The increase in the cost of living conditions home reforms. Small fixes are the solution to comprehensive reforms. The increase in the price of construction materials will promote the postponement of large works in the houses of the Spanish in 2023
The current inflation is affecting the prices of the materials used for home renovations. According to INE data, the raw materials used to renovate homes have increased in price by 12.9% compared to last year. This situation, together with the global state of uncertainty, is conditioning Spaniards to reconsider the execution of comprehensive reforms in their homes. A consideration that, although it may lead to a postponement of the works until a more favorable moment, does not have the what to expect to leave homes lacking in proper maintenance, outdated or out of fashion. In this sense, Taskrabbit, the handyman app associated with IKEA, proposes some alternatives to reforms that not only allow you to take care of your pocket, but also improve the condition of the houses, while following the latest home decoration trends for the next year. Below are four small reforms that transform homes economically and without the need to embark on a long, tedious construction project, and, now more than ever, at a very high cost.1. Insulate the house with panels or vinyl. A growth trend that Taskrabbit has experienced first-hand, with stocks of wallcovering increasing by 83% over last year. This not only adds character and personality to the walls, but is also a great way to insulate the house, which is expected to be a trend in the coming year.2. Repair and reuse. Another task whose reservations have increased fivefold (483%) compared to last year are furniture repairs, becoming a highly demanded option compared to the purchase of new furniture. And it is that reuse and repair are two of the main trends in homes included in the Taskrabbit Trends Report for 2023, based on the most demanded task requests carried out by taskers in Spain.3. Live a greener and more energy efficient life. According to this study, another of the alternatives to comprehensive works in houses is to convert homes into more intelligent and energy efficient spaces. In this sense, reservations for home automation installations through Taskrabbit have increased by 45%4. Fix small imperfections. Taking care of the maintenance of the house by fixing slight imperfections such as small dampness, cracks or broken tiles, painting the walls or conditioning spaces, are alternatives that give a lot of life to homes and avoid having to tackle large works. For many people it is not the time to carry out a comprehensive reform of the home, but they do need to improve it for various reasons such as energy savings or improving their well-being. Some tasks that, although small, if you do not know how to do them or do not have time to do them, you can always count on reliable Taskers who help give that touch to houses in an affordable, reliable and safe way, responding to the needs and the new trends that will predominate this 2023.
