When it comes to giving your home a fresh new look, you don’t have to break the bank for a high-impact upgrade. A few simple, inexpensive, low-effort changes can make a big difference in your home. Whether you’re refreshing to get ready to sell or to simply enjoy your home more, these easy and quick swaps will make your home feel more polished.
Hardware replacement
Yes, swapping out kitchen knobs and cabinet pulls or changing door knobs to match throughout the house might seem basic, but don’t underestimate the impact! No matter your preference, hardware can be a versatile way to show off your personal style. Adding character-rich alternatives like hand-painted ceramic knobs can add a pop of color or texture. Or, if modern is more your look, switching to sleek and minimal pulls can be completely transformative. Simple projects like this take little effort and time and can truly transform a space without a major investment.
Paint trim
Trimwork highlights your home’s features, drawing extra attention to walls, windows, staircases, and other decorative elements. Simply painting trim and covering dated-looking woodwork with a fresh coat of white paint can refresh a whole space. Painting trim an updated color can add a bit of pop to the decorative elements and contributes to a more high-end look. Paint color is another element that tells your style story. For example, choosing a contrasting trim color, such as black, gives a distinctly modern effect.
Light fixture refresh
If that old light overhead makes you cringe every time you flip the switch, it’s time to upgrade! Swapping out an old light fixture for a new one instantly updates the ambiance of your space. It’s yet another way to bring your personal style into your home and add design to function. If you’re simply replacing a fixture with another, you can easily tackle the job yourself with no electrician needed. Lighting fixtures costs vary, but there are plenty of excellent low-budget options to get a big bang for your buck.
Sometimes the smallest change can truly transform your space without a major renovation. With a bit of creativity and effort, you can highlight your home’s strengths even on a tight budget.
