Top 5 Home Improvement Projects That Won’t Break the Bank

Wide Open Spaces

It’s not just the Dixie Chicks who like wide open spaces ⁠— you can benefit from an open concept design, too. If an open-concept design is out of your reach due to budget constraints, consider turning to mirrors. A DIY project that links several mirrors into one can create a work of art that changes how the room feels. There are countless ways to arrange all kinds of mirrors to create the feeling of having more space.

Shelves

If you have plenty of books, knick-knacks, blankets, and other household items just sitting around, you may feel cluttered. DIY ladder shelves can solve storage problems in just about any room by adding a stylish flair. Plywood and plenty of stain (and time to dry) can add character to any room that needs extra storage. Bathroom shelving can be hung on the wall or fit into tight spaces. The extra nooks and crannies from shelves are great for stuff you may not need every day, but that you still want to have handy. You can use drawer dividers to keep your bathroom drawers better organized between your family members.

Spruce Up the Front Door

You can breathe new life into the exterior appearance of your home by painting your front door. A fresh coat of paint that complements the exterior of your home draws attention to it from the street. You’ll need paint, brushes, rollers, and a good bit of painter’s tape to get started. Make a statement with your front door by painting it to stand out.

Improve Energy Efficiency

As the summer draws to a close and the harsh winter weather will soon be approaching, it’s a good idea to take a walk around the perimeter of your home to ensure adequate energy efficiency. By properly sealing around doors & windows, adding extra insulation to outlets that share an exterior wall, even adding a layer of caulk between the floor and base molding, you can minimize any drafts that can cause the cold weather to enter and the furnace to kick on more often than it should. This can also be beneficial in the summer to minimize electric bills for air conditioner usage.
