Tackle simple home improvement projects and transform overlooked spaces with budget-friendly upgrades. Try one of these mini makeovers to help your home look better. You’ll be surprised at what a big impact these changes can have on the aesthetic and function of a room.
Boost Accessible Kitchen Storage
Extra storage is always a plus, whether your kitchen is big or small. Take advantage of a corner space or an unclaimed wall with open shelves to keep spices, dishes, and frequently used cookware within easy reach. Mount a wine rack next to your upper cabinets if you’re an entertainer.
Embellish the Entrance
Millwork adds character to rooms. So why not use it to dress up your home? Frame your front door with millwork, and paint it to add some extra pizzazz to your home exterior. Incorporate elements of indoor style outdoors to give your porch a sophisticated look.
Restore Shine to A Wood Floor
The versatility and warmth that wooden floors add to a house are incomparable. Unfortunately, exposure to dust, dirt and high foot traffic can leave it looking dull. Restore your floor’s shine by polishing it with a product designed for hardwood floors. A wooden floor should be polished yearly or every four to six months in high-traffic areas of your house.
Give the Fireplace a Facelift
Give your boring brick fireplace a modern look with a fresh coat of paint. Before you begin this project, thoroughly clean the fireplace to loosen the grime. Also, apply a stain-blocking primer to the clean fireplace to cover soot stains before you paint. Try high-gloss paint for a beautiful, modern look.
Try a New Hue
The simple addition of color can give your cabinets a brand-new look. All you need are the right tools— time, brushes, and a paint color that inspires you. Watch some videos online to learn how to paint cabinets like a pro.
Highlight Your Space with Lighting
Beautiful lights can go a long way in energizing a space, and smart light fixtures can ease eye-intensive tasks. Light a room correctly by creating light layers with task, accent, and ambient lighting. You could also add an attractive sconce, pendant, or chandelier to boost a room’s sophistication instantly.
