If you’ve looked at your old bathroom or tired and worn out carpet and fixtures for too long, get inspired to modernize your home by attending the 8th Annual Katy Home and Garden Show slated for Jan.25-26 at the Merrell Center Robinson Pavilion in Katy. Show hours are 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Saturday and 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. Sunday.
For those eager to get a head start on any home and garden expansion no matter the size, make plans to visit more than 250 exhibits.
“Consumer interest and spending in home remodeling and DIY projects continue to rise for many reasons,”said Robyn Cade, President of RJC Productions and organizer of the Katy Home and Garden Show. “Baby boomers may now find themselves as empty nesters with disposal incomes to refurbish, redecorate and reinvest in their homes, creating beautiful living spaces which reflect their individual personalities and an emphasis on entertaining at home.”
Additionally, low interest rates make remodeling affordable. Some of the other reasons to consider remodeling a home include modernizing it.
“Research shows that investing in your home pays for itself in the long haul, particularly with kitchen and bathroom remodels,” said Cade.
In fact, an American Housing Survey found that adding a half bath can increase home value 10.5 percent and a full bath contributes 20 percent to home value. Lower heating and cooling bills by replacing outdated windows and doors with energy efficient ones.
“We’re especially excited about the range of exhibitors, demonstrations and experts who’ll be part of this year’s show,” said Cade.
