4 Home Projects for Your Tax Refund

4 Home Projects for Your Tax Refund

Posted by Edgework Admin on

When planning how to spend your tax refund this year, consider investing in a home improvement project. The average refund last year was just around $3,000, which goes further than you think when doing custom work. We’re showing you 4 different projects you can do with your tax refund to enhance the livability of your home, and increase its value. Win win!

Project #1: Floating Shelves

Investment: $600 +

Open shelving is the unsung hero of home improvement projects; it's the trifecta of function, aesthetics, and flexibility. Floating shelves are less expensive than upper cabinetry, they maximize storage space, and create visual interest that can be styled to reflect your lifestyle. Adding open shelving will motivate you to Marie Kondo your kitchen and to display the things you love — and actually use.

Project #2: Kitchen Dining Space

Investment: $900 +

If you’re less concerned with increasing your home value and more focused on increasing the livability of your space, upgrading your kitchen table would be a great place to start. Eat-in kitchens are cozy, casual and seem to become the hub of the home. Even in a smaller space, you can achieve high style by pairing a small round table and contrasting chairs or built-in benches. This small investment can have a big impact on where you spend quality time at home with family and friends.

Start your kitchen dining project with the table, and build from there! Browse our selection on round tables in the shop, like the Mast Table or the Seneca Table.

Project #3: Wood Beams

Investment: $2,000 +

If you’re wanting to go big or go home to a space you love, adding decorative wood beams and wraps are a way to add structure and character. Wood beams anchor a room, introduce natural texture, and make a house feel more like home.

Project #4: Wood Countertops

Investment: $2,500+

Home can be welcoming by introducing grounding, natural textures. Wood countertops are timeless, work well with any design style and add instant warmth and coziness to a room. The use of wood is an Elle Decor top kitchen design style to look out for in 2019, and we definitely agree.
