If you’d like to upgrade your living spaces on a budget, you can complete plenty of home improvement projects for less than $100. Let’s look at a few cost-effective ways to update your home and increase your property value.
Update Your Light Fixtures
One of the easiest ways to improve any room in your home is to update the light fixtures. Whether you choose a modern ceiling fan or a stylish chandelier, new fixtures are an inexpensive way to elevate the look of any room instantly. New light fixtures are available for between $40 and $75 to add character and style to any room.
Update Your Home with an Accent Wall
Painting an accent wall is an easy way to make a big impact on your home. Whether you’re looking for something bold or subtle, an accent wall creates a focal point in the bedroom, living room, or kitchen. This project adds personality and character to a room, can create the illusion of space, and provides visual interest.
Painting an accent wall isn’t complicated or expensive – you only need paint and a steady hand. Before painting, decide which color would work best with the existing décor. Be sure to use high-quality paint so your new shade will last.
Install a New Doorbell
A doorbell may not seem like something to improve, but a new one can add a modern touch to the front porch. You can buy new doorbells with features such as motion sensors and Wi-Fi capabilities for between $50 and $100. It will give your entryway an updated look, and a new video doorbell improves home security.
Refinish the Cabinets to Update Your Home
Replacing old kitchen cabinets can be costly, but refinishing them is much less expensive. Refinishing cabinets is relatively easy and requires minimal supplies. You’ll only need sandpaper, primer, paintbrush, paint, and a sander (which you can rent). This project will take about two days, depending on the number of cabinets. You’ll spend more time than money on the supplies for this project which cost less than $100.
Rearrange the Furniture
Home improvements are often easier and less expensive than you think. One of the simplest yet most effective ways to give a room a facelift is by moving the furniture. Rearrange any room to create a new look.
Rearranging furniture can create more functional spaces and allow for better use of natural light. It may also help to de-clutter an area with too many pieces. Before rearranging, consider how you could use the space better. When done successfully, this will result in an attractive aesthetic with fewer items taking up valuable floor space.
Homeowners can complete these updates with time and materials that cost under $100. From updating light fixtures to refinishing cabinets, these DIY projects will refresh any space in your house while also adding value.
