3. Update the sockets and switches
They often appear yellowed or havedifferent shapes and designs after numerous renovations. You can easily achieve a modern look if you replace old sockets and switches with new ones made in the same style. If you do not have the relevant experience, it is better to hire a qualified electrician. The same applies to yellowed thermostats and smoke detectors.
