Home Improvement Heroes: Fast And Easy Projects To Spruce Up Your Home

Have things gotten a little boring around your house and outdoor space? Do you wish you could remodel but do not have the time or money? Fortunately, there are plenty of little projects you can do around the house that will have a big impact on your home's appearance.

Paint or replace the front door

Giving your front door a new look is one project that is sure to make your home get noticed in the neighborhood. Whether you choose to install a new door or paint an existing one, the front door should make a great impression on visitors to your home. If your current door is neutral, try choosing a bold color, such as red or yellow, to make your door stand out.  

Add a backsplash to the kitchen

There is nothing like a new backsplash to dress up a boring or outdated kitchen. Create a backsplash in a fun design or bright color to make your kitchen cheerful and inviting. Use mirrored tiles for a classy or sophisticated look.

Create a gallery wall

Armed with some great picture frames and your favorite photos or art, you can create a gallery wall in a hallway, living room, or family room. Begin by laying the foundation for your photos or art by adding wallpaper or painting the wall in a contrasting color from the rest of the room. Choose frames in multiple shapes and sizes to create great eye appeal and watch your own personal gallery wall come to life.

Design a window garden

There is nothing like plants to bring life to any room of the home. Design a window garden by installing shelves across a window that receives plenty of natural light. Purchase a variety of colorful pots to fill with plants, flowers, or herbs to complete your miniature garden.  

Freshen up your foyer

Make a great first impression on all who enter your home by freshening up your foyer. Give the walls a fresh coat of paint, add a deacon's bench or new coat rack to your entryway. A new indoor/outdoor rug will make a powerful impact and is a great finishing touch to your foyer.

You do not have to spend a lot of money or invest a lot of time to spruce up your home and outdoor space. Simple home improvement projects are the key and can often be completed in a weekend or less. Decide on a project, grab a few supplies from your local home improvement store, and you will have all you need to get started.
