Home Improvements That Won't Break The Wallet

Taking on home improvement tasks doesn’t have to be a pocket draining endeavor. Minor and affordable tasks can be completed that can make your home look new again. If you have a few extra bucks and time over the weekend you can tackle these small tasks to make your home sparkle.

Add new paint

Repainting your walls can make your home look like new. As the years go by your walls can encounter any number of marks, scuffs, and fading. This can leave your home looking dated. By applying a fresh coat of paint, you can elevate your living space.

Current trends in paint give your home a warm and inviting feel. Now, warm and vibrant colors are go-tos for making your home look modern. If you don’t feel like painting an entire room, accent walls can pull the eye to a wall and create a mood that speaks to your home’s design.

Add a wall decal

Most of us loved stickers as a child. Why not add “stickers” to your home. Decals are easy to apply and can really add flair to a living space. Homeowners can add floral decals, chevron decals, tribal decals and everything in between. Unlike wallpaper, decals can be removed fairly easily when you want to try something new.

Do Some Spot Cleaning

As our homes age, they begin to look like faded remnants of the past. Sometimes, all it takes is a little elbow grease goes a long way. A spruce up of your place is inexpensive and can add shine back into your appliances, lighting fixtures, walls, baseboards, and floors. You can achieve a updated look by purchasing wood polish, all-purpose cleaners and dusters.
