Thanks to TV, home remodeling remains an enjoyable pursuit for many homeowners. These shows cause you to think, “If they can do it, why can’t I?” After all, the entire process only takes 30 minutes, right? While this is obviously not true, most home remodeling projects require a trusted professional. However, there are a few safe and easy tasks you can try, if you’re willing. Keep reading to learn how you can save a bit of money by taking on these 3 unique projects.
Install a New Kitchen Backsplash
If you’re tired of the older backsplash in your kitchen, trade it out for something new and fresh. If the plan is to remodel this space anyway, choose a pattern, texture, or color that will create a cohesive look when paired with your floors, countertops, or cabinets.
Just make sure you choose the right one to match the size of your overall space (your kitchen). More basic tiles can make a small area look larger, for example.
Update Your Cabinets
What you plan to do with your cabinets will determine how long the project will take. No matter if you want to paint or stain them, you’ll need to make sure they are properly sanded and prepped beforehand.
You’ll then need to decide if you want to use a roll-and-brush or spray technique when painting. If you prefer to stain them to showcase the beautiful wood, using a polyurethane finish will help ensure they remain more durable over time.
This simple DIY update to your cabinets can make a big difference in your kitchen or bathroom, even if you do nothing else to the space.
Replace Your Showerhead
This might seem like an overly simple project, but if your bathroom needs a bit of an upgrade, there’s no reason why you can’t handle this task yourself.
Consider making your shower more like a spa by replacing the manufacturer’s basic design with one that offers greater versatility. Your local home improvement store will have many to choose from, so take your time picking out the one you really want.
In addition, you can install towel bars to enhance the aesthetic, or grab bars if you or a loved one needs additional assistance in this space.
When it comes to the big projects – wiring, plumbing, flooring, etc. – let the professionals take care of the job. Otherwise, don’t be afraid to get your hands a little dirty by putting your mark on your updated home.
