Home improvements can and will be a daunting task if wrong turns are taken. There is always the expectation versus reality fear for every improvement. To add, renovations can take days to months to years or forever, depending on the renovations someone is working on. But, not everybody knows that there are simple renovations that can be done within a day.
Here is where Realtor's suggestions come in.
1. Lock and Keys
Before going big, let us start with the most simple but most essential part of the house, security. Investing on the house's doorknob and locks is not that expensive and time consuming. And what makes it better is that, practically, everyone can do it, all you need are the right tools and proper instructions. After 10 to 15 minutes, upgrade is done.
2. Lights On
Lights inside and outside the house is also an essential. It brings life and security to the property. But before thinking of buying expensive bulbs, why not look into LED lights. LED lights are brighter, have a longer life span, and very green. Old lights that are still working can also be cleaned if you are working on a budget.
3. Paint it Red or Blue or Green or Yellow
Painting is not for everyone, most especially if it's the entire house but everyone can paint the door. A little help from YouTube and you're all set. A new set of coat on your front door can freshen up everything. When picking the color, go with something that complement's the exterior of the house. However, be creative and don't be afraid to experiment.
4. I am a Fan and You Too
Installing a fan is easier than what you think. In fact, it is less daunting than cooking a meal. Experts also said that when choosing a fan; go with the sleek and simple because the cute ones go outdated quickly.
5. Dim the Lights
Light control dimmers are not as hard as it sounds or looks like. Aside from being affordable, it also controls the mood and ambiance of a room. Dimmers also work with the lights you already have.
