Read on our top home redesigning ideas on various sections of the house.

Bedroom

For your headboard, you can use salvaged material such as old doors or wood fences, adding deco paging magazines or family photos to it. Your closet doors can be repainted and have dressing mirrors attached to them. For your side lamps, add a bright, cheap fireproof shade.

Bathroom

Upgrade the vanity and sinks with pre made and finished pieces from any home improvement store. Fresh paint on the bathroom walls is a way of bringing life to it. Later on, homeowners can look for colors to match with the new self-closing toilet seats, multi-level towel bars, carpet or rug, and shelves, among others. Move away from the overhead shower models to the hand shower heads. However, paint the room first then shop for accessories afterward.

Kitchen

If your kitchen is small, rollouts are the best upgrades to save space while tucking out of sight your kitchen accessories. As for the cabinets, refining and refacing the doors and adding a coat of paint is a less expensive way of getting the brand new cabinets. You can swing in new granite countertops, replacing your kitchen appliances with energy efficient Energy Star equipment that provide an excellent kitchen appearance while saving you monthly utility bills.

Living Room

Illuminate the living areas as much as you can, incorporating bright colored furniture, colorful fabric drapes while replacing the paint on the fan’s blade. If you love natural light, give the home an illusion of larger windows by hanging the curtains up high and wide. Frame your entertainment equipment, for example, the television and home theater, by mounting it on a good looking frame.
