If you've been in your home for many years, you're probably thinking of ways to upgrade your space. Perhaps you've also just moved into an older house. According to Zippia, 59% of homes in the U.S. were built before 1980. If your home falls into this category, you likely need some home renovation. Let's look at a few types of renovations you can take on this year.

1. New Cabinets

Cabinets can really take a beating over the years. Even if you take good care of your home and maintain things properly, your cabinets will simply wear down from all the consistent use. Cabinets are opened and shut dozens of times a day and if you have a big family, you can multiply this three or four times. Not to mention, if you have young kids or teens, cabinets may be getting even more abuse than usual!

Over time, cabinets will show their age. Whether it be sagging doors, unattractive hardware, and discoloration, you'll eventually want some replacements. Purchasing new cabinets installed is a great way to freshen up your kitchen, improve your home value, and increase functionality in your kitchen.

2. New Flooring

New flooring is another home renovation that most homeowners will need to eventually consider. Flooring sees some of the most wear and tear in your home because you and your family are literally walking on it day after day. This eventually leads to discoloration, wearing down, and in some cases damage. Installing new flooring will increase your home value, increase your home's quality, and improves the overall appearance of any room.

3. Landscaping

The interior of the home isn't the only area that might need home renovation. When we think of renovations, we don't often think of landscaping, but it can be a crucial aspect of your home's appearance and value. If the outside of your home isn't all you'd like it to be, you can invest in quality landscaping.

4. Windows

Windows aren't just important to your home's curb appeal, but they can also impact the way your home uses energy as well. Installing new energy-efficient windows can make a huge dent in your bills each month. Think about saving for a big trip or a fancy gadget with all the money you'll save!
