By jj Foster -

Over the last year and a half, you've probably spent a lot of time in your house, and it's starting to show. You want to make some modifications because certain fixtures and décor pieces are appearing shabby rather than trendy. The only difficulty is that you don't have the funds for a complete makeover.

Thankfully, you don't have to break the bank to make some pretty attractive home makeover projects. An obsolete or ugly area can frequently be transformed into something lovely with a little imagination. When you're done, you'll have a beautiful new room to enjoy as well as the satisfaction of knowing you did the work yourself.

Of course, finding a place, to begin with, can be difficult as a house makeover can be intimidating. It's critical to thoroughly plan the modifications you want to make so that you're happy with the result.

Room Makeover - the Inexpensive Way

If you're ready to get started, here are some design ideas. These inexpensive improvements will give your home a much-needed freshening up, from the kitchen to the bedroom.

#1. Painting the Kitchen Cabinets

According to HomeAdvisor, new cabinetry for a basic 10-by-10-foot kitchen costs between $2,000 and $24,000. The Home Depot sells one gallon of Behr Premium interior cabinet and trim paint for $39.98. Simply painting your current kitchen cabinets will save you a lot of money. Painting dark brown cabinets white or grey, for example, will brighten up the area and give it a more modern appearance. You might have a hard time believing it's the same kitchen when you're done.

#2. Swapping Out Vanity Drawer Pulls in the Bathroom

The bathroom vanity is a significant focal point in the space. It may easily make the entire space look grungy if it has seen better days. Installing a new one may be your first choice, but according to Home Advisor, it costs an average of $1,500. Don't worry; there's a simple solution to give your vanity a fresh makeover on a tight budget. Changing out the knobs on your vanity may make a huge difference. Lowe's, for example, sells modern square knobs for $2.98 that could readily replace a vintage type.

#3. Creating a Gallery Wall in the Living Room

Because you spend so much time in your living room, you want the contents of the walls to make you happy. Consider creating a gallery wall as a part of your residential makeover project if you're bored of staring at the same worthless artwork - or a blank wall. This assortment of framed artwork, photographs, and souvenirs will add a personal touch to your wall that will make you smile every time you see it.

Choose a topic first — for example, family, Paris, or abstract — and then find the items you'll frame. Target sells a collection of seven gallery frames for $35, keeping it affordable.
