Are you looking for fun and easy ways to transform the look of your home? The good news is that there are a number of projects you can complete over the weekend that can completely change the look, and feel, of your home. Some of the easiest and most impactful things you can do to transform your home are detailed here.
Enhance Your Entryway
Chances are, you have heard the phrase “You never get a second chance to make a first impression,” and this holds true to your house as well. Investing in a new, modern front door or simply painting your existing one can change the entire look of your home, while improving your curb appeal as well. Some other simple fixes to improve the exterior of your home include installing new lighting, replacing your house numbers, or repainting the trim.
Replace Your Backsplash
Before you think big bucks, you can choose an inexpensive material, such as tin ceiling tiles; stainless steel, magnetic, or chalkboard paint; wooden beadboard; or even stainless steel. While tile is one of the most popular options, it is not the only one available, and the other options offer a good amount of customized style.
Build Your Own Headboard
You can make headboards out of virtually anything. Try finding something that you like and then turning it into a headboard. For example, you can use old skateboards or skis, or you can even make a collage with family photos or by decoupage magazines.
Add some Architectural Interest
You can change the look and the feel of any room in your house by adding crown molding, a chair rail, new baseboards, or picture molding. In order to make it easier on you, you can ask your home improvement store or lumberyard to cut the pieces to the right size for you. Your job is to ensure that you take accurate measurements.
Install New Lighting
Purchase or install a new lighting fixture over your dining table or in a darker corner. Or, you can add a dimmer switch to your existing lighting to create different moods for the space.
Add New Accessories to Your Cabinets
Replacing the hardware on your cabinets is a simple and affordable method for updating your kitchen or bathrooms. Be sure you look for knobs or pulls that are the same size as your current ones so that you do not have to re-drill the holes.
If you are looking for a way to transform your home, you do not have to undertake massive jobs. In fact, small changes can make a significant impact.
