Easy Home Facelift Ideas
Want to give your home a facelift without spending a fortune? There are several easy options. You can get a big bang for your decorating buck with the following simple projects.
Repaint the wallsYou can dramatically change the look of your home for very little money by giving it a fresh coat of paint. Painting a room a different color can give it a completely new look. There are a myriad of color choices to choose.
Add decorative trim
Another simple home makeover is to add decorative trim. By adding a chair railing or crown molding, along with color-coordinated paint and wallpaper, you can change a room from drab to dramatic. This project can be made even easier by using pre-finished trim.
Replace hardware and/or cabinetry
Two makeovers that are likely to pay off at resale time are redoing your kitchen and bathroom. This doesn’t mean you have to hire someone to gut the entire rooms. There are some relatively

easy projects that can make a huge difference. The simplest one can be to just change the hardware on the cabinetry or replace the faucets. You may also want to consider replacing any stained or out-of-date sinks, and painting, staining, or replacing your cabinetry. Savvy homeowners focus their remodeling efforts on the kitchen and the master bathroom because those two rooms typically contain the most built-in components that can be upgraded and, consequently, are most likely to capture the highest return on their investment.
Backyard deck
Homeowners want outdoor living space, not just an expanse of grass or a few flowers. Putting in a large, well-planned deck is a project with good payback, adding an average of 90 percent of its cost to your home’s resale value.
