7 Easy DIY Home Improvements Projects to add value to your home

Whilst the lockdown continues there is no time like the present to make simple low cost renovations which can add value and make your home a more pleasant place to live.

It can be an overwhelming task to start home improvements when life is busy, so this is a great opportunity to tackle those projects you have been putting off.

De-clutter

De-cluttering your home is a simple way to create the feel of more space and clean lines and the top comments made by potential home buyers viewing properties are around ‘open space’. De-cluttering can refresh your home and make it feel like a new place and also believe it or not reduce the level of stress in your home, as clutter can create anxiety and stress levels to increase, ‘a place for everything and everything in its place’.

Paint your front door

The front door is the first thing people notice, and rejuvenating your door by painting it a bright colour, like Red, which in many cultures is believed to be good luck, can make your home stand out and give a great first impression if you decide to put your home on the market.

Update Hardware

Is your home riddled with odd and outdated doorknobs and drawer pulls? Replacing them with a new and consistent design can be a low cost way of instantly creating a clean harmonious look throughout your home and give your kitchen and bathroom a whole new look

Refresh walls with a new coat of paint

Painting interior walls should actually be top of the list of easy home improvements, but most people find it a daunting task. The reality is there are many tutorials and easy tips online on to help and you don’t need to be a professional to refresh your home and give washed out walls a burst of light.

Clean, sand, and paint your fence

Early spring when the weather is better is the perfect time to give your fence some love and attention so it is ready for those summer days and nights. Spending the time to wash, sand and repaint your fence can change the entire look of your property and make you home stand out from your neighbours.

Put up a new kitchen backsplash

Something as simple and low costs as replacing or covering an outdated kitchen backsplash with a modern new design that runs the length of your countertops can instantly give an older kitchen a newer look without having to do a costly kitchen renovation.

Accessorise

Updating key accents in your home can make it few like a new home and instantly increase the appeal to potential buyers for a low cost. Replace that old shower curtain with one with block colours, cover an old sofa with attractive throws and pillows and adding plants to any room can add instant style and colour to any space.
