1. Paint a Room
One of the best ways to transform your room is by painting it. Throw a fresh coat of paint on and boom, brand new room! Make sure to grab a color that compliments your decorations and furniture. Also, make sure to not forget your brushes, paint rollers, painters tape or any other supplies you might need. Laying down a drop cloth is a must for a clean room. This would make a great weekend project that will really add change to a room.
2. Install a New Backsplash
A backsplash can really spruce up the place. You can add this to your kitchen or bathroom, and now it has personality. This doesn't have to be a difficult task. You can grab some peel-and-stick to get the job done. Stover's also has this if you are looking for some cheap options. If you are more professional, grab some mosaics to get the job done. This is a task that will add personality, that any skill level can achieve.
3. Update Cabinet Hardware
This one is a cheap and easy option. All you will need is a screwdriver and some hands! Switching out your old cabinet knobs is a great way to revive your old bathroom or kitchen. You can add these to make something more contemporary without breaking the bank. This is a great way to make a room look great without a complete remodel.
4. Create a Gallery Wall
This is one of my favorites, a gallery wall. You can hang photos and/or art on this wall. You can make a specific theme for this wall, or just mix and match all your photos/art together. This makes your space more personal, and you can switch it up anytime that you want.
5. Build a Custom Shelf
Now this one requires a little more skill than the last projects. You will need some basic tools, wood and brackets. Whether you need some spare storage, or a place to put your décor, this is a great project. If you really want to get fancy with it, you can stain or paint the shelf to match your room.
6. Replace Light Fixtures
Changing your light fixtures in your home can significantly transform your space. From chandeliers, to pendant lights or any other type of style, there are countless to choose from. Make sure to cut the power before trying this project. If you are unsure, you might have to hire a professional or call your dad.
7. Install Wall Hooks for Extra Storage
This is a super easy project but effective. Wall hooks can add more space to any room of the house. You can use them in the bathroom for towels, entry ways for bags or coats, or in the kitchen for utensils. You will be able to choose from many finishes and styles to best fit your space.
8. Update Bathroom Fixtures
By updating the fixtures in you bathroom can really change the space. This can be towel bars, shower heads or faucets. These are all fairly simple ways to make your space more personalized. You wont need any fancy tools or a lot of time on your hands. This can be done in a weekend with basic tools.
9. Create a Chalkboard Wall
This is another example of a simple project. A chalkboard wall in an easy way to add to your room. This can be in a kids room so they can be creative and draw anytime they want. Or you can use this in your kitchen to write down food items you might need at the store. This is as easy as painting it on the wall and letting it dry. Give it a try!
