Now that we’ve all been spending a lot more time in our homes than we normally do, we’ve all started to see the small things that we may want to change. While undertaking a full-scale home renovation project may not be in the cards for you right now, there are some smaller projects that you can do yourself.
Whether you’re still socially isolating, or you don’t have enough space in your vehicle, Trooper Moves is always standing by ready to help deliver your DIY home improvement products.
So let’s dig into some of the DIY projects that can make a big difference in your home.
Paint
If you want to make a huge impact on your home without a huge amount of cash, painting is your best bet. Painting is the perfect DIY—almost anyone can easily do it, you don’t need to spend an exorbitant amount of money, and it makes a massive difference to your space.
The visual impact of changing the colour of your walls from white to grey may seem nonexistent but that change is massive. And if you aren’t looking to change your wall colours, consider what else in your home you could revamp with a fresh coat of paint—cabinets, trim, shelves, fireplaces, even furniture are all great candidates.
Whether you just give it all a fresh coat of white paint, or you go big and bold with strong colours, paint is the hero of the low budget renovation.
Change out the focal point of a room
Whatever room you want to work on, swapping out the biggest piece of furniture can completely transform a room.
If you are updating your living room, consider looking for a new couch or area rug.
If you are updating your dining room, look at a new dining table set or hutch.
If you are updating your bedroom, think about swapping out some of the textiles in your room—duvet cover, window coverings, pillows—or adding a fun headboard to your bed.
Changing out the focal point of the room can give a room new life. And if you aren’t looking to change any major furniture focus on the textiles in any given room.
Give your backyard some love
Having a great space to relax and enjoy the warm weather is always a good investment! Whether your grass needs a little tender love and care or you’ve been dreaming of putting in a new deck, spending some time in the summer to work on your outdoor space is not something you’ll regret.
Update your fixtures or hardware
If you’ve been living with the same light fixtures for years, now’s a great time to change them up. You can bring a whole new design style into your home simply by swapping out your outdated chandelier for something more modern.
You can also update your home by switching out the hardware on your kitchen cabinets. Small changes like this can act as a facelift to your home—it adds a little bit of refinement and style to your space.
“Built-in” Bookshelves
Have you always dreamed of having a library in your home? With nothing more than an open wall and a few inexpensive bookcases, you can achieve the look of a built-in bookcase. We love this DIY tutorial using the IKEA Billy bookcase from Better Homes & Gardens.
With just four bookshelves, some high-quality wood, and a few days work you can build your own library wall. And because some furniture stores charge an arm and a leg for delivery, you can save on the cost of the project by having your bookcases delivered by Trooper Moves at a fraction of the cost.
Whatever project you want to take on to make your home more livable, more enjoyable, we can help. Next time you need help delivering your DIY essentials, head over to TrooperMoves.com and get your free estimate to see how much you can save by having a local Trooper pick up and deliver your order.
