Updating your home doesn’t always require a major renovation project. There are plenty of simple and cost-effective ways to give your home a fresh new look without breaking the bank.
Whether you’re looking to renovate your current home on your own or simply want to add personality to your space, here are some ideas to help you update your home without major renovations.
1. Jazz Up Wall Colour
One of the easiest ways to update your home is by adding a fresh coat of paint. Paint comes in a variety of colors and finishes, such as matte, satin, and gloss, allowing for customization of the appearance of a surface. Note the correct steps to take if you’re looking to paint it yourself, starting from cleaning the wall to priming and applying a second coat of paint.
Consider painting an accent wall (just like the one below), adding a colorful statement piece, or painting your cabinets for a quick update.

3. Upgrade Your Hardware
Switching out old hardware for new, modern ones can instantly update your kitchen or bathroom. Replace cabinet knobs, drawer pulls, and even faucets for a fresh new look. This is a simple and cost-effective way to update your home without major renovations.
