6 Home Improvement Projects That Don't Break the Bank

LOS ANGELES, April 12, 2021 (Newswire.com) - Everyone has been spending a lot more time at home over the past year. And that means you've had a bit more time to look around the house and see all of the costly home renovations you've been imagining.

The good news is there are inexpensive home improvement projects that you can get done quickly and without breaking the bank.

Install New Hardware in the Kitchen

When you're cooking and eating at home, you're probably also spending a lot more time in your kitchen than before. One of the easiest ways to give this space a facelift is to upgrade hardware on kitchen cabinets.

Count all of your pulls and handles to determine how many you'll need to replace. Then check out the sale section of a local cabinet store or look online to see if you can get a deal on new pulls. With prices averaging $3-7 per pull, you can likely refresh all of your kitchen cabinets for less than $100.

Paint an Accent Wall

Paint is a magical home improvement project tool. It can make a significant impact with minimal effort and little money spent on supplies. Creating an accent wall on one wall of a space can completely change a room's look and alter focus upon entry.

Go for a bold color, then use that same color in pillows or art to pull it all together. Painting is also an excellent activity for the whole family. Make sure to put down drop cloths or plastic to protect floors before kids get ahold of the rollers!

Convert a Closet to an Office

Some spaces in the home just turn into dumping grounds for all the junk we don't want to deal with. But how about cleaning out a closet and turning it into a functional space instead?

Merely removing the contents, taking down shelving, and putting a fresh coat of paint on the walls can turn a former storage locker into a livable area. If you have an old desk/table, chair, and lamp or can find one at a yard sale for cheap, you've now got a small, quiet, functional space great for work or school at home.

Power Wash and Stain the Deck

The wear and tear of the weather can make decks look faded and old pretty quickly. If you have a power washer or can borrow one for free, blasting away any old chipped paint can instantly refresh the surface. From there, you can opt for a stain or just a sealant to finish the surface and make it instantly more appealing.

Replace Recessed Lights with LED Lights

Dim lighting can really be a downer on a room. Not only do LED lights brighten up a space, but they also save money on the energy bills over time. Count existing recessed lights and plan to replace all of the lighting in one room at a time. You might be amazed at how much brighter your living space can be with just this one minor, inexpensive tweak.

Revamp the Entryway

If your home's entrance is looking a bit dull, several small updates can turn it into an eye-pleasing welcoming experience. A fresh coat of paint on the front door in a vibrant color can make the door pop.

But also think about things like installing a new door knocker, replacing the handle, or adding house numbers on the side. Choose a similar or complementary finish between each of the elements to keep things neat. Then all that's left to do is revel in your heightened curb appeal.

The Bottom Line

There are plenty of easy home improvement projects that will add value and appeal to your home without breaking the bank. With a bit of creativity, time, and elbow grease, your living spaces can go from drab to fab, one project at a time!
