5 Affordable Home Remodeling Ideas

CHICAGO - July 9, 2014 - PRLog -- In this economy, it can be challenging to finance all of the home remodeling projects that we would like to.  However, there are 5 affordable home remodeling ideas that you may want to incorporate when you decide to remodel your home that will freshen up your home without breaking the bank.  Taking on several smaller projects can still give you the satisfaction of updating your home and you may be able to enhance more areas of your home with these affordable ideas.

Many homeowners want to update their kitchen since the kitchen is usually the focal point of a home.  There are so many areas in a kitchen that people usually want to update, but if you are looking for a smaller cost effective kitchen project, changing the cabinets are an excellent option.  One option would be to have your current cabinets removed and install completely new cabinets.  Another affordable option would be to remove your current cabinets, get them professionally painted and then reinstalled.  Switching out the hardware during this process can also completely change your kitchen’s appearance.  It will truly amaze you at how different your kitchen can look simply by changing out your cabinets/ and or hardware.

Another cost effective kitchen remodeling idea is to give your kitchen a makeover without doing a complete renovation.  If you go with more surface updates in your kitchen, you can save an incredible amount of money while still giving your kitchen a new look.  You might decide to keep your original stove, but add in a backsplash.  You may keep the counters you have, but install a new beautiful sink.  You may also want to change out the lighting in your kitchen or have lighting installed in the cabinets.  Surface updates are extremely affordable while still enhancing your kitchen’s appearance.

Changing the front entrance of your home is another affordable home project that can dramatically enhance your home’s curb appeal.  Replacing your front door can help your home to make a statement and you may also want to consider repainting the exterior trim or your home, having a new address put on your home or you may want to replace your mailbox.  These few simple home projects can really freshen up the front of your home.

A fourth idea is to repaint the walls in your home or change out your wallpaper.  A fresh coat of paint can do wonders for making your home look newer and cleaner.  Paint can fade and become so washed out over time and you can brighten up your home simply by painting it a new color.  Another painting option is to paint your ceiling a new and fresh color.  You can choose to stick with a traditional white/cream color or you can be bold and choose a bright/dark color for your ceiling to add character to the room.

The last affordable home remodeling project is to update your flooring.  It does not take long for carpet to become worn or hardwood floors to become scuffed.  Flooring is not usually a top priority for homeowners, but if you choose to update it, you will be surprised at how much it improves your home’s appearance.  Replacing the old worn carpet or refinishing your wood floors can give your home it’s much needed makeover without having to change everything else in your home.
