So your home could use a little sprucing up but you don’t have the time or the budget right now for a major facelift. Well you’re in luck, because with a little elbow grease and a free weekend, you can tackle a few small projects that will deliver big results. Give your home a little makeover with these 7 simple Home Improvements projects.
Paint a room.
Nothing has the potential to transform a room like a can of paint. But don’t stop there. Pick a bolder or contrasting color for one wall for an instant focal point.
Replace your fixtures and hardware.
Stuck with builder’s grade fixtures? It might be time for an upgrade. Replace your faucets, shower heads, fixtures, and even door and cabinet hardware for a cohesive, updated, and more upscale look.
- Switch out your switch plate covers.
Who says switch place cover have to be boring? Let your personal style shine through with decorative plates in antique brass, sleek brushed nickel or even a hand painted design to match the theme of a room.
- Transform your floor.
Are your wood floors too beat up to refinish? Give them new life with easy to use vinyl. And yet this isn’t your grandma’s vinyl flooring we’re talking about here. Today’s options are durable, stylish, and available in patterns that resemble wood, stone, and even metal.
- Set the mood.
Nothing sets the proper mood quite like lighting. But you don’t have to spend a small fortune installing recessed lights and sconces. Just add dimmer cords to your lamps and get that soft, ambient lighting whenever you wish.
- Build a raised garden bed.
Food doesn’t get any more local than when it comes from your very own garden. All you need is the space, 8-foot long sections of pressure treated lumber, screws, landscape adhesive, and construction adhesive. Once the structure is built, lay landscape fabric down to prevent weeds from popping up, fill with a quality soil, and start planting.
- Wash your house.
Use a pressure washer to erase dirt and grime from your siding, exterior windows (make sure they’re closed!), deck, patio, and walkways.
