With summer just around the corner, are you looking for ways to have your home look and feel different or refreshed? If the cost and prospect of an extensive renovation is undesirable, why not take on smaller projects that can give your home a new look on a budget?
First and foremost, decide how much money you can allocate for renovation and make a budget. Before you splurge, first determine what design or functionality needs you wish to accomplish through your upgrades.
Next, before you purchase any materials or appliances, do your research. Whether it’s going to visit model homes, retail showrooms, or perusing magazines and online sources, research will go a long way to help maintain focus and clarity to achieve your project goals.
When contemplating what upgrades to make, consider these ideas for affordable interior upgrades throughout the home.
Kitchens
Repaint existing cabinets and/or replace hardware.
Add porcelain ceramic tile. Porcelain tile comes in different patterns and grades and is an affordable alternative to stone. Consider vinyl tile for a budget-friendlier option. Select a groutable tile for a more realistic look.
Replace a countertop. Simply replacing a countertop can help make a kitchen feel refreshed. Consider a durable quartz or sealable surface. On a budget? An attractive laminate can work well.
