Beyond Dawlish

Every home needs to be renovated at some point, but that can be a frightening thought simply because of the cost of the project.  You might not be able to afford hiring a professional contractor to complete the project, but that is no reason to give up on the idea of an upgraded home.  There are several ways you can upgrade your home on a tight budget without hiring professionals.  First and foremost it is important to set a strict budget with little flexibility.  It is possible to renovate or upgrade your home for under $1,000.  The trick is just knowing where to start.  Here are some affordable options for renovating and upgrading your home.

Starting with paint

According to Beauty and Bedlam, new paint is a must if you are renovating or upgrading your home.  Paint can make all the difference when it comes to giving a home a fresh new feel, and sometimes that is all a home needs.  Painting is pretty inexpensive compared to other home updating and renovating projects, and it is an easy way to increase the value of a home.  If you are looking to change the look of your walls, install crown molding to add texture and make your home look even more expensive.  Never underestimate the power of paint.  Once you have painted your home, keep extra paint so you can touch up the walls when necessary.

Inexpensive upgrades

When choosing where to start your renovation or upgrade project, it is wise to start in the kitchen because that is where most time is spent in the home, and if you are planning on selling your home the kitchen is the easiest place to increase the value of the home with upgrades.  If your cabinets are outdated, do not replace them with expensive custom made cabinetry.  Instead, paint or stain the cabinets you already have and install new hardware to make them look new and custom made.  Consider installing a backsplash and new light fixtures to give your kitchen a brand new look for a low cost.  Materials for these projects are affordable, and can make an amazing difference when it comes to the look of your home.

DIY projects

Do-it-yourself projects are all the rage, and can be completed by people on all skill levels.  Spend time online viewing tutorials to see which projects you can complete on your own.  Work with materials you already have before you purchase new ones.  Modernize furniture you already have by making new throw pillows or adding modern décor.  Put your own twist on your home décor because your home should reflect you and your family are.  Keep in mind that home décor styles frequently go in and out of style, so avoid spending too much money on the latest décor styles.
