1. Add carriage-style magnets to your garage door to give it some undeniable charm that demands veeery little work on your part.
2. Apply a decorative faux-wood paneling in any room that could use a refresh. These resin panels *look* realistically like wood and are super affordable so you can master a mini reno on a budget.
3. Ditch the drab recessed lighting for some cute pendant lights by using a handy conversion kit. The installation is fairly simple and straightforward, and now I know what you'll be doing next weekend!
4. And since you're now in the market for pendant lights, hang these vintage-style glass lights with some Edison bulbs for a sophisticated look that won't require a pricey renovation.
5. Swap any fingerprint-stained light switches and outlet plates for new vintage-style covers. Hello, operator — this is the kind of minimal effort I am looking for.
6. Give your worn out exterior door a makeover with a fresh coat of paint. It's a water-based paint designed to prevent fading, so whatever color you pick will stay vibrant and beautiful — just like the day you painted.
7. And! Hang a set of funky address numbers to your door or house siding because the outside of your home deserves some pizzazz, too.
8. Make your bedroom a feel like five-star hotel by building your own ceiling canopy. All you need are drapery rods, brackets, and a few tools and you can get this dreamy vibe — no need to go out and buy an expensive canopy bed!
9. Add frosted films to windows and other glass surfaces so you can enjoy some dang privacy without having to rely on heavy curtains. It also looks fabulous on display cabinets!
10. Use a sweet lil' stencil and some paint to charm up any boring furniture you've been thinking of getting rid of...'til now!
11. Or! Try your hand at a stencil tile backsplash. It definitely requires a little patience and practice, but the payoff is worth it (and your wallet will be soooo happy).
12. Exchange that dated bathroom sink faucet for a modern, waterfall one. It's a small job that'll make a big, big difference.
13. Plop your sweet plant child in a trendy seagrass basket. There's no need to repot and spill soil everywhere to upgrade your plant's home.
14. Or if you want to go a little of the box, use them to make some freakin' cool, conversation-starter pendant lights.
15. Trade in any heavy-linen curtains for a sheer option because it'll heighten the room while also brightening up the space. Just peep this living room! *Swoons.*
16. Upcycle and add height to old furniture by changing out the legs for hairpin legs. I seriously can't stop staring at this before and after:
17. If you're tired of staring at an egg-shell white wall, paint an eye-catching ombré effect with just a few materials.
18. And if paint isn't really your ~thing~, try a self-adhesive fabric to get that same ombré look.
19. Get a roll of marble contact paper and go to town. Really — you can use this to transform countertops, furniture, picture frames, and the list goes on (and on...).
20. Try peel-and-stick tile as a great kitchen backsplash dupe that'll look like you dropped a good chunk of cash and time for the real thing.
21. Breathe some life back into dated furniture with a couple coats of chalk paint. Chalk paint adheres well to furniture, so it only requires a bit of prep work on your end.
22. Create a new bed and couch aesthetic by changing up the look of your pillows with these elegant, checkered pillow covers. It's such a little thing, but it makes all the difference!
23. Get the stainless steel appliances you've always wanted (but never wanted to spend an entire paycheck on) courtesy of this liquid stainless steel kit. I mean, hello, these results!!!
24. Upgrade that crumbling ceiling medallion with an ornate option that won't break the bank. I'm not kidding, this comes with a $10 price tag, and my eyes feel so fooled!
25. Apply copper tape around pictures frames or in an abstract design to give your gallery wall a simple but sweet update.
26. Swap any bulky furniture legs for something more modern and sleek. Your Ikea furniture is about to like it ~walked~ straight out of a West Elm catalog.
27. Spend 10 minutes top replacing your worn-out duvet cover for a trendy geometric option. We love minimal effort and big results!
28. Give dull wood surfaces some vibrancy back by going over them with a miracle polish. It'll add a layer of protection while restoring its luster.
29. And you can do the same thing for any kitchen wood surface with a food-grade mineral oil. Think: butcher blocks, cutting boards, and all your wood bowls and utensils.
30. Spray paint anything around your house — and I mean anything — that is still functional but needs a little TLC. This chair could've been a goner, but with some paint and upholstery it looks brand new!
31. And lastly, ditch the '90s cabinet hardware and opt for some super sleek pulls. You'll have this done with so much time to spare, you may end up starting another home project.
With all of these fab upgrades, you won't want to leave your house!
