As you already know, home decorating and renovating can be rather expensive. A gallon of high-quality paint can cost anywhere from $25 to $40 or more. However, you should not let these estimates prevent you from sprucing up your home, because there are ways around these expenses. If you start the project with a budget and plan, you will receive the results you desire without breaking the bank. Below, you will discover several things you can do to refresh the style of your home.
Update The Front Door
When you meet someone face-to-face for the first time, the first you and the other person notices is each other’s face. This is only natural and the same principle applies to a stranger and your home. The first thing someone sees when he or she enters onto your property is the front door. You would be surprised with what an impression a front door can make. You do not need to replace or paint the door, adding a new knocker or wreath will do the trick.
Add New Drapes
Drapes can either make or break the appearance of any room. If the drapes’ design is dull and unattractive, the entire room will take on the same appearance. Many homeowners will choose to switch out or replace their drapes at least twice a year. Instead of tossing the drapes in the trash bin, wash and put them away for the next season. When you pull them out the next time, they will feel as if they are brand new.
Some home designers recommend replacing heavy drapes with airy ones in the spring and vice versa in the fall. This is a great way to liven up your home without spending a lot of money.
Adding A New Appliance
There is no doubt that most people have very little space in their refrigerator. This can make it very difficult to store all of your sodas, water bottles, and wine in your conventional fridge. So, if you’re looking for an affordable way to spruce up your home, you should definitely consider adding a new appliance. A mini-fridge will definitely do the trick. Alternatively, you should consider adding a wine cooler to your kitchen. Doing so will prove to be a great decision.
This will provide you with additional storage space and it may even enhance your home’s aesthetics.
Update Ceiling Fans
In today’s modern world, nearly every home has one or two ceiling fans. These products not only provide a room with fresh air, but also can enhance the room. If the ceiling fans in your home are drab and old, you do not need to replace them to make them more attractive. Many big box stores offer universal blade replacements and accessories for ceiling fans.
If you do not want to invest in a new set of blades, you can remove the existing blades and paint or stain them. You can also do the same thing to your ceilings and tables. A fresh coat of paint will do wonders for any décor or piece of furniture.
