Want to quickly and easily make your space feel like a million bucks? You don’t need to spend a fortune on home renovations or a house makeover. Here’s how!
No pain(t), no gain
When last did you repaint? Walls get grubby with time, and sometimes the colour that was chosen
way back when isn’t what is in right now. Neutrals are always a winner, but why not increase your curb appeal by painting your front door a bright colour? Afterall, the entrance to your home can make a big impression when done right.
New feature
Feature walls are popular right now and painting or applying removable wallpaper to just one part of a room is a lot less of a commitment than spending weeks doing home renovations. If you really want to keep it simple, consider a gallery wall or contrasting trim work – it can really highlight your home’s existing attributes or change the whole look of a room.
Get a handle on it
It sounds so simple, but why not replace the handles in your home? We’re talking kitchen cabinets, bathroom vanity or bedroom drawers. Not only is it one of the easiest and affordable home renos out there, it will give your place a more modern feel. You can even start matching fixtures, like lights and showerheads, to your new handles to create a cohesive feel.
Back with a splash
Four words - peel and stick tiles. They are an excellent way to update your kitchen or any small space without the major renovation costs. They are really easy to apply and go a long way to giving your space a refresh. There are countless designs to choose from, so you’ll definitely find something that accentuates your existing furnishings or appliances.
Watts up!
If your room doesn’t say “lights, camera, action!” everytime you flip the switch, it might be time to ditch the old light fixture and get a new one. Pair your new lights with the hardware used in the room or make it a centrepiece – it’ll take your space from drab to fab in a matter of moments.
End on a high note
Have you ever walked into a home with high ceilings? It has the ability to make the space feel much grander than it is. Since physically raising your ceiling height isn’t a possibility for many who are planning a house makeover or a quick home DIY, you can easily create the illusion by hanging your curtain rods closer to the ceiling. Pair it with long, flowing drapes and you’re set!
