It is always easy to ponder the what-ifs when it comes to home improvement. Sometimes we have a vision for our home, but never can get ourselves to pull the trigger. Or, we are willing to make changes to our home but we are unsure of the specific moves we should make out of fear that one will not pay off. If you are stuck as to which projects you should take up, here are a few to get you motivated.
Paint an Accent Wall
If you have a room that you feel lacks character or personality, choose one edge of the wall and paint it an accent color. This not only will help brighten up the wall, but also give you the room to take on an entirely new color scheme.
Hang Floating Shelves
Similar to the previous project, adding floating shelves to a wall is an efficient way to add personality to the room. Instead of simply using color, shelves give you the opportunity to place objects on the wall that you may find to be of interest. This can also create good conversation starters when people are visiting.
Upgrade Your Faucets
You may be wondering how big of a difference a faucet can make. After all, it is a more practical feature with its only job being to dispense water. Believe it or not, they can actually make a serious impact, especially if the faucet is located central to a room like a kitchen. If you pick the right faucet, this is an easy opportunity to completely change the dynamics of a room.
Add a Customizable Dimming System to Your Lights
The great thing about this project is it allows you to improvise your rooms as you go depending on the mood you want to set. The ability to change the lighting in a room to a variety of options will also give your home a sense of modernity that it may have previously lacked as well.
Add Life to Your Front Yard
Your front yard is the first thing people see about your home, so it is important that it is in good shape and also displays some personality in itself. The specifics of what you need to do may vary by the specifics of the home and the location, but a new tree or a new flower garden will typically change the entire dynamic of your yard.
