Budget-Friendly Home Renovations for Every Room in the House

Sunil Chandel HOME/DECOR

Whether you’re planning on selling your home in the next few years, or just want to give your house a makeover for yourself and your family, home renovations don’t have to break the bank. Even the smallest of changes can have a huge impact, so it’s worth taking some time to consider which home upgrades you think would make a difference to your home. From the bedroom to bathroom, and dining room to the kitchen, here is a list of just some of the many budget-friendly home renovations that will totally transform your home:

In the Bedroom

You don’t need a collection of power tools to brighten up your bedroom. It’s easy to add wainscotting or trim to dull bedroom walls or ceilings. To cut down on labor time, consider using prefinished millwork, or finish the job yourself to save even more costs. Another way to easily update your bedroom is by adding a headboard to your bed. If you want to save money, consider making your own DIY headboard.

In the Bathroom

You can transform your bathroom by simply changing the pattern and color of your walls with some funky wallpaper. An accent wall in this room of the house can totally change the look and feel of the bathroom instantly. Another excellent renovation idea is to add more storage. If you don’t have muchroom, tiered carts, leaning ladders, and apothecary cabinets maximize your vertical space.

In the Dining Room

Another budget-friendly home renovation is installing a new light fixture, something that works particularly well in the dining room. For a more contemporary approach, go for pendants instead of a traditional chandelier.

In the Kitchen

If your cabinets are in good shape, new countertops can make a significant change but at a small cost. To save more money, ask your local store or tile company about seconds or remnants that you can take for a discounted price. Equally, changing the backsplash of this room can freshen it up and add visual interest. There are many options for different materials like tile, stone, ceramic, glass, and beaded board that suit any and all renovation budget.

In the Living Room

Changing window treatments with new fabrics, new shades, or a combination of the two can transform any living room space. To save money, try sewing the fabrics yourself, or reuse existing curtain rods and rings. If you are struggling to find the right balance of light in this room, a dimmer switch is a quick and budget-friendly solution to keep this space bright but also allow you to make it darker for a softer ambiance in the evening.

Windows

Experts say that half the experience of living indoors is seeing the outdoors. Therefore, a good home renovation worth investing in are your windows. If you want to increase the property value of your home, as well as the amount of natural light coming into your property, invest in these Cover Glass Texas’ frameless sliding glass patio doors, which will open up your home to outside views and make your property more unique.
