Have you found yourself doing more home projects in the last few months than you have in several years? If so, you aren’t alone. Many people across the country are using the extra time at home to work on some home improvement projects. Fortunately, there are many easy steps you can take to update your home without doing elaborate remodels or breaking the bank.
Add lighting. Proper lighting can have a big impact on a room, making it appear more airy, open, and welcoming. Place tall floor lamps in dark corners, or consider replacing outdated fixtures with updated lighting that transforms the look of the space.
Update cabinets. Changing up the cabinets in your home could have a significant impact on the overall look of your kitchen. If you have the time and want to make a big change, consider painting the cabinets to make them look more up to date. For a faster, simpler change, try updating your drawer pulls and door handles. A farmhouse-style kitchen can look chic with some modern stainless steel knobs, while you may want to go for vintage doorknobs in a more modern kitchen.
Update window treatments. If your only window treatments are boring vertical blinds, it’s time for an update. This is another area that can make a major impact without breaking the bank, and your options are virtually limitless. You could go for a minimalist look with some simple bamboo shades, embrace a beachy vibe with white sheers, or go bold with geometric panels. You’ll be amazed at how new window treatments can transform a room.
