4 Affordable Home Renovations That Make a Big Statement

Not all home improvement projects need to involve large-scale changes or lots of money. There are many smaller, less expensive things that can be done to keep your home feeling fresh without breaking the bank. Even a few small changes can give you – and your home – the boost that you need.

Fresh Paint

A new color and/or some freshly painted walls can quickly transform any room. If you’re craving a big change, choose a bright, bold color to add some new life. Or, give your current color a fresh coat and choose some new decor to add to the walls.

Schedule Cleaning

Though this may seem like sheer common sense, it’s actually a pretty important tip. By setting and sticking to a cleaning schedule, your home will always be company-ready and you won’t have to rush around for the hour before guests are set to arrive scrubbing toilets and picking up clutter.

Built-In Furniture

This is a trend seen by a lot of contractors putting up new construction, but built-in furniture also is crossing into the territory of home renovation. Built-ins create functional storage space without encroaching on floor space. They are a great way to add an old-school feel to even modern homes!

Eco-Friendly Appliances

If it’s been years since you’ve replaced that oven or refrigerator, your appliances probably aren’t functioning at their peak. Check out some more energy-efficient, eco-friendly appliances and save money on energy in the long run. If you’re looking for eco-friendly impact without a massive up-front spend, consider switching out smaller items such as light bulbs, batteries, and fans.
