Whether you’re prepping your home for a sale or you want to give the old house you just bought a makeover, DIY knowledge is always welcome. After all, not everyone can shell out for cosmetic fixes for their home! And if you can do some of them yourself, then that’s so much better, right?

Entrance Enhancements

You cannot underestimate the importance of first impressions. That’s why if your front door is less than stellar, you should do what you can to enhance its look. You can have it replaced with a new one of course. But you can also repaint it a fun and bold colour! You can also repaint the trim, get new house numbers or door hardware and install new outdoor lighting to improve curb appeal.

Headboard Heaven

Is your bedroom lacking a point of interest? Why not create a standout headboard? You can create one of the things you are passionate about! If you love surfing or skateboarding, you can use old boards and turn them into a fun hobby-themed headboard. You can also salvage old window shutters, doors, tabletops, or fences. Really, you are only limited by your imagination!

Lovely Lighting

It’s always an excellent idea to get a new lighting fixture for the rooms in your house. If you’re on a tight budget, you can do it one room at a time. You don’t even have to buy it! You can transform old lampshades by covering the drum with a fabric that matches your updated décor. You can also paint old chandeliers with a bright color that is far from traditional!

Charming Cabinets

Old cabinets and cupboards with peeling paint can easily make any space look drab. You can give them a fresh layer of paint to instantly transform their look. You can also opt to use wallpapers with interesting patterns! Don’t forget to replace cabinet hardware, too!

Small Space Surprise

A small space doesn’t always have to end up being a drab storage room that no one wants to visit. If your home has a small room that you don’t know what to do with, why not transform it into a home office, a study or reading area, or perhaps a crafts room! You can keep it from making you feel claustrophobic by using palettes and prints that would give it the illusion of a bigger space. Also, add splashes of colours but don’t overdo it!

Simple DIY tweaks like these can instantly give your home a new feel. Try one or even all of them and see the difference a little creativity can make!
