Stanley SheltonAugust 7, 2020 143 Views

Everyone, both trend followers and those less interested in decorative novelties, will have noticed that kitchen islands and peninsulas have finally burst onto the scene.

The truth is that we are not surprised; These furniture, which we often associate with American houses, in addition to being beautiful, are pieces that can be very useful . They help to reorganize the space and, by making better use of it, are very useful even in the smallest houses. Still don’t know the advantages of kitchen islands? We show you:

Extra storage

Kitchen islands are a great distributor : they reorganize the space and manage to increase the work surface. If you also want to increase the storage capacity of your home, be sure to buy a kitchen island with drawers and shelves in which to place the utensils you need.

To divide spaces

An island can be very useful in kitchens that share a room with the living room. Without walls, the furniture itself will mark the end of one environment and the beginning of another. In small rooms, choose kitchen peninsulas, which when leaning against the wall will save space.

Very useful work surface

The coverings of kitchen islands make them a very suitable surface to work on , much more suitable than dining tables. If the space that conventional countertops provide is not enough for you, visit interior decoration platforms, you will find numerous designs of kitchen islands. You can choose between wood or marble , between traditional designs and the most innovative.

Makes cooking easier

By freeing the surface on which we are preparing to work from the wall, the task becomes easier. The freedom of movement is complete and we can work around the island without any problems. There are those who choose to place the sink or even the fires inside the cabinet itself to achieve greater comfort.

Incredible solutions

The kitchen island can be the solution to problems that seemed a priori irremediable. A long, narrow kitchen? Place an island with the same characteristics and you will be able to take advantage of the entire length of the kitchen. A column that you don’t know how to hide? Incorporate it into the island as part of its design: you will add a lot of character to the decoration.

Aesthetics

We leave aside the practical aspect of the islands to focus on a more superficial one: aesthetics . Since the kitchens have once again become the nucleus of the home , taking care of their decoration is very important and the islands play a privileged role there because, let’s face it, these pieces add modernity and distinction to the design of the room…

How To Decorate A Home To Rent Quickly

Stanley SheltonAugust 7, 2020August 7, 2020 144 Views

Decorating a home to rent or sell is more difficult than it seems. While it is true that an empty interior provides the tenant with a blank canvas on which to furnish and decorate according to their taste and style, empty spaces tend to appear smaller than they are.

It is convenient to present the property with some essential pieces to show the possibilities that space offers and create a pleasant and welcoming interior. Conversely, if the property is over-decorated, you may fall into the error of customizing it based on the owner’s tastes and style, which could be quite different from those of potential tenants.

These are the six keys for a rental home to be attractive to almost everyone:

Decorate only with essential furniture

When decorating a rental home, the golden rule is “less is more. ” In this sense, only the most essential pieces of furniture and decorative accessories should be incorporated into each room. Everything else should be removed so that the space is clear and can be easily circulated.

Paint and decorate the rental apartment with neutral colors

For paint and finishes, it is best to opt for white. Once the tenant has settled into the house, they can add color through accessories and textiles. To achieve color contrast, when the white is too monotonous, neutral colors such as charcoal, light gray or beige, and/or natural wood can be used for floors, kitchen furniture, doors, cabinets, and others.

Use white colors and mirrors to multiply the brightness of the house you want to rent.

White interiors and mirrors help multiply the interior light, as well as visually enlarge the space. Windows should be clear to allow natural light to flow into the interior without being obstructed by curtains, sheers, or blinds. If natural light is scarce, an intimate and cozy interior can be created using floor and table lamps or indirect lights under kitchen cabinets, cupboard interiors, etc.

Invest in the decoration of the property

When furnishing a home for rent, one of the most common mistakes is to decorate it with furniture that we no longer use at home, worn out, or out of fashion. The truth is that it is preferable to present the property empty than fill it with furniture that detracts from the appearance of the house. It is preferable to invest in a good duvet and pillows to dress the bed, soft quality towels for the bathroom, or even some piece of art for the living room. In this way, the home will be presented with style and quality essential accessories, making it much more attractive.

Use furniture that doesn’t go out of style.

The furniture of a house to rent must be resistant, in neutral tones and timeless designs. Use a wide variety of iconic pieces of furniture combine in the same design classic lines with a modern and contemporary style, at a medium price. These pieces are a good alternative to the usual furniture that often fills rental properties.

Decorate the house with flowers to make it more attractive and attractive to future tenants

If you are renting a furnished property, you should avoid decorative accessories, so that it is the tenant who creates a personal space with their accessories. However, if you want to present the property with charm, it is best to decorate with natural flowers and some indoor plants. These add a pop of color to any neutral interior and easily replace them with other accessories once the tenant has settled in.
