Home improvements and renovations can be expensive, but if you’re in the mood for some DIY, it doesn’t have to be. Check out these seven easy and affordable ways to give your space a facelift. The best part? Each project costs $50 or less!
1. Paint the front door
The front door is usually the first thing that greets friends, family, and neighbors entering your home. So why not make a GREAT first impression with a bright and welcoming fresh coat of paint? Not only do the colored doors act as an aesthetically appealing focal point, but they also make the neutral exteriors of a house pop. And, a boldly-painted door can also be a cute photo background for your next family portrait!
2. Try peel-and-stick wallpaper
Why not go BOLD without the risk? Peel-and-stick wallpaper is a temporary way to add a burst of vibrant color or pattern to your space. Moreover, you can keep this project affordable by papering a focal wall or small space like a bedroom or walk-in closet. If you get bored or change your mind, simply remove the wallpaper and try another look for cheap.

3. Update the kitchen cabinet hardware
When it comes to quick and easy updates that make a massive difference in the look and feel of your kitchen, consider small changes by updating the hardware. It might seem like a very little thing, but given how many times you might open and close drawers and cabinets on a daily basis, switching out knobs and handles is well worth your time!
4. Break up the space with open shelving
An easy and cost-effective way of refurbishing your kitchen is by breaking up the space, nixing the closed shelves, and replacing them with open shelf units. Whether it is a way to visibly organize your pantry, create a coffee corner, or display your curated cutlery, you can design the open shelving to fit your aesthetic and needs.
5. Refurbish the bathroom
An affordable way to bring life to your existing drawers and cabinets is by stripping out the old hardware and replacing it with affordable, new trendy hardware. With the majority of space being occupied by mirrors, tiles, showers, bathtubs, and sinks, a do-it-yourself paint job can be done in one afternoon. A great way of updating existing fixtures is by coating them with spray paint. Another trick is to install peel-and-stick vinyl floor tiles.
6. Set the mood with string lights
Want to set the perfect ambiance for watching a movie or set the mood for daily dinners? How about making your patio a cozy gathering spot? Hang up some string lights and give your space a brand new vibe.
7. Transform your backyard
Don’t want to spend a bundle to renovate your backyard or patio? Here are some economical, attainable, and DIY-friendly tips. Instead of buying a whole new patio set, spruce up your existing furniture with some colorful, cozy blankets, accent pillows, and cushions. Next, take advantage of flowers and plants, which will literally bring your backyard to life! You can find lots of great deals in the Home & Garden section on Flipp.
