With daylight hours and warm weather on your side, explore the 5 trending home improvement projects that homeowners like you are carrying out this summer.
Refresh Your Kitchen Cabinets
One of the most cost-effective ways to give your kitchen a fresh new look is by refinishing your kitchen cabinets. This is a great alternative to a full kitchen remodel, especially if you’re happy with the layout of your kitchen but want to update the style. By simply repainting or restaining your cabinets, you can instantly brighten up your kitchen and create a more modern and inviting space. At Sternfenster, we offer a wide range of replacement kitchen windows that can be easily installed – giving you a quick and affordable kitchen makeover.
Enhance Your Outdoor Space
Summer is all about enjoying the outdoors, so why not make the most of your outdoor space by adding some vibrant colours and functional elements? Consider building a walkway, adding colourful plants, or creating a raised garden bed to bring life to your backyard. You can also revive your porch, patio, or deck by repairing any cracks, waterproofing, and giving it a thorough cleaning. Adding a stacked fire pit or installing a paver patio can create a cosy and inviting outdoor space where you can relax and entertain guests.
For flawless connections between your interior and exterior living spaces, browse our range of rear doors. Available in uPVC and aluminium materials, our range of French, patio doors, flush doors and aluminium bifold and patio doors, can complement your interior and exterior spaces.
Improve Energy Efficiency
With the hot summer months ahead, it’s important to ensure that your home is energy-efficient and well insulated. Start by keeping your air conditioner clean and efficient by clearing debris, hosing it down, and vacuuming the vents. You can also seal gaps in your insulation and windows to keep cool air inside your home and prevent energy wastage. Consider replacing old windows with double glazed windows from Sternfenster, which offer superior insulation and noise reduction properties. By improving the energy efficiency of your home, you can save on utility bills and create a more comfortable living environment.
Add a Fresh Coat of Paint
A fresh coat of paint can do wonders for any room in your home. Whether you choose to repaint the interior or exterior spaces, a new colour can completely transform the look and feel of your home. Opt for light and airy colours to create a bright and welcoming atmosphere, or go bold with vibrant shades to make a statement. Don’t forget to paint your front door and shutters as well, as this can instantly boost your home’s curb appeal. At Sternfenster, we offer a range of stylish replacement doors that can be customised to match your desired colour scheme.
Create a Relaxing Garden Retreat
Turn your garden into a tranquil oasis by adding some key elements that promote relaxation and serenity. Consider installing a water feature, such as a fountain or pond, to create a soothing ambience. Add outdoor lighting to your garden to enjoy the space during longer summer evenings and enhance safety. You can also create a seating area with comfortable outdoor furniture where you can unwind and enjoy the beauty of your garden. By creating a relaxing garden retreat, you can escape the stresses of everyday life and fully embrace the summer season.
