Has your home been feeling a little drab lately? After being cooped up in the house all winter, you probably notice every imperfection.
Luckily, springtime is finally here which means it's a great time to take on some remodeling projects.
Don't fret if you're afraid you can't afford a total home makeover. Updating your house doesn't have to cost a fortune!
Tweaking small, inexpensive elements here and there can actually make a big impact. Check out these cheap remodeling ideas for projects to tackle this spring.
1. Give the Cabinets Some TLC
Cabinets in your kitchen or bathroom can pull a lot of focus when people enter the room. Giving them an update can really transform the whole area.
The only problem? Installing new cabinets is a huge expense. Luckily, you can get a new look for less.
First, try painting your cabinets. This will make them look fresh and helps hide imperfections like knicks and scratches.
When the paint's dry, install some fresh hardware. Since you're not spending money on new cabinets, you can easily afford to buy some upscale knobs and pulls.
2. Update the Outdoors
Repainting your whole house will cost you a ton. But you can still make the exterior of your home look fresh on a budget.
Start by giving the house and patio a pressure wash. You might think you needed a new paint job when really it was just a little dirty from the winter.
Then, change the look of the house by painting the front door. A fun pop of color can make the overall presentation of your home a lot more exciting.
After that, give your patio a fresh wood stain. It's cheap to do it on your own, and you can easily finish it over a Saturday afternoon.
3. Try a Removable Wallpaper Accent Wall
Repainting a room is tedious and messy. Wallpapering a room is twice as difficult and even worse to remove if you get sick of it.
That's why you should try using removable wallpaper on an accent wall.
A dramatic wallpaper put up behind a bed or living room couch will liven up the whole space. Removable wallpaper is a lot easier to put on than permanent wallpaper.
When you're over it, it peels off cleanly. No elbow grease required.
This is a fantastic option especially if you're a renter. You can give your room a facelift without having to worry about losing your security deposit!
Another bonus of removable wallpaper is you can use any extra bits left over on other unexpected DIY projects. You can apply it as an accent on cabinets, stairs, and more.
