Whether you’re preparing your home to sell or just want to upgrade for your own pleasure, it’s possible to make big changes without taking out a second mortgage. With some education and planning, these easy diy home renovations will make a significant impact in your living space.
1. Upgrading Shelving
If you’re tired of looking at cluttered countertops, consider adding floating or mounted shelves to your home. This simple project can give you more storage and display space, plus it’s a great way to incorporate a stylish design element into your home. 2. Installing Hardwood Floors
Replace your dated carpet with wood floors to create a modern, yet timeless look in your home. This affordable DIY project will add value to your property and is easier to clean than carpet.
3. Restoring and repurposing Furniture
If you have a creative eye, it’s possible to give old furniture a new life with sanding, painting, or upholstery. For example, Kelin Zhao of Hydrangea Treehouse created a covetable closet from IKEA’s Trofast furniture line with a few simple hacks and some cabinetry-grade plywood.
4. Adding Backsplash
Update your kitchen or bathroom with a backsplash that will add style and functionality to your home. This is an easy DIY project that you can complete in a day or two and requires little-to-no demolition.
