Easy Home Improvement Projects You Can Do In Quarantine
We’ve spent more time at home than we ever had to, and as a result there’s been an increase in DIY renovations, decor and home improvement projects.
When we spend more time in the same place we start to notice things we don’t like and areas in our homes that we can enhance and improve. This isn’t a bad thing, in fact it gives us a chance to make our homes feel more comfortable and for us to make an impact. Some areas don’t require huge overhauls but changing them can totally change the look and feel of your home.
But you don’t always know what to do in these areas, and this is where you need some ideas to get your creative juices flowing. Here are a few ways you can bring new life to some of the old corners in your home.
Clean Dirty Exterior Walls
According to a Lakeland Florida home improvement company, “pressure washing is a great way to transform walls that have seen better days and make them look good as new without paint.
Exterior walls are often beaten down and affected by the elements, but pressure washing removes years of layers of dirt and grime in a very short time.” If there’s an external wall in your house that needs some attention, consider this highly effective service.
Transform Rough Walls
If you have interior walls that are looking rough, it’s actually easy to restore them on your own. You can sand them down, fill them to make them smoother, and paint them to give them a total makeover.
You can take this a step further by adding accents to the wall, like floating shelves to display stuff, or adding peel-and-stick wallpaper to make the wall stand out. These are all things you can do on your own over a weekend, and they don’t require a whole lot of money to achieve a great look.
Printable Artwork
Artwork is a great way to refresh a space and to make a room feel more high design. When most people think art, they think it has to be pricey but it doesn’t have to be.
Nowadays, you can go on Etsy and buy prints or you can buy affordable canvas prints and purchase a frame and put it up on your walls in no time. This can transform any room, from bedrooms and bathrooms and especially hallways that look too plain.
Lighting Fixtures
Standard light fixtures can make a home feel like it isn’t really your space that truly shows off your style and your personalities. You can easily put your unique stamp on these by changing chandeliers, fixtures and even lightbulbs.
Lighting is an often overlooked part of what gives a space ambience and style, and it also doesn’t cost an arm and a leg to switch it up.
Declutter
Believe it or not, but removing clutter from your home can make it look not only better, it can make it look more spacious too. Sometimes the greatest enhancements we can make to our homes isn’t about adding something, it’s about cleaning up and removing what isn’t necessary.
You can declutter your backyard, bedrooms and even a kitchen and invest in hidden storage so there aren’t too many things on your surfaces. A room that’s been decluttered will feel more airy and less dated. Take the Marie Kondo approach, get rid of anything that isn’t sparking joy and store it till you need it or donate it.
Old Floors
Old and outdated flooring used to be such a pain and a high to replace, but now there are ways to transform your floors without all the hassle of before.
If you have bathroom and kitchen floors that need a refresh, you can get waterproof and moisture-proof tile and floor stickers that can go over any flooring you like.
Floors make a huge difference to a space when they are replaced and nowadays, you can order them online and have them installed in a couple of hours. No need for tiles and grout!
We all have more time on our hands than we know what to do with right now, and there’s only so much Netflix you can watch. This makes it the perfect time to take on a home improvement project that can help you enhance your home to make it a place you don’t mind spending all your time in.
These projects don’t have to be huge. In fact, sometimes the smallest enhancement will make a huge impact and make your home feel like it got the ultimate interior decorator experience!
