New Lighting
One of the cheaper projects on the list could be replacing your current lighting with up to date light fixtures and fittings.

These vary in price and also energy consumption so if you want the most energy efficient bulbs this will need to be found out as well.
Loft Conversion
Another thing you might want to do is a loft conversion. Rather than moving house if you are running out of room, check if your loft can be converted. This not only saves you money but can add a hefty chunk onto the asking price if you ever sell your home. Not all lofts can be converted due to supporting beams or head space, get a local contractor in so they can access the loft space. If you have a basement then this could also be converted, some people prefer going down than up with their conversions. A basement could also get you more space than a loft as they tend to have a larger surface area. This could be used for anything from a home office to an extra bedroom.
Add A Pool
For a more luxurious addition to your home and garden, you could add a pool. This might be a bespoke one that is sunk into the ground. You will need to work out your budget for this, as they will all be different prices. Take your time when thinking about a pool installation, you not only have the costs of the pool itself but then the regular maintenance that they also need. Speak to various companies, don’t be afraid to get quotes from different companies to see which one is best for you.
Sort The Garden
Finally, if you are sorting the interior then you don’t want to neglect your garden. There is no point having a beautiful home if your garden doesn’t match this aesthetic. Think about how you want your dream garden to look. This will be different for everyone and is a very personal thing. You might want a low maintenance garden meaning getting rid of your real grass for astro turf. You can also create lovely borders around the edges, with either wooden structures or plants.
