Are you looking to liven up your house for this coming spring, but don’t have that much money to spend? Don’t let money get in your way, as there are plenty of home improvement plans you can carry out without breaking your budget. Your house is a reflection of you and therefore should change as you change. Don’t be stuck with the same outdated rooms, walls, and colors. Look to breathe a little bit of life into your house with a few small projects here and there.
Here are some affordable home improvement plans you can make in the spring.
A New Electric Shower
A shower is one of the most commonly used things in the house and no one wants to shower in an old, moldy, cold stall. An upgrade isn’t even as expensive as you might think. Another thing to consider is that older showers use up much more energy, so while replacing your shower will cost money, you can save money in the long-term with a much more energy-efficient shower. If you are unsure about the kilowatts or KW your shower uses, you can read this guide on KW, to see if you can save yourself some money. Don’t get stuck in a shower that can’t heat water properly or provides weak water pressure. Take the time to upgrade your shower. As they say, the best thinking occurs within a shower, so give it an upgrade and improve the way your brain works.
Improve Your Kitchen Storage and Cupboards
Whether you are looking to sell your home or just upgrade it for yourself, having more kitchen storage is always appreciated. If storage is something you don’t need, then look to modernize the look of your kitchen by improving the cupboards. Cupboards are one of the first things people see when they enter your home and come into your kitchen, therefore they can set the tone for the rest of your house. Bring your home out of the past by upgrading and improving your kitchen storage for more space and a better aesthetic.
Change The Colors
One of the best ways to make a house look new without spending much money is by changing the colors of the house itself. If you have wallpaper in a room that you have never been a fan of, perhaps this is the time to rip it off and replace it with a new color and design. Or maybe you can grab a can of paint and give it a new smooth coat of paint on it. It doesn’t have to be walls either that you paint. Look to paint over your cabinets in the kitchen or any wood features you have in your home. Keep your home looking fresh by changing the colors this spring.
Shine Your Floors
If you have hardwood or laminate for floors, it can lose its shine over time through exposure to dirt, dust, and footprints. By taking the time to buy products to help give the floor some shine, your floors can look brand new again and give them an elegant look. Wood floors should be polished at least once a year if not more depending on how often the room is used. This can easily be done by yourself also, keeping the job cheap and easy.
Outdoor Lights for Your Deck and Backyard
If your backyard is a common hangout place for you and your family, look into making it more usable as the later hours hit. Adding some lights onto your deck, patio, and garden, can bring attention to the beautiful features of your backyard and allow people to stay outside much longer into the night. This cheap upgrade is bound to improve your home and as spring approaches, you will find yourself going out more and more anyways. If you live in a manufactured home, you can also consider mobile home skirting for added roof durability.
Change your Countertops
Countertops are often left out and forgotten about when it comes to home improvement plans. These can easily be replaced, repainted, and changed to match a new aesthetic within your house. If you have recently painted a room like your kitchen or bathroom, look to change the countertop so that it matches all the work you put in. Small things like this make a huge difference in improving the overall look of your house.
Never let your wallet dictate what you can and cannot do with your house. There are plenty of affordable tips and tricks you can employ to turn your home into your dream house. Always try to modernize objects within your home and don’t be afraid to repaint the walls to create all-new atmospheres. How are you going to improve your house?
