Quick and Cost-Effective Home Updates

February 20, 2012 1:08 am

These days, every homeowner is looking for cost-effective ways to keep their homes fresh and updated. The following DIY home improvement and clean-up suggestions from the experts at Grime Boss will help you touch up your home without spending a fortune:

Repaint the walls
One great way to update your home without having to replace carpeting or furniture is to refresh walls with a fresh coat of paint. Determine the amount of paint needed by using an online calculator. For an inexpensive and quick project, simply update the paint on doors, cabinets and crown molding, rather than the walls. Likewise, you can paint an accent wall along a hallway, or within your kitchen or living room, rather than the entire space.
Replace hardware
If you'd love to renovate, but it's simply not in the budget for this year, make small updates now that you can incorporate into later construction projects. One quick trick is to replace the hardware in highly trafficked areas, such as the kitchen or the bathroom. Replace cabinet handles or knobs and drawer pulls. While replacing hardware, make sure to give your door hinges and drawer tracks a good oiling to prevent squeaking.
Install shelving in the garage
Who couldn't use extra storage space? For many, additional storage may mean looking beyond the house to the garage. Find a variety of storage solutions that fit within your budget—from finishing rod racks to cabinets and overhead ceiling-mounted shelving—at a variety of retail stores.
