DECORATE YOUR HOME FOR THE NEW YEAR

  It's time to focus on the next celebration that will bring all your family and friends to your home. 

For many it is the opportunity to go out and party in a public place. However, many of us also organize New Year's Eve parties at home with friends or family. The celebration has no limits, so if we have a party at home it is important to have the right decoration for the occasion.

The important thing about the night of the 31st is that it is a party, so the decoration of your house should be thought about that. It is the time to share good times, dance, have a few drinks (always with a lot of responsibility) and forget your worries even for a few hours.

FIVE EXPERT TIPS FOR A PRACTICAL, SPACIOUS AND TRENDY KITCHEN

 Today we tell you what are the five tips from these experts in the area to have a luxury kitchen.

1) The first one is to make it a meeting space, where not only food is prepared, but also where you can share with your guests. The idea is to have a single concept in the house and to make it feel much larger as it is an open space.

2) Secondly, it will be important to take advantage of the "full height of the house" so that the storage capacity is greater and generates the illusion of more space, without neglecting the ease of reaching the elements.

3) When it comes to choosing colors, pastels are trendy. Light blue, cream and their contrast with matte tones. The combination will also depend on the style of each client and the property.

4) Fourth is the right choice of furniture and appliances. For example, a single oven can have several cooking functions, which will save both space and budget. This real estate will also be part of the color palette of the space.

5) The last point is to evaluate the budget you have to adapt your kitchen.

PAINTING PROTECTS YOUR HOME

 A good coat of paint prevents the deterioration of the exterior of your property. Keep in mind that the surface of your house can be seriously affected by the extreme weather of the rainy season or the strong rays of the sun.

Painting your home is like "upgrading it" because it will instantly stand out among all the houses in the area. A freshly painted property looks fresh, impeccable and like new; it stands out among the properties in the neighborhood.

Friends, family or neighbors will feel like they are in a space that has just been built. Oh, and those who are looking for properties in the area will surely see your space first, so go ahead and beautify your walls, ceilings, doors and windows with the color they need!
