7-DAY HOME RENOVATION PROJECT TO TRY THIS SUMMER

Summer is here, and for many people, summer represents leisure, outdoor activities, beaches, BBQ nights, and many other things. But did you realise that this is also the time when you can make significant improvements to the properties you own? Everything has a shelf-life, and summer is said to be the optimum time to refurbish your complete home.

While most of us avoid home renovations because they are time-consuming and inconvenient in many circumstances, home renovations can now be accomplished in a sensible, efficient, and timely manner. Below are some home improvement ideas with which you can make your house the coolest thing on the block this summer.

Ceiling, the essential 5th wall: When it comes to designs, interiors, coatings, and notably ceilings, today's modern homes have seen significant transformations. The fifth wall, which was often overlooked when it comes to house decor, has now grown into a place where you may express yourself. This summer, ceilings are more than simply a flat, white painted surface; they're an opportunity to customise your home. They give the room more depth, curiosity, and clarity while also breaking up the monotony.

A designer ceiling has become one of the most popular options for hall or bedroom makeovers, due to the various benefits they provide. Designer ceilings save you money on air conditioning by cutting your summer electricity bills. If your room is 12 x 12 sq ft and your designer ceiling is one foot lower than the actual ceiling, you'll save money by lowering the 12 x 12 x 1 cubic space that would otherwise require air cooling. Additionally, designer ceilings can be highly reflective. As a result, the amount of light necessary to brighten the room is reduced.

The ceiling ally: Remodelling your place as a homeowner may appear to be a costly undertaking. However, considering today's technology for completing the work, re-designing your ceiling will not break the budget.

However, like with any restoration job, you'll need a reliable partner to help you get through the difficulties. Saint-Gobain Gyproc, for example, has produced entire catalogues to match your mood, budget, and deadlines, allowing you to convert your ceiling in a time period as little as 7 days (T&C apply). Design options, installation expenses, transportation costs, and labour costs all influence the price of a gypsum ceiling. After you've done your math, you may anticipate to pay anywhere between Rs 100 and Rs 140 per sq ft. Naturally, this depends entirely on the interior designers you approach.

Beyond the aesthetics: When it comes to designing ceilings using gypsum boards, there are numerous alternatives. Experiment with different shapes for your ceilings to bring drama to your living room. It will contribute to the aesthetic appeal of your home by providing a pleasing finish. Designer ceilings offer additional benefits in addition to their aesthetic appeal.

While some home upgrades, such as installing central air conditioning or redesigning an entire room, can be costly and time-consuming, simpler projects like renovating ceilings which are not just aesthetically pleasing but also help in saving money on a monthly basis. It is without a doubt one of the easiest ways to give your home that X-factor within a limited time period.
