Once you’ve saved or made the money you need, what will you do to make your home more awesome?  There are more than a few ideas you could choose that’ll have quite a noticeable impact, making your home and even your life more enjoyable.  Some of these things can even increase your property value.

Get an indoor chair swing

Indoor chair swings have become incredibly popular in recent years. A lot of this is because of the various style and installation options you can choose from. While many can be hung from your ceiling which makes them blend in seamlessly with your home design, many also come with a metal frame to hang from, meaning you can easily place them anywhere in your home.

You might only think of hammock swings and swinging chairs as being a garden or veranda feature, but they can work wonders indoors too.  Macrame hanging chairs with tassels in a black or a cream colourway can work well in many styles of interior design from boho to shabby chic to rustic.  Or rattan black egg chairs or natural colourways will suit may other home designs.

It will look cool, be a talking point, and give you somewhere relaxing to snuggle up at the end of a long day, or even to chill in on your day off with a book and hot cocoa! 

Install a hot tub

There’s nothing that adds a ‘wow’ factor to gardens more than hot tubs. Set up in the right way, they could be one of the more attractive aspects of your outdoor space. There are also quite a few other benefits to this, including stress relief.

Much of this will be seen in your muscles, which should get much more relaxed in the water. Certain hot tubs will also offer massage-focused settings that can enhance the effect.  You can also buy natural dead sea salts infused with essential oils which dissolve in the water and release aromatherapy benefits through the steam.

Aside from the health and wellbeing benefits of hot tubs, they are also great fun to splash around in with friends and family in the summer months at garden parties!  They're also nicer looking than blow-up kids pools.  Plus, it's a pin to keep those inflatable kids pools clean!

Not only can you use a hot tub in the summer, but you can heat them up and enjoy being outdoors in your garden in the winter too, looking at the stars and moon on a winters evening whilst staying lovely and warm!

Whilst hardstanding hot tubs are in the thousands, you can pick up an inflatable hot tub for a few hundred pounds as new.  It’s also an item that’s regularly for sale preloved, so check out online marketplaces to grab a bargain if you’re thinking of investing in a hot tub.

Don’t forget about the cost to maintain the hot tub as you’ll need special water cleaning products to keep the hot tub safe to use and the extra cost on your utility and energy bills for the water and electricity required.  Factor all this in before making the commitment to ensure this is affordable for you. 

Create a home library 

Getting a bookshelf might not be the first thing that comes to mind when you’re thinking about ways to make your home more awesome. But if you have a passion for reading then why not go all out and create your very own home library and book nook?

Perhaps you have a nook in your home that you don’t know what to do with, or you have a small box room that is useless as a bedroom and you don’t need an office.  If you love to read then turn it into your own personal home library!  You could even add a hanging chair as mentioned above as the seating, surrounded by all your favourite books.

If you don’t have an entire room to dedicate, it can be a wall in your living room or dining room, wherever fits.  Styled correctly, floor to ceiling custom bookshelves could look amazing.  You might even find a vintage library ladder for sale in an antique shop or online to add to the look.  Bespoke storage solutions for your book collection can become its very own feature in your home.

When it comes to the bookshelves themselves, there are countless options to choose from, many of which can look much more visually appealing than you’d think. 

Create a home movie theatre

When it comes to ways to make your home more awesome, there are few things that outdo a home cinema. What’s stopping you from setting one up? It could take much less work than you’d think, providing you have the space and you’re willing to spend some money.

All you’ll need to pick up are some comfortable seats and a popcorn machine. If you’re feeling fancy, you could also pick up a projector to have more of a cinema feel. Hooking up your projector to a computer logged into Netflix will complete the effect.

If you don’t have the space inside then think about the outdoors!  Perhaps you have a large shed you can convert into an outdoor cinema space, or in the warmer months, maybe you can set up a projector in your garden to watch the big events with some comfortable seating.  Creating multifunctional spaces in your garden will help you make the most of it.  Combine this with the hot tub idea from above and you can even watch your favourite shows, films or sporting events whilst relaxing in the tub with a drink in hand!  Bliss!

Wrapping up

There are countless ways to make your home more awesome. Mixing and matching a few of the above could be a great way to add features to make your home more enjoyable and the talk of your friends and family!
