Easy Home Updates to Try This Spring
3 Tips & Tricks to Refresh Your Home Quickly and Affordably
1.) PAINT - Painting is the number one most utilized way to quickly and effectively spruce up a home. Whether it be the walls in a small powder bath, the front door, the kitchen cabinets or the entire living space, there is just something about a new shade that can really liven up your space! A crisp hue of white can be used to brighten up a room while a pop of color can be used to add a touch of flare and personality. Painting does not require hiring a professional either! You can DIY the project and take some helpful tips from online resources or someone at your local hardware or paint shop before diving in.
2.) LIGHTING - Upgrading old light fixtures for something more modern or stylistic is another popular way to quite literally brighten up any space! From switching out a flush ceiling light for a modern chandelier or ceiling fan to the lamps next to your bed or even the outdoor sconces on either side of the garage, the possibilities in this category go on! Even simply switching out lightbulbs can be a super quick game changer! Go from dull and low light to white coil LEDs to not only add brightness but also help in a small way with your electricity bill and the length of time the lightbulb will last. Use a bright warm tone bulb to really add warmth and comfort.
3.) ORGANIZE - The third way to update your home comes at little or no cost at all! Simply giving your home a good ‘Spring Cleaning’ is sometimes just the ticket to get things feeling fresh again. This can include sorting through old possessions and either giving them to a friend, donating them or even listing them for sale! Simply taking the time to organize messy cabinets (or that junk drawer we all secretly have) can make us feel productive in this category! Rearranging furniture is a great way to make each space feel new again as well! Shifting the guest bedroom bed to different wall or cornering it, moving that extra side table from the bedroom into the living room and adding a plant or new lamp, or even just switching out old photos in current frames make small but impactful differences!
