When it comes to making improvements to your home, winter can slow your progress. As cold, snowy weather rolls in, you may have to put some projects off until the temperature is more pleasant. If you’re feeling motivated to update your living spaces, there are a few indoor home improvement projects you can tackle when it’s chilly outside.
Where to Begin With Indoor Home Improvements
Before starting any projects, take a look around your home to assess areas that need a little attention. Laundry rooms are often neglected and can use an update. Maybe you feel ready to finally refinish your kitchen cabinets. Take a minute to consider what your home needs and what your budget can handle. Let’s look at three projects you can DIY.
Install New Cabinet Hardware
An easy home improvement project is changing the hardware on your kitchen cabinets. New drawer pulls and cabinet handles will complement your style and update the look of the room. This is an inexpensive and quick project. Measure your current hardware to know what size to purchase. Shop online or at a local home improvement store to find knobs and handles that match the kitchen. You’ll only need a screwdriver and a bit of free time to install the new pieces.
Update a Bathroom
You don’t have to tear out the bathtub and re-tile the entire room to make a difference in your bathroom. When working on the interior of your home, the bathroom is a great space to tackle. Easily change the look of the room with new towel bars, cabinet handles, and a new faucet. Install a waterfall showerhead for an easy upgrade to a luxury shower experience. If you enjoy music, there are a variety of waterproof speakers you can add to your bathroom. To add color, use boldly colored bathroom rugs, towels, and accessories.
Indoor Home Improvement: Repaint Walls
Give your walls a fresh coat of paint during the winter to spruce up your living spaces. Brighten a color that is already on the wall or change the color scheme entirely. Paint an entire room or simply create an accent wall. Purchase quality paints, brushes, and rollers for the best results. A coat of primer is a great idea before you paint. It covers the old paint, will help disguise blemishes, and allows the new color to adhere better.
