Your 20-year-old house is beginning to show its age. The kitchen closets have deteriorated, and the bathrooms could use an update. So, the question pops up should you renew your older house? And could you recover the cost of it?

Read on to learn more about these questions.

The biggest question that pops up is What is the main reason you want to renovate the house. Either to sell it or to make it look good. Then you should be clear on the second question what's the budget you have for it. Based on the budget, you can decide whether you want to renovate the house or just a few things completely. If the budget is less, then based on the things that are more worn out, we can proceed to start the renovation.

Kitchen:

• Depending on the state of the closets, you can decide to preserve or restore them. Or you can repaint them with a new color and theme. 

• Possibly replace the carpet.

• Update the devices.

• Paint the room.

• Substitute the countertops and backsplash.

Paint:

Even just a new paint can change the look of the house. Renewing and refreshing the colors in the house makes a big impact and uplift for the owners. If the budget is less, instead of doing the whole house, you can do it in just the home's main areas where everyone spends the most time.

Areas that you should consider if not painting the whole house:

• The most popular area of the house is the master suite. You can include new cabinets, flooring, and single sidewalls. To enhance the mood of the complete suite, you can add new shower and bathroom fixtures. 

• The exterior of the house is the first thing that anybody will notice. A single fresh coat of paint can make the house look new. You can also replace the doors and windows colors to make them look fresh.

Flooring:

• The first and easiest thing you can do is change the carpet in the main living areas, probably faded and soiled. The most economical thing will be new carpets.

• Wood flooring with a few tiles in some locations can also be beneficial and cost-effective in the main areas. 

Renovating a home should be fun and easy, so if you are really confused about things, then it's always better to hire a professional for that.
