Making Your Home Look Fresh and New

Are you looking to spruce up your home without having to be a handy person? Don't worry, there are plenty of easy home improvement ideas that anyone can do. From accent walls to window treatments, here are some simple ways to give your space a fresh look.

Paint an Accent Wall

Painting an accent wall is one of the quickest and most dramatic ways to update any room. Start by selecting a bold color that will contrast with the other walls in the room. Then gather all your supplies: paint, painter's tape, drop cloths, and a paint roller. Tape off any areas you don't want painted and lay down drop cloths on the floor. Use the roller to apply even strokes of paint on the wall. Let it dry overnight before removing the tape.

Change Out Window Treatments

Replacing window treatments is another easy way to give your space an instant makeover. Measure each window so you know what size curtains or blinds you need. Decide on what style you want—sheer or blackout? Once you have everything picked out, install them according to directions.

Add Mirror Accents

Mirrors are great for adding light and depth into any room. If you're looking for something quick and easy, adding mirror accents is perfect for giving your space a new look without doing major construction work. You can find mirrors in all shapes and sizes at home improvement stores or online retailers. Hang them above furniture pieces like dressers or side tables for an elegant touch.

Install Floating Shelves

Floating shelves are great for storage as well as style in any room! First locate studs in the wall using a stud finder then mark where they are with a pencil before attaching mounting brackets with a drill for shelves to slide onto later on. Secure them with screws once they're in place.

Replace Hardware

Changing out hardware is another simple way of updating any room without doing major construction work. Pick out new hardware that matches your style—classic or modern? Once chosen, remove old hardware from cabinets and drawers using a screwdriver, then install new hardware according to instructions.

Hang Artwork

Hanging artwork adds personality and style into any room! Find art prints online or at stores like Target or HomeGoods, measure where it will go on the wall, mark it with pencil before hanging it up with nails or picture hangers.
