1. Paint. Everything. Try new colours on the walls, cabinets, doors and even trim and floors for a quick and inexpensive transformation.
2. Lighting. A new light fixture, or new task or under-cabinet lighting, can improve both the function and the look of the space.
3. Hardware. Dated kitchen cupboards can get an instant update with a clean, modern pull. Ditto for kitchen and bathroom faucets, doorknobs, hinges and other accessories.
4. Area rugs. Not only can they help define open concept spaces, but they’re also great for changing up the look of a room and covering up any ugly flooring.
5. Decals. A nice graphic or whimsical decal is a simple way to add personality to your walls, without having to commit to anything in the long-term.
6. Artwork. Whether you’re buying it at a gallery, picking up inexpensive finds on services like Etsy, or making your own from postcards, photos and fabric, hanging things you love on the wall is a great way to put your own spin on a space (and help camouflage unsightly walls).
7. Change it up. Don’t feel constrained by the previous owner’s layouts — you can flip the living and dining rooms, or turn that second bedroom into an office.
8. Clean. Sure, this isn’t much fun, but even if you hate the previous owner’s taste in crown moulding, you may learn to tolerate it until you can afford to swap it out by restoring it to a gleaming white.
9. Install new switch plate and outlet covers. You’ll be surprised how much cleaner it looks.
10. Don’t forget outside. New numbers, a new mailbox and a fresh coat of paint for your front door can make your entryway more appealing, and more you.
