Renew a house to modernize is no easy task, but with a little patience and imagination can achieve incredible results. I recently had the pleasure to modernize and restore an old house, more than 25 years. It took me a while, but the truth is that it has been very good (modesty aside).

Then I am going to describe the 5 basic tenets that must be followed. It is important not to skip any of them:

1 - Analyze the current status

It's good to have a look at household and realize what you are older, than can be renewed with a coat of paint, with a change or a restoration. If you have a budget, the ideal is to keep the maximum number of pieces of furniture and accessories, although the latter tend to be more accessible and easy to change. You have to patch the holes with putty and paint to use organic, highly recommended for its features and price.

2 - Modern Details

Are precisely those which can be found on any website like ours that is dedicated to the decor. Here we have presented myriad of accessories for any part of the house. Simple details such as changing switches or changing curtains and lights can wash her face to the room considerably. Remember, the vases with floral decorations bring life and freshness.

3 - Lighting

Lamps can be found today are great and break with the classic. Stores like Ikea can find a low cost and of various materials. The paper is the cheapest, which makes them very attractive for tourists as the typical desktop or room in which everything is stored. Where there is money to spare the room, because the lamp must be large enough to illuminate everything (that or put an additional standing next to the sofa). Forget the spider and juégatela lamps.

4 - Materials

The material of all things wears over the years. So almost certainly will need to renew it. Carpets, curtains, furniture in general, windows ... it may leave you change from one arm and a leg. The important thing is to crawl the market looking for companies that offer better value for money.

5 - Modernization for you and your family

Modernizing a home is necessary both for oneself and for the family. You may have had a child or grandchild and have to put up the house for him. In that case more than one room will undergo radical changes. If on the contrary, has modernized for sale or rent, you'd better leave everything in perfect condition to have a high value on the market.
