Are you looking for an easy yet chic indoor renovation?
Or just a few add-ons to spice up your house?
Here are five modern home improvements to do on a budget!
Repaint Walls
With a new coat of paint, your walls will have a new layer of protection from moisture. Moisture can lead to mold and mildew growth and even more extensive damage to your walls. It can help seal out moisture, reducing the added weight that can put stress on your home’s structural integrity. And with quality paint, all the dirt, dust, and allergens, could be repelled, making it easier to keep your home clean!
Install a Kitchen Backsplash
Backsplashes protect and seal the wall from moisture and stains so you don’t have to worry about issues relating to mold, mildew, or stains. Moreover, to being easy to clean, when properly sealed, your backsplash will be water and stain resistant which will help prevent damage to the areas behind your stove and sink and keep pests away from the kitchen area. Having such a low-maintenance item in the kitchenette will cut down on cleaning time and give you time to focus on enjoying your food creations!
Install some Interior Window Shutters
The top four advantages of having an interior shutter:
Light Control – they provide the ultimate in light control, reducing fading of furniture, soft furnishings and wooden floors
Privacy – this is an important factor today, with so many properties being overlooked or sitting on busy streets
Insulation – as shutters provide an extra barrier between the glass and the room, they help to keep heat in and cold out
Insects – they allow windows and doors to be wide open on glorious summer days and evenings without an invasion of nasty flies and other bugs
Improve Bathroom Flooring
Perhaps your old floors were extremely difficult to clean, had squeaky boards or were particularly scraped or damaged. New floors improve the overall functional aspects of flooring and can alleviate some of the more minor nuisances you’ve dealt with in your home for years. Additionally, your new floors will not have any of the old stains or odors your old floors had! Certain types of flooring are better insulators, but new floors in general help to preserve the temperature inside your home and lower your utility bills.
Front Porch Makeover
You may already have some plants or flowers on your porch, but adding some hanging plants can really help draw the eye up. This pretty porch from Wake + Loom features a grouping of hanging planters in one corner of the porch. They created visual interest by using a variety of materials and mixed metals for the planters they chose.
