It’s so exciting to decorate our homes for the holidays. Planning, shopping, and cooking for holiday parties and family gatherings is on the top of everyone’s list. However, the stains on walls in the kitchen and the old paint job aren’t doing much for your holiday cheer. Maybe it’s time to do a little sprucing up with some home improvement projects.
You may not have the time or the money to do a complete renovation, but there are some easier things you can do to get your home holiday ready.
-
Replace old fixtures and drawer pulls
New pulls on your kitchen cabinets and drawers can be your inspiration for a new look. A new light fixture can literally bring new light to your home. These simple updates are generally easy to do on your own.
-
Paint
Paint is an easy and inexpensive fix for outdated styles and colors. New paint can cover scuffs in old walls, and professional home painters can help make sure you get the color and the coverage you need.
-
Add backsplashes
If the walls behind your kitchen sink and stove or bathroom sink are showing their age, consider adding a backsplash to coordinate with a new paint color for a clean and fresh vibe.
-
Replace or refinish woodwork
Replace any broken or cracked trim molding or try adding wainscoting, a chair rail, or crown molding to freshen up any room.
-
Add a kitchen island
If you are low on counter space, consider adding an island or a custom-built buffet to create an inviting display for your culinary creations.
-
Revive your floors
Refinish an old wood floor or add a new flooring treatment to update your space.
If you are short on time or being handy isn’t your thing, you can hire skilled professional house painters and local carpenters from JS Profinish to get your house in shape for the holidays or any time of year. Your home is one of the biggest investments you’ll make in your lifetime. What you do to improve and upgrade it will always add value and make your home a more enjoyable place.
