Upgrading your home doesn't mean you have to knock down walls and change the layout – it could simply mean trying new storage methods or a fun pattern on your walls. Here are three of the hottest upgrades.
- Hidden, Wall-Mounted TV: Bigger TVs are less expensive than ever, but they wreck the design of a room. You can hide gigantic televisions in the wall and cover them with a mirror or artwork.
- Exotic Landscape Lighting: It’s one thing to have solar path lights but you can take backyard lighting to the next level with just a little work. Take a solar light, put it in a spotlight and turn it upside down shooting up into landscaping or water features like a fountain or koi pond.
- Master Controls for Energy Consumption: You can control your entire house from your phone or computer – but did you know you can do the same for energy consumption? There are small digital panels that connect with the utilities to track the appliances and systems in your home. They can tell you everything from energy usage and temperature plus how much it’s all costing you!
