Small Home Improvements that Make a Big Difference

Feeling in the mood for some home improvements? Well, you do not have to empty your savings account to give your home a fresh new feel. In fact, you can make some small home improvements that will make a big difference. This guide will show you how.

Paint a room.

One of the easiest ways to freshen up your home is a lick of paint. You could brighten up a dark room with some light colors or change the color of one wall to make it a feature wall. Try to compliment the colors in your house with the furniture and carpet to give the room a cohesive feel. You can also mix-and-match painted walls with wallpaper. Leave wallpaper on one wall and paint the rest for a stylish look.

Update your window treatments.

Window treatments are often over-looked in home improvements but they can make a huge difference. They provide protection from the sun, offer complete privacy, and can make your room look totally different. Swap out some tired old curtains or broken blinds and your house will seem like new. Roman shades, shutters, and faux wood blinds are in style at the minute.

Refinish your kitchen cabinets.

After a few years, kitchen cabinets can start to look really tired. However, that does not mean you need to get new ones. You can refinish them and make them look new – you just need the know-how. The method you use to refinish your kitchen cabinets depends on the material they are made from. Some materials are easier to refinish than others. Whatever they are made from, it will give your kitchen a fresh, new look.

Install new hardware.

Hardware refers to doorknobs and cabinet handles. You might think that changing them will not make any difference. But you would be wrong. This small change can impact the way your house looks and feels. Plus, it is one of the cheapest home improvements on this list.

Repair your AC.

There is nothing worse than a home that is the wrong temperature. A home that is too hot in the summer and too cold in the winter is sure to make for an unhappy life. That is why you should head to GlobalHeatingAirConditioning.com and get your AC fixed. This is an inexpensive way of making your home much more comfortable.

De-clutter.

After a few years in a house, you will accumulate a lot of stuff. Whether it is sentimental items from your past or just general clutter, you should sort through it and see what you can live without. Decluttering makes a home feel more spacious and will make it easier to tidy. Plus, you do not have to spend anything. You might even make some money if you sell some of your stuff on eBay.

Remove outdated wallpaper.

Wallpaper is not as common as it once was. There was a time when almost everyone used wallpaper instead of good-old-fashioned paint, which is why a lot of homes are now decorated with outdated wallpaper. If that sounds like your home, it is time to pull it down and give the walls a fresh lick of paint.
