If you like to entertain and enjoy having friends and family at your home for events throughout the year, you’re probably on the lookout for unique ways to upgrade your home. Fortunately, there are countless renovations that can turn your space into an inviting, relaxing environment that guests are bound to enjoy.
If you’re big on ideas but short on cash, loans for home improvement are one option to make your dream renovation more affordable. Here are several exciting ideas to explore.
Install a firepit
There’s no better place to entertain your friends and family than around a cozy fire pit. Imagine the kids roasting marshmallows for s’mores on a chilly fall night while your favorite football game plays on a projector screen. Heavenly, right?
If you have the privacy and space for a fire pit, you can choose between one that sits above the ground or a sunken fire pit, which sits below ground level and centers around a seating area. Regardless of which option you choose, ensure safety measures are in place to protect guests from getting burned.
Add an outdoor kitchen
An outdoor kitchen might already be on your radar if you frequently entertain outside. Whether you want a simple kitchen with a sink and food prep area or something more extravagant with a pizza oven and wet bar, there are countless possibilities. It’s worth noting that some of the more upgraded outdoor kitchen options may even be considered an extension of your living space and increase the square footage of your home.
Transform your porch
Do you have a porch you rarely use? If so, think of it instead as another room and create the oasis you want. Simply adding comfortable lounge furniture, outdoor rugs, curtains, string lights, and potted plants can turn a dead space into somewhere you’ll want to host a gathering. Plus, the addition of portable heaters and ceiling fans means you can use the porch year-round.
Bring in a hot tub
A hot tub can give you and your loved ones the chance to relax and unwind from the stressors of everyday life. Depending on your backyard setup, you may add the hot tub to your deck, patio, gazebo, or under a roofed area. Hot tubs are available in all shapes and sizes, so you can opt for a more traditional square shape or get one that’s custom-built to fit the vision you have for your backyard.
Create a home theater
There’s no need to leave your home and go to the movies when you can add a cinema to your basement or any other large room. All you need to do is buy a quality surround system, projector, and recliners. A popcorn machine can take it one step further by creating the ultimate theater experience.
Set up a bar and lounge
Friends and neighbors are sure to swing by after you create a swanky home bar and lounge. You can easily do this in your living room, dining room, or anywhere else you entertain often. The first thing you’ll need is a bar. You can go all in with a custom, built-in bar or choose one that’s easier to move, like a bar cart you can wheel in to start the party and slide out when the party’s over. Add some comfortable chairs and surround sound speakers to pump your favorite jams, and your bar is open for business.
Take your entertaining efforts to the next level
No matter which home upgrade you choose, your new space is bound to impress your guests time after time. Before you move forward with one (or a few) renovation projects, make sure you do the math and determine their overall cost and what you’ll pay if you decide to take out a loan. This way, you can create your dream entertaining space without unwanted financial surprises.
