If you have been thinking about doing some home project to update the look of your home but worried about hurting your budget, worry no more!
"Updating your home can be a huge undertaking and cost a lot of money, but it doesn't have to be! For under $100, simple updates like a coat of paint, cabinet hardware, or even a new rug can make a big impact without a big budget," said Popsugar.
You can actually give your home a facelift without getting fine lines on your forehead from stressing over the cost. Here are 7 home updates you can do under $100 according to Realty Times:
New hardware
Do you know the easiest and most budget-friendly way to heighten the look of your kitchen; getting new hardware for your kitchen pulls and cabinets! The amazing thing about this project is that you can actually do it as a weekend DIY. All you need to do is go to the nearest Home Depot and choose from plenty of different hardware designs that will blend with your kitchen's theme. Taking the old ones and installing the new hardware is not that complicated so you sure can nail that job!
Remove the molding from the top of your kitchen cabinets
Who says a modern kitchen costs a fortune? By removing the ornate crown moldings on your cabinets, you end up with cleaner lines for that minimalist aesthetic that is a common look in modern design. All you need to spend on is a can of paint to deal with stains or to do some touch-ups.
A warm welcome
First impressions last; and when your guests are greeted by a quirky and nice doormat, you instantly send them to a good mood.
An easy kitchen update
Today's kitchens almost have one thing in common: open shelving! But wait, this doesn't mean that you need to remove your cabinets to get new open ones. Save money by using your old cabinets but upgrading their look by removing the doors and painting the interiors.
A new rug
Ugly flooring? Now that's a major problem, and a major threat to your pocket! If you can't stand another day walking through your worn out floor, you don't have to, but you also don't need to break the bank. With a really nice and pricey (but way more affordable than a floor renovation) rug, you can instantly cover up the scratches and stains on your old floor so you can get excited putting your feet against it again.
Clean your windows
Lighting does wonder to a home. But how can natural light get through if your windows are covered with grime? That's a big problem with really simple solutions: a bottle of Windex and paper towels. Spend an entire morning making your windows clear and shiny and instantly improve your view.
Change your lighting
Lighting is almost a focal point to every room, so make sure that what you have is something worth looking at. Replace your blah overhead lights and outdated ceiling fan lights with a stylish lighting and you will instantly see the difference it will make to your space. You can choose from chandeliers, pendant light, and modern rustic ceiling fans... there are plenty of designs you can choose from to fit the look you are going for.
