Home Improvement Projects You Can Do This Winter

This winter, we’ll be avoiding more than just the cold weather. Don’t let cabin fever get the best of you! Take advantage of the extra time indoors and knock a couple of home improvement projects off your list. The best part is you don’t have to have to perform any major renovations to make a significant impact on your home’s appearance. Here are four home improvement projects you can do this winter.

Paint Your Walls

Has staring at the same four walls every day made you notice dings, chips, or a color that no longer suits you? Give your walls a refresh with a new coat of paint. You’ll be amazed at what a simple painting project can do to transform your home. Whether you want to add a bright pop of color to your neutral living space or use darker shades to add an element of coziness, your options are truly endless. When painting, make sure your windows are open. This allows for proper ventilation, and your paint will dry more efficiently.

Add Crown Molding

Crown molding is like the finishing touch to any home improvement project. Not only does it look beautiful, but it adds an extra layer of design to the room too. It gives your home a custom look that buyers will love should you ever choose to sell the house. You can place crown molding on the top of walls, door frames, or along the top of your cabinets in the kitchen. Bonus? It’ll cover any painting mistakes you may have made in the past.

Renew Your Floors

When was the last time you did anything with your floors? If it’s been a while, it might be time for a refresh. If you have hardwood floors but are craving more warmth, consider getting carpet installed or laying down an area rug that complements the walls. Or maybe you want to rip up your carpets and go the laminate or hardwood route instead. During any floor restoration or installation, keep the windows open to release toxic fumes.

Change Out Your Cabinet Hardware

If you are looking for a simple task that requires little skill, consider changing the hardware on your cabinets. All you need is a screwdriver and an hour of your time, and your room will look fresh and modern. Sometimes it’s the little things that make all the difference.
