Add Big Value With Inexpensive Home Improvements

TIPSW E E K L Y

FREE

You may have always wanted a big project like renovating an old house. Or you may have fallen in love with a slightly rundown but charming place.

If you can’t afford big-ticket items like renovated kitchens or adding bathrooms; consider small improvements that can make a big difference.

There are plenty of inexpensive tricks that can provide some incentive to perk up your investment, without a complete overhaul. Here’s 7 boosters to get the home beautifi cation process rolling:

1. Modernize the Mess HallBrighten the cabinets in the kitchen with a fresh coat of paint or some updated hardware. Add a new faucet, light fi xtures or change the

window coverings for a more modern feel.

2. Spa SparkleA quick fi xture change, a new toilet seat and fresh accessories can be all you need to brighten up the bathroom. A fresh coat of grout in the shower or maybe even a new pre-fabricated tub can do wonders.

3. Ardent Appliances If new appliances aren’t in the budget, look to re-facing. Some appliance doors can just be fl ipped inside out for the opposite color, so all you need is a screwdriver to update. You can also request new fronts and tops from the manufacturer to create the streamlined look.

4. Machine CleanSpruce up neutral carpets with

a professional cleaning to brighten up the room and clear any unwanted odors or stains. If your carpet is blemished, try placing area rugs or large furniture over the worn spots.

5. Light Up Your LifeBreezy window coverings allow you to control how much natural lighting you’d like to let in, and a strategically placed table lamp or a dramatic chandelier can add character, while making your rooms appear larger and more open.

6. Straighten Out Your StorageCreate space by utilizing closet organizers or wire and laminate shelving in the pantry, closet and garage. Purge some old junk in a yard sale or donate to remove some clutter & make

the space look bigger.

7. Opportunity KnocksChoose a hearty piece of hardware for your front door that emphasizes sturdiness, and a bold color that says, “look at me!” Refi nish the front door with a bright hue or faux fi nish for a refreshing fi rst impression.
