The new year is here, and for many of us that means we are setting goals for ourselves…things we want to do and achieve in 2024. If you are a homeowner, you may want to add some home improvements to your list.
Here are some small home improvements you may want to consider in 2024:
UPDATE YOUR KITCHEN
We are talking a simple update, not some huge undertaking. You might be surprised at how different your kitchen will look with just a small change. Something like painting your cabinets or adding a new backsplash can really brighten up the room and give it a modern feel. 7 Ways to Update Your Kitchen on a Budget
BEAUTIFY YOUR WALKWAY WITH BRICKS OR PAVERS
Plain concrete is boring…and not very pretty. But you don’t have to replace it. You can simply embellish it by adding stone, clay, or concrete pavers along the sides.
DO A MINOR BATHROOM REMODEL
It may sound like a big job, but something as simple as replacing the bathroom mirror and faucet can give your bathroom a whole new look. Want to take it further? Consider replacing the toilet if yours is old, and perhaps switch out the shower head for a more luxurious shower experience.
UPGRADE YOUR FLOORING
Do you have old, worn carpet in your home? Now is the time to remove it and replace it with hardwood flooring, or maybe a durable laminate that looks just like hardwood. You can save quite a bit of money by installing it yourself. How to Install Hardwood Floors
UPDATE A ROOM (OR TWO, OR MORE) WITH A FRESH COAT OF PAINT
It is amazing how different a room can feel if you paint it a new color! After you paint you can rearrange the room to your liking and add accent pieces (like throws and pillows) to complement the new wall color. Colors of the Year for 2024
REPLACE LIGHT FIXTURES
Sometimes all it takes to make a room look fresh and new are some updated, unique light fixtures. Do you still have the fixtures that were installed when the house was built? Do they suit your taste? Has your style changed? Maybe it’s time for out with the old and in with the new! Lighting Trends for 2024
Just remember, small home improvements can make a big difference in your home without breaking the bank!
