Remodeling your home is essential to ensuring your property is in tip-top shape, your family is healthy, and increases resale value. However, despite these benefits, the cost of remodeling cannot go unnoticed. The statistics show that American homeowners spend an average of almost $12,000 on renovations each year! Understandably, this cost may not be one you can afford, but that doesn’t mean you should miss out on the advantages of remodeling your home. Here are three simple DIY home remodeling projects you should consider carrying out this year.
Repaint your interior
After being exposed to dust, dirty hands, and regular wear and tear, the paint on your walls, cabinets, drawers, and doors begins to fade out or peel off. As you can imagine, this is not an appealing look. A quick and cheap fix you can give your home is taking on a repainting project. There are several reasons why a repaint job is a great idea. It hides the flaws of your walls, minimizes the effects of dust and dirt, boosts curb appeal, and increases your property’s value.
When repainting, be sure to select colors that complement the overall style of the room and home. For example, if you’re going for a modern bathroom look, you would want to ensure you repaint your cabinets and drawers white, as that usually fits the theme. You should also avoid using cheap paint as this would not serve you or your home well. Lastly, watch tutorial videos online to better equip yourself for the tasks and to ensure you do a great job.
Restore your flooring
The importance of flooring in a home is a component several homeowners overlook. However, your flooring is quite important! It contributes to the first impression your home gives a guest. For instance, you may have a beautifully colored and designed living room, but that can all be undone due to your squeaky floorboards. Additionally, your floors are exposed to a lot of wear and tear. Therefore, updating your flooring is a vital remodeling project you should consider, and fortunately, you can do this on your own. You can replace old carpets or retile chipped and broken tiles. If you have wooden floorboards, you should consider replacing them and covering them with an epoxy floor coating to give them a glossy finish, protect the wood, and keep it durable for an extended period. Although you may be able to do this yourself, it is advisable to hire the services of a professional.
Increase space
After staying in a house for a while, it may seem like you suddenly don’t have enough space. You can consider creating new rooms to create more space, but this option is expensive. The budget-friendly option is to declutter. Believe it or not, clutter is the foremost reason your home seems to lack space. By decluttering, you can open up your home more, creating space. You also implement smart storage strategies making your home more functional and spacious.
