How to upgrade any room in your new home on a budget

While looking at new homes, you may be struck by a few fantastic homes that have just one or two rooms that are not quite perfect. Don’t worry there are ways that you can renovate a room on a budget.

Here are a few cheap upgrades depending on the area of the home you want to remodel. All you have to do is factor this into the purchase price.

Kitchens

Don’t like the current cabinets? Either paint them a different color or purchase new cabinet doors: either option is cheaper than replacing them entirely.
Add new hardware. Drawer pulls and cabinet handles are a fast way to change the look of a kitchen.
Purchase new appliances. New appliances will increase the functionality of the room while also adding to its style.

Bathrooms

Update the fixtures. A new shower head or a new faucet can do a lot to update the look of an older bathroom.
Add different lighting. Lighting and mirrors can dramatically alter the appearance of a bathroom.
Resurface the bathtub or add tile backing. A resurfaced tub will look brand new. Rather than tiling everything individually, you can purchase backing that is pre-tiled.

Bedrooms

Remove popcorn ceilings (but get them tested first). Some popcorn ceilings may contain asbestos.
Build out the closet with additional storage. Built-in storage, such as for shoes, can add a lot of value to an unstructured closet.
Add mirrors to open up the space. This is especially important in smaller bedrooms.

Living Rooms

Add new light switch and outlet plates. If the old switches and outlets are cracked and worn, it may be making the property look old.
Put molding or wainscoting in to give the room some additional flair. These are easy to install and add a level of classic detail.
Paint the living room a different color. Painting is an easy, affordable way to make a room look completely different.
Update the windows. Place frames around your windows to make them look larger—or replace them entirely with energy-efficient models.
