We all know the beauty of personal taste and how it differs from person to person; it’s what ensures that your neighbours and friends live in houses with completely different styles than yours. But in addition to those personal touches, we all want our homes to look stylish and up-to-date, which requires a bit of maintenance every now and again.

But if your current budget is nowhere near kitchen-overhaul ready, don’t stress – today we come bearing low-cost tips and tricks that will instantly transform how you (and others) see your house. A few of our ideas will require some professional assistance, or the opportunity to test out your DIY skills. 

So, without further ado, let’s see how you can add some quick and easy spice and style to your home design!

1. Staining or painting over that old oak banister, cabinet, or moulding is a quick way to add some contemporary style to your home

2. Add a framed mirror to a flat-panel door for instant style

3. Paint those ceiling fans and switch out those glass bulb covers for an immediate “wow” effect

5. Framing your windows is one of the most effective ways to boost your home’s look. Even just adding a single piece of moulding to the top instantly transforms it

4. Painting a dark or jovial colour on the inside of your entry door can really separate it from the rest of your interiors

6. You'll be surprised at how a pop of colour can take your ceiling to new heights!

7. Add trim to your existing bathroom mirror, or add some shelving right in the middle to separate two sinks / add some storage space

8. Boost your lighting by replacing those worn-out coverings and lampshades with strikingly new ones

9. Add moulding to outdated cabinetry doors to make them look brand new

10. Give the illusion of a larger window by hanging those drapes higher and wider

11. Ditch the paint and make a focal wall with some timber panels or other timeless material. Recycled wood costs next to nothing!

12. Chalkboard paint adds functionality, charm, and a “wow” look to any room of the house. Use it on a single cabinet door, or an entire wall – your choice!

13. There are so many ways to give your fireplace a facelift – painting the brick, adding a mantelpiece, framing it with some moulding, etc.

14. Glass shelves add extra storage while still keeping the area looking open and airy

15. Adding some stone or tile to the area in-between your shower and ceiling will make the entire space seem more upscale and elegant
