3 Ways to Improve the Living Room

The living room is a significant and meaningful place in your home.  Families often use the living room to entertain guests, play games, watch television, and socialize.  For many homes, the family room is one of the busiest places in the house.  Mr. Handyman wants to help you transform your living room into an area that is useful, inviting, and enjoyable.  Here are some of the ways we can enhance your living area:

Shelving Units

Both practical and aesthetically pleasant, shelving units should be an integral part of every living area.  If there are children in your home, shelving units can house games, family pictures, and even toys.  Mr. Handyman can design a custom carpentry solution for your shelving needs, leaving some areas open to display and others concealed by cabinet doors.  Now, the coloring books that the kids drag out after dinner every night can be easily accessed, but still hidden.  If there are no children in your home, consider using shelving to display prized knick knacks, picture frames, books, or plants.  No matter the ages of your residents, make the shelves your own!  A custom shelving solution from Mr. Handyman will give your living room personality and functionality.

Decorative Molding

No matter what type of home you live in, decorative molding can enhance the look of a room and make a statement of class and refinement.  Owners can choose to have molding installed where the wall meets the ceiling or along the floor, depending on the desired effect.  Molding is often white, making it easy to accent whatever color is currently on the walls.  Styles of molding range from intricate and ornate to plain and modest – regardless, the molding will enhance the environment of any room and provide a subtle touch of elegance.  Mr. Handyman can work with you to decide which style of molding best suits your living room and perform an expert installation, leaving your home tasteful and polished.

Mantel Installation

The mantel serves as the focal point of a living area.  Don’t have a fireplace?  That’s ok!  Mr. Handyman can help you choose a place for the mantel that will highlight the living area and allow you to display plants, pictures, or objects of sentimental value.  A mantel gives the living area much more charisma and will make it an inviting place to entertain guests or spend family time.  Add your individual personality through the type of material, style, and color of your mantel piece.  Don’t worry – we’ll install it!

Confronting the Chaos in the Garage

Organizing the garage is one of the most overwhelming project ‘monsters’ that homeowners face.  Years and years of tools, toys, and trinkets love to build up in the garage, making it hard to gather the motivation to dive in and rearrange things.  Plus, this is Arizona – the garage is pretty toasty!  Let Mr. Handyman help you revamp your garage and make the most out of your space.

Categorization

First, think of categories that would be useful for grouping the items in your garage.  These categories could be things like: holiday decorations, sports equipment, garden tools, household items, etc.  Make the categories unique to the contents of your garage.  Next, think of how you would like the categories situated within the space.  What does the layout look like?  What are things you need to access frequently versus the things you only need once or twice a year?

Floor Space

Now, get things off the floor!  It’s nice to have your things organized, but leaving them on the floor adds clutter and confusion to your garage area.  Hanging racks make the most of the wall space and can be purchased for many things including tools and bikes.  There are many options regarding shelving units that Mr. Handyman of Gilbert can help you install.  When deciding how to organize your space, be sure to keep in mind how frequently you use the items and shelve them accordingly. 

Tackling the garage can be a daunting task but there’s good news!  You don’t have to do it alone!  Our handymen can assist you with transforming that cluttered headache into a well-organized space.  An orderly garage helps us to prepare for some of summer’s favorite activities: washing the car, building lemonade stands, keeping a beautiful garden, and bike riding.
