Ways To Upgrade Your Home

Whichever idiom, phrase, or motivational speech is needed for you to move on from those brass handles and doorknobs and leap into present day, write it on a Sticky Note and get started. Whether you have been looking to revitalize your home’s look, inquisitive or exploratory in finding the best means to remodel your kitchen and bathroom, or hoping to titivate your home to a dapper and elegant belle maison that potential buyers will fall in love with (and French is said to be the language of love), there is a large variety of resources available to accomplish your goal without burning holes in your pockets.

Newspaper advertisement after billboard after commercial emblazes the public with a plethora of ways to dress to impress on a budget, to feed your family with five dollar meal deals, and consolidate our internet and cable bills into one low monthly payment. But why stop there? You’ve wanted to swap out those old wooden cabinets with new, colorful sheet-glass cabinets, but feel that the price for the materials and installation would far exceed your budget. You have reached out to contractors and had your feelings hurt once they’ve afforded you a quote for your kitchen to be remodeled. It’s time for you take matters into your own hands and feel happy when the task is accomplished.

Give your cabinets a makeover

Consider your cabinets the teeth of your home. You must reveal them to your visitors regardless of whether or not they are in good condition. You expose them during social events and broadcast them brightly as the sun gleams. Maintain them or have your friends and associates turn their faces away from you to attenuate their discriminating and nervous expressions.

You can save thousands on cabinet makeover with simple, subtle paint finishes and additions:

• Hang colorful and fun wallpaper behind a glass-front cabinet to highlight and distinguish.

• Paint the interior of your glass-front cabinets to match or contrast the colors of your kitchen.

• Buy a can of chalkboard paint (prices vary between $11.00-$16.00) and spray an old cabinet for a brand new style and message board.

• Remove the doors of your cabinets to insinuate a much larger and breathable kitchen and cabinet space. 

• To update your cabinets to a more modern, trendy appeal, replace the traditional cabinetry knobs with tubular bar pulls for a more stylish look.

Wall Coverings Keep It Together 

Wall coverings clothe your home. Notice the use of “home” rather than “house.” Your home is the interior space that makes you feel safe and comfortable as you snuggle up on the sofa under a blanket and read your favorite novel. The interior of your home should match your personality and provide you a sense of security. Although comfort is essential to the mood of your home, this necessity does not have to empty your wallet.

Designs are bountiful in terms of wall coverings. The styles are as unique as you are so be sure to take your time in finding the perfect match for you and your living space. Reflective, vinyl-coated wallpaper for the retro hipster, leather tile and iron curtains for the industrialist, cork and cork veneer for jagged and non-conforming types, and simple wood veneers for those that want more modern looking wall coverings, the styles continue limitlessly.

Take the time to carefully plan your home upgrade and find the styles that reflect your vision and what you want to be perceived. Make the process fun and enjoyable and most importantly, budget friendly. Take a weekend and reproduce or resurrect your home. Your home is your canvas.
