While the sun is shining and the weather is fine, why not consider starting some DIY renovation projects throughout your home? Performing a few renovations here and there can even help you to add some value to your home – an important step if you’re thinking of selling soon!
Here are three budget renovations you might want to think about:
Refresh and repaint
Have you ever walked through your home and spotted countless chips, scratches and marks on your walls and ceilings? Perhaps your wallpaper has begun to peel or mould has gotten the better of your bathroom paint?
A few licks of paint throughout your home can do wonders. It’s also an inexpensive and creative way to make your home look new again. Repaint cupboards, walls, ceilings and drawers to freshen up the interior of your home.
Tidy up the backyard
Green thumb or not, it’s easy to get right into your backyard and give it a makeover. All you will need are some gardening tools, a few helping hands and a skip to tidy up your backyard and get it looking neat and tidy.
Topsoil, bark and plants are cheap additions to your backyard and can turn your garden from an overgrown patch into a manicured entertainer’s paradise.
While you’re at it, why not re-stain and refurbish some of your neglected outdoor furniture?
Replace fixtures and fittings
Have a look at the most-used items in your home and determine whether they’re in need of replacement. Items such as taps, door handles, wall switches and light fittings can all easily become worn down over time due to overuse.
However, they’re also not that expensive to replace. You might want to update some of these to ensure they tie in with the new decor in your home and are more functional.
Remember, DIY renovations require you to stick to a strict budget. Always keep this in mind when you’re purchasing tools or hiring extra help.
