Four Simple DIY Tips To Spruce Up Your Home

From Your Friends At Acadiana Home Inspectors

After spending more time than normal in our houses this past year, a home décor refresh can be both tempting and daunting. Simple and quick DIY solutions — such as a quick paint swap or small appliance changes — can transform a space without a full renovation cost and time commitment.

Refresh a space with new paint

Replace cold, bright colors with warm greys, whites, and beiges that complement the surrounding space.

Textured paint finishes like metallic stripes, sandstone, mixed-shaped rectangles, or brushed suede can draw the eye to various focal points of a room for added flair. A fresh coat of paint on a trim or accent wall can transform a dated space into a new living area.

Accessorize with DIY materials 

Decorating a space does not have to be dependent on finding statement furniture to fill a room. Small accent pieces can work together for a cohesive look. An empty wall provides a blank canvas to tell a story and an opportunity to showcase one’s personality. Design a gallery wall that features personal photography or DIY art, hung in different frames and sizes to add dimension.

Or, install refurbished wood shelves to offer a heightened holding place for plants to flourish. Create a uniform look with matching pots, or mix it up with a combination of clay, baskets, and ceramics.

“Keith was very thorough in inspecting our new house. He also made sure that we understood our report and answered all of our further questions (even on the weekend!) Very happy with the entire experience and would definitely recommend it to others.” – Review of Acadiana Home Inspectors By Christina Estaves Schubert

Update fixtures 

The kitchen remains the heart of all homes and thus sustains the most wear and tear. Simple do-it-yourself upgrades ensure space can withstand time while adapting to various culinary needs. Like those within the Peerless® Precept® Kitchen Collection, they install new fixtures that can turn a humdrum area into a modern space filled with style and functionality.

Replace a rundown kitchen faucet with an affordable, on-trend Precept Commercial Kitchen Faucet by Peerless®. The updated design and pull-down sprayer offer beauty and efficiency, while POWERinse™ technology delivers an extra blast of cleaning power. This simple swap customizes the kitchen to work best for the needs of a home without sacrificing style.

Creating a spa at home 

Establishing a sanctuary in the home can be as easy as remodeling the bath space to feel like an at-home spa. Introducing the Peerless® Precept® Slide Bar with Hand Shower into an existing shower system provides homeowners with the ability to use a showerhead and hand shower simultaneously — proving that a luxurious shower experience is possible at an affordable cost.

Installing soft lightings, such as a dimmer switch or updated lighting fixtures, sets a spa-like ambiance. Accessories like a fluffy bath mat, your favorite candle, and luscious plant-like eucalyptus help to achieve a DIY, serene bath.

Giving new life to space doesn’t have to include costly renovations or large-time investments. A fresh coat of paint or the addition of trendy accessories can make the old feel new again. (BPT)
