Simple DIY Home Renovation Projects

Here are some DIY projects that you can do around your home that will help liven up its looks:

Take Out A Wall

Are your living room and dining rooms a little bit too small for your liking? Have you ever thought about removing the wall between them? This will give your home a more open and comfortable look that is not that hard to do. One thing you have to be careful of here if you are going to do this is not to remove any part of a wall that may be load nearing. Pay a contractor to do a quick inspection before you start taking out any wall if you are unsure about this. 

Add Some Tile

Do you have bare walls above your tub in your bathroom or throughout your kitchen? These are excellent areas to add some tile to help change the look and feel of these rooms. This is also a DIY home renovation that is not that difficult. You can do a whole wall, part of a wall, or just use a new strip of tile as a decorative accent. Not only will adding some tile to make any bathroom or kitchen look a little better and more unique. It will also make the areas where you have put this new tile easier to clean. 

Replace Kitchen and Bathroom Fixtures & Hardware

You would probably be amazed at how dramatically you can change the look of the rooms throughout your house by changing the fixtures and hardware in them. Most bathroom and kitchen fixtures are not that hard to change if you have a little mechanical ability. Changing the drawer, cabinet, and door hardware are even easier. So, head on down to your local home improvement center and pick up some new fixtures and hardware. You will be amazed at how this fairly simple DIY home renovation can liven up the look of the rooms around your home. 

Paint Creatively

More creative paint finishes that look very unique include sponging, metallic, striped, textured, ragging, and using Faux stone paints. These can easily be researched on the internet to find good instructions on how to do each one of them. 

Contact a Professional for Larger Home Renovation Projects
