5 Low Cost DIY Renovating Ideas
I have to admit, I am a fellow lover of DIY home renovations. Having DIY renovated with my partner, we fell in love with learning what we could do ourselves to make a big impact on the home.
Most DIY renovators don’t do anywhere near enough research on what can be done with minimal time and financial impact before they start.
To DIY renovate successfully, the biggest tip I can share is to keep it simple and keep within your capabilities.
5 Low Cost DIY Renovating Ideas
Here are my five recommendations for DIY projects that make a high impact on the look and feel of your home:
Install LED downlights - the single best, most high impact way to improve your home by improving the lighting. We used the Bunnings LED downlight packs and saw a huge difference in the look and feel of each room.
Replace your skirting for a modern re-fresh - pretty simple, but has a high impact on the ‘new’ feel of a home.
Install VJ panelling - high impact, low cost feature that looks amazing in all styles of home. We used the panelling over walls with particularly unforgiving plasterwork to save money.
Replace door furniture - pick out some new handles for your cupboards and doors. This trick will make the house feel more your style for very little effort.
Paint - seems obvious but it does make your home feel brand new!
Renovating is a simple start and finish game
The more clients understand how renovation projects can be set up for success, the easier managing it all gets.
So work hard on understanding what you can and can’t do on your reno!
