If you’re looking for home improvements on a budget, and how can I do my own DIY home projects? Look no further, this post is for you.
Just because the Covid-19 crisis has hit the world, doesn’t mean that your whole life has to be put on hold. While we are adjusting to a new normal, there are still easy diy home improvements that can be done to create a living space you love. If you are concerned about the housing market, your job stability, and the wider economic climate, you might not be eager to spend a lot of money. Your home improvements don’t need to be hard or cost a ton of money to have a big impact on the look of your home.
Home improvements have a habit of getting out of control and it’s crucial that you are able to stick to a budget. An easy way to come up with a plan is by going room by room and listing every single job that you need or want to complete. This way you can come up with a budget for the smallest project like replacing new hardware on doors to the larger tasks like installing a brand new kitchen. Today I will share some DIY ideas for home improvement perfect for beginners and the good news is you can do them without breaking the bank.
The Bedroom
Think about how to create the perfect haven of relaxation in your bedroom. When renovating your bedroom, you need a comfy bed, this is a priority. Don’t assume that you need to fork out a small fortune to find the perfect mattress. You can see more ideas for discounted bedroom sets across the Internet. Going for a suite of bedroom furniture may be the simplest way to save money rather than buying your bed, chest of drawers, and bedside tables separately. Another idea is to create the look you want by giving an older item a makeover. One of my DIY home improvement beginner projects for my bedroom was this repurposed credenza sideboard.
Wood floors were something we looked into initially but the cost was out of our budget. We opted for carpet because it was a lot cheaper. By using off-cuts there’s a good chance you can save up to half the recommended retail price because they are at the end of a roll.
The Living Room
Our living room has been a work in progress. You can find discounts and deals on places like Facebook Marketplace, Nextdoor, Craigslist, etc. This is how we started after we were first married. It’s also fun to makeover thrift store furniture for your home. You can see some examples of DIY beginner projects here. Now as we’ve upgraded our furniture we have looked at big commercial stores that offer big discounts several times a year.
Adding a feature wall to your living room is a simple way to add a focal point, you can create this Pottery Barn Inspired Mirror. The original Pottery Barn mirror costs $299 in the store, and this DIY home improvement project is a simple project for beginners.
The Kitchen
The kitchen is one of the most expensive home renovations. If you have a small kitchen, the best way to improve the space is with good organization. This is an easy project that doesn’t have to be expensive and can have a huge impact on the function of your kitchen. Check out my beginning-level kitchen container storage and organization post. There are a lot of countertop options today and even some great counter makeover kits that cost a lot less than a new counter. This is a simple home improvement idea that can have a huge impact.
When it comes to kitchen cabinets there are tons of ways to update them. Paint, a light sanding with a new color stain, to just cleaning your cabinets can give you a new look on a budget.
By changing up your backsplash, you can swap the old-fashioned beige tiles complete with fruit transfer prints for stainless steel or monotone tiles. This style of backsplash can give a more industrial feel to your room.
A quick way to give your wood floors new life is by using a product like Rejuvenate Wood Floor Restorer. This costs a lot less than refinishing or replacing your floors.
If you are watching your bank balance and you are keen to spend well within your means, you don’t have to put off your home improvements forever. Instead, try some of these ideas and you could enjoy a more modern and exciting environment to call your home.
