extends across one wall. Rich, dark colors like navy or cherry red look sophisticated against white flooring and walls but a soft pastel will add a touch of whimsy to the area. Install modern crystal or brass hardware and a striking backsplash for added elegance.</p>
  594. <p><b>Install Backlit Mirrors</b> &#8211; Choose mirrors made specifically for bathrooms, so they’ll withstand the heat and humidity. LED lighting installed behind each mirror creates a luxe, modern effect. Choose a warm, gold-toned lighting color, greeting your guests each morning with a satisfyingly flattering reflection of themselves!</p>
  595. <p><b>Add Luxury Accents</b> &#8211;  A simple DIY accent is creating a windowsill arboretum with bath-friendly plants like ferns and pothos. Place some mirror art and refresh the bath curtains and mats as well. And please don’t forget to change the locks. <a href="https://www.sugatsune.com/product-category/products/locks/">Door and cabinet locks</a> are of utmost importance.</p>

  601. <p>Anyone who’s ever traveled knows that falling asleep in a strange bed can be difficult. That’s even more the case if you’re worried about security. But with a few simple DIY installations, your guests will not only feel safe but also sleep soundly throughout the night.</p>
  602. <p><b>Must-Have Security Systems</b> &#8211; Your old house and the guests who stay in it will be much more secure with the addition of motion detector lighting, an alarm system, and external security cameras. If you already have systems in place, manage them intelligently. If you don’t, it’s time to grab a DIY home security system and install it, as security is a major concern for many Airbnb guests. Keep in mind that if your property is large, a DIY kit might not provide sufficient security.</p>
  603. <p><b>Luxe Window Overhaul</b> &#8211; Replace your windowpanes and repaint the frame or switch out your old windows completely if they’re too worn. Then grab some floor-length curtains made from opulent fabrics to give the windows a royal treatment. Exercise your sewing skills and add some ruffle and lace trim details. For small windows, stitch up Roman-style shades in a nice fabric.</p>
  604. <p><b>Upgrade Bed &amp; Bedding</b> &#8211; Glam up the bedroom with a luxurious DIY upholstered bed frame as the centerpiece. If you’re not too keen on carpentry, get a simple plywood frame and then put your DIY chops to use with some batting, muslin, and a sumptuous fabric of your choice such as velvet or linen. The muslin will go first followed by a few layers of batting and then the main outer fabric. Add embellishments like tufting and trim and a peel-and-stick ornate wallpaper behind the headboard to make it even more of a treat for the eyes.</p>
  605. <p>Finally, choose a quality mattress and linens in a high thread count cotton. Always pick white bed linens. White is a universal hallmark of fine hospitality. Add bolsters, throw cushions, and soft throws, and decorate with scented <a href="https://www.vickiesgifts.net/collections/fragrance">boutique candles</a> to signal the comforts of home sought by all Airbnb guests.</p>
  606. <h2><b>Becoming the Airbnb Host With the Most</b></h2>
  607. <p>These five luxurious DIY projects to transform your old house into a stellar Airbnb property can help make your place one that guests would prefer. But to really pull out the stops, superior customer service and hyper-responsiveness to guest questions are what will get you to Superhost status.</p>
  608. <p>So, get those regulatory ducks in a row, hire a contractor if you’re not dead sure about any given DIY project, and add the amenities that mean year-round guests. Start racking up those glowing reviews and before you know it, you’ll be a Superhost with a successful Airbnb!</p>

  701. <div class="resize-observable">An outdoor oasis is a personal space that can be anything you want it to be. It can be a place to relax and de-stress after a long day, or it can be a place to entertain friends and family. Whether you have a large backyard or a small patio, there are ways to create an outdoor oasis that you&#8217;ll love.</div>
  702. </div>
  703. <h2><b>Typical Outdoor Oasis Designs</b></h2>
  704. <p><span style="font-weight: 400">Your oasis is a personal space that can be anything you want. You might build it for a specific purpose or start as a lawn chair under a tree and evolve from there. However it begins or changes over time, it may include features like the following: </span></p>
  705. <p><b>Garden </b><span style="font-weight: 400">– A garden oasis may contain rare plants, potted herbs, trees, and <a href="https://homegarden.world/the-best-flowers-for-a-fragrant-garden/">flowers</a> in vertical or horizontal plots. Plan for plumbing, drainage, and electric power if you want options like automated watering, unique lights, and greenhouse features. </span></p>
  706. <p><b>Spa </b><span style="font-weight: 400">– Pools, jacuzzis, and hot tubs are relaxing and therapeutic and can be built into the ground or on top of a deck or foundation. They may include dry saunas, sweat lodges, and steam rooms. You will need electricity, plumbing, and adequate drainage.</span></p>
  707. <p><b>Cinema </b><span style="font-weight: 400">– Outdoor viewing of movies and shows is becoming an increasingly popular pastime. You’ll need a screen, projector, or suitable flatscreen television or monitor, seating, and a sound system. Electricity will be your primary concern.</span></p>
  708. <p><b>Dining </b><span style="font-weight: 400">– These include simple barbecue grills, brick ovens, minibars, full-featured outdoor kitchens, and more. You’ll want to plan for plumbing, wiring, drainage, and a way to handle waste. </span></p>
  709. <h2><b>Construction Tips</b></h2>
  710. <p><span style="font-weight: 400">The type of oasis you want will determine many aspects of construction. The floor, walls, and roof can make a big difference if you change your mind and want to add things later.</span></p>
  711. <h3><b>Floor</b></h3>
  712. <p><span style="font-weight: 400">Packed earth or crushed gravel are options but may not be suitable if you need features like wiring or plumbing. Wood, concrete, brick, and stone are common floor materials that are strong enough to support most upgrades, including walls. </span></p>
  713. <h3><b>Walls</b></h3>
  714. <p><span style="font-weight: 400">Along with shelter from wind, rain, and the sun, walls provide attachment points for fixtures and appliances. Walls provide opportunities for personalization with shelves, ledges, and other features, and strong walls are essential if you later decide you’d like to add a roof. </span></p>
  715. <h3><b>Roof</b></h3>
  716. <p><span style="font-weight: 400">Even the </span><a href="https://tula.house/blogs/plant-reads/the-best-plants-for-summertime"><span style="font-weight: 400">best summertime plants</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400"> and those native to your region may need shade, and your skin can use protection from harsh UV rays. A roof can help protect your furniture and appliances from the rain and make it easier to add things to our oasis in the future. Roofs may increase the number of days you can use your sanctuary, especially if you live in an area that experiences a lot of precipitation. </span></p>

  719. <h2><b>Upgrading Your Oasis</b></h2>
  720. <p><span style="font-weight: 400">Upgrades depend on what you have to work with.</span></p>
  721. <h3><b>Floor Upgrades</b></h3>
  722. <p><span style="font-weight: 400">Wooden decks are easy upgrades for packed earth and gravel floors. Add a raised platform or riser to any floor for live entertainment. Some floors can be upgraded with special coatings, tile, or indoor/outdoor carpeting. </span></p>
  723. <h3><b>Wall Upgrades</b></h3>
  724. <p><span style="font-weight: 400">Upgrades to walls include paint, light fixtures, motion detectors, surveillance cameras, artwork, and openings for windows and screens. </span></p>
  725. <h3><b>Roof Upgrades</b></h3>
  726. <p><span style="font-weight: 400">Putting time, energy, and resources into any outdoor oasis is a good </span><a href="https://www.retractableawnings.com/news/top-7-reasons-invest-high-quality-patio-or-deck-covering/"><span style="font-weight: 400">reason to invest in high-quality patio</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400">, porch, or pergola covers that can protect it. Automatic retractable covers are a popular upgrade and can open when the weather is nice and close when storms approach. </span></p>
  727. <h3><b>Other Upgrades</b></h3>
  728. <p><span style="font-weight: 400">While many upgrades can be added at any time, if your oasis lacks electric power or plumbing, you may want to add them first. </span><a href="https://activerain.com/blogsview/5801818/what-to-know-about-installing-solar-panels-at-your-house"><span style="font-weight: 400">Solar power</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400"> and WIFI are also popular options. These features will make other upgrades easier, like adding a sound system, for example, or any of the following:</span><span style="font-weight: 400"></p>
  729. <p></span></p>
  730. <ul>
  731. <li style="font-weight: 400"><span style="font-weight: 400">Ice machines</span></li>

  738. <li style="font-weight: 400"><span style="font-weight: 400">Water features. </span></li>
  739. </ul>
  740. <h2><b>Pergolas &amp; Gazebos &#8211; The Ultimate Oasis Upgrades?</b></h2>
  741. <p><span style="font-weight: 400">Pergolas and gazebos offer features that can turn a simple oasis into a luxury destination. They offer shade and rain protection and lots of upgrade potential. Most models are easy to build and don’t require </span><a href="https://www.ezplans.com/blog/2023/03/31/how-to-hire-an-architect/"><span style="font-weight: 400">hiring an architect</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400">, and they can be found in a variety of styles that match any home. </span></p>
  742. <p><span style="font-weight: 400">Depending on the model and the construction method, gazebos and pergolas may be permanent or temporary. Some models attach to a wall or a fence, and others are free-standing. </span></p>
  743. <h2><b>Plan, Build, Relax</b></h2>
  744. <p><span style="font-weight: 400">An outdoor oasis is a great place to relax and destress and may be the perfect place to enjoy nature. The right kind of construction may </span><span style="font-weight: 400">increase the value of your home</span><span style="font-weight: 400">. If you think about the activities that will take place in your oasis and plan accordingly, your sanctuary can include important features and luxury additions from the start. You’ll be able to enjoy your oasis sooner, and you won’t have to deal with unplanned construction, compromising your vision, or seemingly endless renovation tasks. </span></p>

  838. <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Mid-century modern has never been hotter, bringing the genius of a truly brilliant interior design era into the homes of the 21st century. But vintage and retro decor from a variety of eras continues to be one of the hottest trends for the home moving into 2024. Let’s look at how to unite nostalgia and style with vintage and retro home decor that says what you want it to say.</p>
  839. <h2><b>Vintage and Retro: What’s the Difference?</b></h2>
  840. <p>While “vintage” and “retro” are often used interchangeably, the words mean different things. So, let’s define our terms:</p>
  841. <ul>
  842. <li><b>Vintage</b>: An item that is more than 40 years old is vintage. It is original to the period.</li>
  843. <li><b>Retro</b>: An item that mimics the style of a previous era but which is a reproduction is retro.</li>
  844. </ul>
  845. <p>This distinction is important to keep in mind with respect to certain styles of furniture. That <a href="https://www.thespruce.com/how-to-identify-a-genuine-knoll-barcelona-chair-4136276">Mies van der Rohe Barcelona chair</a> may look like the real thing. More than likely, though, it’s a reproduction as this specific chair, as well as any of the popular models made by <a href="https://eames.com/en/articles/eameschair">Eames</a>, have been widely reproduced.</p>
  846. <h2><b>Where’s the Line? Kitsch vs. Style</b></h2>
  847. <p>You may love the look of a jumble of vintage and retro styles, tied together by color, pattern, and a personal gift for ferreting out hardy thrift finds from days gone by. But where do you draw the line when creating a vintage interior?</p>
  848. <p>For my money, the location of that mysterious line is somewhere between a crocheted doll to cover a spare roll of toilet paper and a bamboo tiki bar. That disputed expanse between kitsch and style will become clearer as you move forward with your design project.</p>
  849. <p>Avoiding the “kitsch” effect means choosing a dominant interior design era to draw from. <a href="https://homegarden.world/how-to-mix-old-and-new-home-decor-tips-for-a-vintage-and-modern-blend/">Pieces from other eras</a> may have a place in the overall scheme but anchor your decor with furniture from one specific era, tying together the disparate pieces with a distinct color scheme, patterns, and era-specific textures. And if you’re going to put artistic frames around your collection of <a href="https://fishandcoralstore.com/">Red Sea aquariums</a>, either respect the design era you’re working with or incorporate this detail as a “challenge” (see below).</p>
  850. <h2><b>Color and Pattern: Having a Moment</b></h2>
  851. <p><img decoding="async" src="https://images.unsplash.com/photo-1650137938625-11576502aecd?auto=format&amp;fit=crop&amp;q=80&amp;ixlib=rb-4.0.3&amp;ixid=M3wxMjA3fDB8MHxwaG90by1wYWdlfHx8fGVufDB8fHx8fA%3D%3D&amp;w=1000" alt="a living room filled with furniture and lots of windows" /></p>
  852. <p style="text-align: center"><em>Photo by Steph Wilson on <a href="https://unsplash.com/photos/G4fICun7Q48">Unsplash</a></em></p>
  853. <p>The importance of color and pattern in 2023 will only grow in the coming year. Color is vibrant, often biophilic, meaning “love of the natural, living world,” in hues like moss and leaf green, bark brown, lichen sage, and warm copper. But there has never been a better time to embrace color as experimental combinations are more popular and pleasantly surprising than ever.</p>
  854. <p><a href="https://www.color-meanings.com/vintage-color-palettes/">Every color you choose</a> to apply to your design scheme needn’t be associated with the specific era you’ve chosen as the lynchpin of that scheme. For example, the avocado, harvest gold, and burnt orange of the 1970s (mega-hot right now) can be modernized with splashes of teal, marine blue, or turquoise.</p>
  855. <p>Pattern is also growing in design influence into 2024, bleeding out from the enduring challenge of maximalism to minimalism. Items like <a href="https://monroeandleisure.com/collections/persian-bazaar">Persian rugs</a> are more sought after than ever, for this reason. The wallpaper styles that have emerged from this design movement are magnificently adapted to acting as backgrounds for your retro and vintage design efforts, creating a counterpoint that lifts retro and vintage decor to a new level.</p>
  856. <p>And wallpaper isn’t just for walls anymore. It’s gracing ceilings, cabinetry, and consoles, giving new life to vintage pieces and a cohesive look to your home interiors. There’s nothing old-fashioned about wallpaper. Rather, it’s now a distinct art form that’s coming into its own with some of the world’s most talented artists participating in its design.</p>
  857. <h2><b>Textures of the Times</b></h2>
  858. <p>In any room, texture is key for adding depth and interest, and every era has its specific textures. The Victorians were huge fans of lace and velvet. The 1970s were about macrame and all the natural textures our current design moment is obsessed with, through the biophilic interior design impulse.</p>
  859. <p>Knowing the specific era you’ve chosen for your overarching design message is about drilling down into the time period and understanding what appealed to design enthusiasts then. Understand the textures, then choose those most closely aligned with the rest of your design scheme. Look first to the era of your retro or vintage furnishings and second to color and pattern for inspiration.</p>
  860. <h2><b>Add a Challenge</b></h2>
  861. <p><img decoding="async" class="aligncenter" src="https://images.unsplash.com/photo-1675277719117-dfe34237199c?auto=format&amp;fit=crop&amp;q=80&amp;ixlib=rb-4.0.3&amp;ixid=M3wxMjA3fDB8MHxwaG90by1wYWdlfHx8fGVufDB8fHx8fA%3D%3D&amp;w=1000" alt="a living room with a brown leather couch and a potted plant" /></p>
  862. <p style="text-align: center"><em>Photo by Johnny Briggs on </em><a href="https://unsplash.com/photos/a-living-room-with-a-brown-leather-couch-and-a-potted-plant-yjG-AwsgOLs"><em>Unsplash</em></a></p>
  863. <p>A “challenge” in your decor scheme is a deviation that does nothing to disrupt the power of your design message. Rather, the challenge you throw into the mix defines the message, finishing it with an emphatic exclamation point!</p>
  864. <p>Because you’re bringing the past forward, whether with vintage or retro pieces, you’re free to play. Throw a piece of modern art into a room with vintage furniture from distant eras, like Georgian or Victorian. Add a cowskin rug to emphasize the design gauntlet you’ve thrown down. Or place a completely mad <a href="https://www.artsy.net/article/artsy-editorial-design-icon-ettore-sottsass">Ettore Sottsass</a> bookshelf from the 80s in a mid-century modern interior. Bend the era you’re working in by twisting the narrative.</p>
  865. <p>Add farmhouse <a href="https://www.houzersink.com/all-kitchen/">sink fixtures</a> to your ultramodern kitchen or a curvy copper bathtub to your slick 70s smoked glass, foil-wallpapered master bath. These little challenges, when done with a keen eye for balance, can add bold design flair.</p>
  866. <p>When you introduce nostalgia to style, you create vintage and retro home decor that’s innovative and alive with your vision. Take the time to create your decor scheme, then bend vintage and retro home decor to your stylish will!</p>

  957. <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="https://homegarden.world/how-to-stay-healthy-in-a-busy-world-tips-for-managing-work-life-balance/"><span style="font-weight: 400">Staying healthy in this fast-paced world</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400"> is crucial. And going on a healing retreat is one way to achieve it. Healing retreats focus on temporarily recovering and refreshing your mind, body, and spirit while providing a break from demanding responsibilities. This article will go over the significance of healing retreats, as well as their advantages and potentially life-altering experiences.</span></p>
  958. <p><span style="font-weight: 400">A healing retreat is an ideal way to embrace self-care and reveal a healthier, more balanced you, whether looking for relaxation, rejuvenation or a comprehensive approach to well-being.</span></p>
  959. <h2><span style="font-weight: 400">Benefits of Healing Retreats</span></h2>
  960. <p><span style="font-weight: 400">Recent years have seen a significant increase in the popularity of healing retreats as people pay more attention to their health and seek respite from the pressures of daily life. These retreats offer a safe sanctuary where individuals may disconnect from their routines and partake in activities that enhance their overall wellness. A holistic approach to self-care is provided through healing retreats, allowing participants to achieve inner tranquility and renewal. It offers spa treatments, yoga, meditation, and nutritious food.</span></p>
  961. <p>&nbsp;</p>
  962. <p><span style="font-weight: 400">Joining a healing retreat has several benefits for your overall health. It provides an opportunity to take a break from daily obligations and focus on self-care. Healing retreats often include yoga, meditation, exercise courses, outdoor walks, and mindfulness lectures, to name just a few activities. Participants can relax, feel less stressed, and develop healthy habits to improve your </span><a href="https://sleepbetterlivebetter.ca/the-connection-between-sleep-and-mental-health/"><span style="font-weight: 400">sleep and mental health</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400">. These retreats foster a sense of community by uniting individuals with similar interests who are all working on their personal growth.</span></p>
  963. <h2><span style="font-weight: 400">Planning for Your Healing Retreat</span></h2>
  964. <p><span style="font-weight: 400">Healing retreats include extensive life-changing activities that go above and beyond simple relaxation. They offer a supportive setting where participants can investigate novel wellness techniques, learn from knowledgeable teachers and practitioners, obtain insightful knowledge about their well-being, and practice a </span><a href="https://www.onswell.com/"><span style="font-weight: 400">holistic digital detox experience</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400">. These retreats support people in reconnecting with themselves, cultivating mindfulness, and creating positive habits that may be carried over into their daily lives even after the retreat has ended. This assistance ranges from purifying spa treatments to mindfulness and meditation sessions.</span></p>
  965. <p>&nbsp;</p>
  966. <p><span style="font-weight: 400">It&#8217;s crucial to consider your objectives, tastes, and spending capacity when organizing your healing retreat. Find a retreat that fits your unique needs by researching them, reading reviews, and considering your options. Consider the retreat&#8217;s duration, the kinds of exercises and therapies provided, the standard of lodging and amenities, and the retreat&#8217;s overall ethos. It is advised to make reservations in advance because popular retreats frequently sell out.</span></p>
  967. <h2><span style="font-weight: 400">Choosing the Right Healing Retreat</span></h2>
  968. <p><span style="font-weight: 400">Finding a healing retreat that suits your requirements and interests is crucial with the various options available. Consider all aspects of the retreat that focus on yoga, meditation, detoxification, or holistic treatment. Find a retreat that supports your priorities for your well-being after giving them some thought. Also, consider the venue, lodging choices, and the facilitators&#8217; qualifications for the retreat. Making an informed selection might be helpful after researching and reading reviews from prior members.</span></p>
  969. <h2><span style="font-weight: 400">Mindfulness and Self-Care Practices</span></h2>
  970. <p><span style="font-weight: 400">Developing mindfulness and integrating self-care techniques into daily life are two fundamental components of a healing retreat. Retreats frequently provide opportunities to practice mindful movements, such as yoga or tai chi, guided meditation sessions, and mindfulness courses. These techniques support relaxation, stress reduction, and a closer relationship with oneself by encouraging you to be present in the moment. Learn methods for managing your thoughts, cultivating self-compassion, and expanding your awareness that they can benefit your daily life even after the retreat.</span></p>
  971. <h2><span style="font-weight: 400">Nutrition and Healthy Cuisine</span></h2>
  972. <p><span style="font-weight: 400">Healing retreats also focus on feeding your body with good, nourishing foods. Many retreats provide vegetarian or plant-based food alternatives, emphasizing local, organic foods that promote optimum health. Meals served at a healing retreat range from vivacious salads and nourishing smoothies to nourishing soups and sweets, and they are created to fill your body with vitality and advance general well-being. Take advantage of the chance to learn about mindful eating by enjoying each bite and feeling the satisfaction of taking care of yourself from the inside out.</span></p>
  973. <h2><span style="font-weight: 400">Connection and Community</span></h2>
  974. <p><span style="font-weight: 400">The opportunity to meet with like-minded people on a similar wellness path is one of the features of healing retreats. The retreat provides community and support, whether participating in group meditation, a program, or eating together. Engaging with other participants can result in deep relationships, exchanging knowledge and ideas, and developing friendships that last a lifetime. The connections made during a healing retreat can be a priceless source of inspiration and motivation as you practice your wellness quest after the retreat.</span></p>
  975. <h2><span style="font-weight: 400">Final Thoughts</span></h2>
  976. <p><span style="font-weight: 400">A healing retreat&#8217;s primary quality is its capacity to effect long-lasting transformation in your life. As soon as you return from the retreat, incorporate what you learned into your everyday practice. Accept and integrate the mindfulness practices, self-care rituals, and healthy routines you&#8217;ve created into your daily life. Make the peace, harmony, and well-being you learned from the retreat a springboard for continuing your growth. A healing retreat can improve your overall quality of life and provide the skills to live intentionally and energetically. These advantages can last far beyond the retreat itself.</span></p>

  1071. <p>Finding a reliable source to purchase HONDROSTRONG, a dietary supplement aimed at promoting joint health, is crucial for ensuring product authenticity, quality, and customer satisfaction. In this essay, we will explore various options and considerations for where to buy HONDROSTRONG, including official websites, reputable retailers, and potential pitfalls to avoid.</p>
  1072. <h2>I. Official Website</h2>
  1073. <p>The official website of HONDROSTRONG is often the most reliable source for purchasing the product. It ensures <a href="https://dictionary.cambridge.org/dictionary/english/authenticity">authenticity</a> and allows consumers to access the manufacturer&#8217;s product information, customer support, and any available promotions or discounts. When buying directly from the official website, consumers can have confidence in the product&#8217;s quality and authenticity.</p>
  1074. <h2>II. Reputable Retailers</h2>
  1075. <p>Many reputable online retailers and brick-and-mortar stores may carry HONDROSTRONG. When choosing to purchase from a retailer, it&#8217;s essential to select well-established and trusted sources known for their commitment to quality and customer satisfaction. Reading customer reviews and checking the retailer&#8217;s reputation can help ensure a positive buying experience.</p>
  1076. <h2>III. Online Marketplaces</h2>
  1077. <p>While online marketplaces like Amazon or eBay may offer convenience and a wide range of products, caution is advised when buying HONDROSTRONG from these platforms. The authenticity and quality of products can vary significantly. To mitigate risks, consider purchasing from sellers with high ratings, reviews, and a proven track record of selling genuine products.</p>
  1078. <h2>IV. Avoiding Scams and Counterfeits</h2>
  1079. <p>Unfortunately, the market for dietary supplements is susceptible to scams and counterfeit products. To avoid falling victim to such schemes, buyers should exercise caution and skepticism. Be wary of unusually low prices, unsolicited offers, and products with questionable claims. Stick to established and trusted sources to reduce the risk of purchasing counterfeit or ineffective supplements.</p>
  1080. <h2>V. Local Pharmacies and Health Stores</h2>
  1081. <p>Some consumers prefer the convenience of purchasing supplements from local pharmacies or health stores. These establishments typically carry a curated selection of trusted brands. When buying HONDROSTRONG locally, ask for recommendations from knowledgeable staff and check for any available promotions or discounts.</p>
  1082. <h2>VI. Customer Reviews and Recommendations</h2>
  1083. <p>Customer reviews and recommendations from individuals who have purchased HONDROSTRONG can provide valuable insights into where to buy the product. Seek out user feedback on websites, forums, and social media platforms to learn about their purchasing experiences, including reliability, shipping times, and overall satisfaction.</p>
  1084. <h2>Conclusion:</h2>
  1085. <p><a href="https://inspiretrends.com/hondrostrong-review-recover-cartilage-and-joint-in-a-completely-natural-way/">Where you choose to buy HONDROSTRONG</a> can significantly impact your purchasing experience and the authenticity of the product. The official website and reputable retailers are generally the safest options, offering assurance of product quality and authenticity. However, if you opt for other sources, exercise caution, research sellers carefully, and rely on customer reviews and recommendations to make an informed decision. Avoiding scams and counterfeit products should always be a top priority when searching for the right place to buy HONDROSTRONG.</p>

  1184. <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>As pet owners, we love spending time with our furry friends. However, there may be times when we have to leave them alone, such as when we go to work or run errands. For some pets, this alone time can cause <a href="https://www.vin.com/apputil/content/defaultadv1.aspx?pId=12886&amp;catId=57087&amp;id=7054740&amp;ind=16&amp;objTypeID=17&amp;print=1">anxiety and distress</a>, leading to destructive behavior and other issues. Here are some tips for managing separation anxiety in your pet.</p>
  1185. <h2>Start Slowly</h2>
  1186. <p>If your pet is not used to being alone, start by leaving them alone for short periods of time. Gradually increase the amount of time you spend away from home, giving your pet a chance to adjust to the new routine. This can help your pet become more comfortable with being alone and reduce their anxiety.</p>
  1187. <h2>Create a Comfortable Space</h2>
  1188. <p>Create a comfortable space for your pet to stay while you&#8217;re away. This can be a specific room or area of your home, such as a crate or playpen. Make sure the space is safe and secure, with access to food, water, and toys. Leave a familiar scent, such as an article of clothing or a blanket, to help your pet feel more comfortable.</p>
  1189. <h2>Establish a Routine</h2>
  1190. <p>Establish a routine for your pet, with specific times for meals, playtime, and rest. This can help your pet feel more secure and reduce their anxiety. Stick to the routine as much as possible, even on weekends and holidays.</p>
  1191. <h2>Provide Plenty of Exercise</h2>
  1192. <p>Make sure your pet gets plenty of exercise and playtime before you leave. This can help reduce their anxiety and give them a chance to burn off excess energy. Take your pet for a walk or play a game of fetch before you leave, and provide plenty of toys to keep them occupied.</p>
  1193. <h2>Use Positive Reinforcement</h2>
  1194. <p>Use positive reinforcement to help your pet associate being alone with positive experiences. Offer treats and praise when you leave and when you return, and give your pet plenty of attention and affection when you&#8217;re together. This can help your pet feel more secure and reduce their anxiety.</p>
  1195. <h2>Consider Professional</h2>
  1196. <p>Help If your pet&#8217;s separation anxiety is severe or if you&#8217;re having trouble managing it on your own, consider seeking professional help. A veterinarian or animal behaviorist can offer advice and guidance on managing separation anxiety and may recommend medication or other treatments.</p>
  1197. <h2>Conclusion</h2>
  1198. <p>In conclusion, managing separation anxiety in your pet requires patience and persistence. Start slowly and create a comfortable space for your pet, establish a routine, provide plenty of exercise, and use positive reinforcement. If your pet&#8217;s separation anxiety is severe, seek professional help. With time and effort, you can help your pet feel more comfortable and secure when you&#8217;re away.</p>
