We all want our homes to be up to date and visually appealing. Of course, most of us don’t have an unlimited budget to create our dream home. If you want to create your dream home and increase its value, there are some DIY projects you can complete without breaking the bank. Check out these home improvement ideas on a budget.
A new layer of paint can cover a multitude of sins in any home. Old, worn-out kitchen cabinets? Paint them white for a new, clean look. Dated bedroom walls? Add a pop of color with an accent wall and paint the others with a neutral shade.
Most homes have generic hardware like doorknobs and sink faucets. Swapping out that old, bland hardware with something more your style is both inexpensive and fast. You also have the ability to tie in the era of the home.
Outlet plates and light switches are something in your home that you frequently use, and that means they become dirty and stained over time. To dress up the room a bit, replace the old plates with new ones, or paint the old ones to match the wall and blend in a bit more.
Shelving creates extra storage as well as something to breakup blank walls. If you don’t want the expense of a full bookshelf or storage rack, add a panel of floating shelves to create a similar look.
An old lighting fixture can feel dated and dingy. To bring a room back to your style and current trend, consider exchanging the old one for something new.
Windows without framework can look plain and flat. They can also feel very small in a room. You don’t have to spend an exorbitant amount on fixing it. Add a frame with simple molding and a new apron.
Things like thermostats can be unattractive to look at, especially when you’ve put so much work into the look of your home. A simple piece of artwork can hang over it, concealing it from view while adding some décor to the room. Just be sure that it doesn’t disrupt the temperature sensor.
Another way to improve the look of your home is to declutter the spaces that are becoming overwhelmed with items. When you need to open up some space, turn to Self Storage Plus.
