A Fresh Coat of Paint
Giving your walls a fresh coat of paint is one of the most effective and cost efficient ways to update and transform your home. You can change the feel of a room from bright and cheery to bold and dramatic by simply changing the color of the walls.
If you plan to paint your walls yourself, preparation is key. Gathering the right tools and covering any surfaces that might get paint on them is essential before starting. It’s also crucial to properly prime your walls before you paint them. Cleaning and priming your walls before painting will ensure that the paint goes on evenly and smoothly, and that your paint job will last for years to come.
Create a Gallery Wall
A gallery wall makes for a wonderful focal point for any room. It’s a great way to display your favorite family photos or artwork and to add a touch of personality to your home. It’s also an incredibly easy project to DIY. All you need is a hammer, frame hooks, and the pieces you want to hang up.
Before you start hammering at your wall, take time to plan out the placing and spacing of your pieces first. Lay them all out on the floor and move them around and rearrange them until they form a visually appealing design that makes sense to you.
Refurbish an Old Dresser
Yet another easy and cheap DIY that anyone can do, and that can help transform almost any room in your home. You can buy inexpensive old dressers at garage sales, flea markets or thrift shops, then transform them with a fresh coat of paint and/or replacing the hardware. You can sand them down for a lovely raw and rustic look, or paint them in a glossy dark shade for a decidedly modern and sophisticated look. You can add sleek, shiny new handles or drawer pulls, or go shabby chic and bohemian with mismatched ceramic knobs. The possibilities are endless, and you can get really creative with this project.
These are just some of the many DIY projects you can do to update your home or change its look. Remember to do your research and make lots of preparation before jumping into any DIY project; this will save you time and money, and keep you from making mistakes you’ll later
