Hello World! Welcome Friends! Your old home is likely to need some TLC if you are looking to make it feel new. There are many ways you can give your old house a fresh look-from updating the color of the exterior paint to adding new door handles. It’s time to freshen up that dated kitchen with a new countertop! Here are 6 home improvement ideas that will help you transform your home into a fresh, modern space in just one weekend.
1. Transform Your Flooring
There is no better way to give your home a new feel than by updating your flooring. You can easily update the color or design of your floor with modern alternatives that are more cost-effective than you may think. For example, check out vinyl tiles. They are easy to install and come in different styles, colors, designs, and textures. They are also durable, waterproof, and affordable. There are plenty of flooring specialists in Australia you can choose from. Make sure to do plenty of research to make sure you get the best quality for your money.
2. Replace Doorknobs
Doorknobs are an easy and inexpensive way to update your home. Replacing old doorknobs with new, modern ones will make a huge difference in the appearance of your doors. You can also change knobs on cabinets or drawers for a coordinated look throughout rooms. The doorknobs you choose don’t have to be expensive either. You can find them at hardware stores for a reasonable price. Just make sure to compare prices and quality before you purchase any.
3. Go Green and Add Green
Replace your old, outdated bathroom fixtures with green ones for a fresh new look that is good for the planet too! From faucets and shower heads to toilet seats and towel racks, sustainable materials are the way to go. Look for options made with recycled or recyclable content, low VOCs (volatile organic compounds), and a smaller carbon footprint in general.
Don’t forget about adding some indoor plants to your home. Not only will they give your home a fresh feel, but they could also improve the air quality of the rooms where you place them. Some easy-to-care-for houseplants include spider plants, peace lilies, and golden pothos. The best indoor plants also include aloe, rubber trees, and Ficus Benjamina. However, if you would like an indoor tree and need a tree for indoors, then we recommend Chinese elm bonsai or Japanese maple bonsai.
4. Freshen Up Your Fixtures
Faucets, shower heads, shut-off valves, tub spouts, lighting fixtures, towel bars, toilet paper holders-you can freshen up the look of any fixture in your bathroom with modern updates. Replacing these items won’t be too difficult or expensive either. You can find them online or at hardware stores saving you both time and money. There are so many options to choose from that it’s likely you’ll find something that matches your style perfectly.
5. Update Your Kitchen
Kitchen updates are another great way to give your home a fresh look. Make sure to replace all the handles on cabinets and drawers so they match. You can update the color of your kitchen walls or paint them in bright, light colors that reflect light into darker rooms for an instant update without too much expense. Try changing out faucets, cabinet hardware pulls, lighting fixtures, countertops, appliances-all these elements will help give your old home a new feel with minimal effort and cost. Make sure to also change any cabinets that have had water damage.
6. Think Outside the Box
One great way to give your rooms a fresh look is by updating their lighting! Rather than leaving all the lighting fixtures and lamps you currently have, why not take what you like and replace them with new options? You can find great ones at discount stores or even online. Lighting updates could be as simple as replacing one lamp in a room or swapping out three ceiling lights to completely change how a room looks. A great example is to replace dated chandeliers with sleek, modern versions. If you’re just not sure where to start when it comes to updating your home, the best way is to think big and be bold!
Overall there are many cheap and easy ways to give your home a fresh look without spending too much time or money on the updates. Now that you know how to update the look of your home in one weekend, it’s time to get started! Freshening up your home will work wonders when it comes to making it feel new again.
