Maybe you’re between remodels and want to freshen your home decor a bit. Or perhaps you’re a renter who craves comfort.
With a bit of creativity, it’s easy to accomplish either home improvement goal without blowing the budget.
A Little Comfort That Goes a Long Way
It’s nice to be able to replace your home’s complete heating and cooling system, but that’s not always possible. The good news: You can do a lot with window air conditioners, fans, humidifiers, dehumidifiers, space heaters and air purifiers. The even better news: You can take these portable units with you when you move.
When shopping for AC units or other comfort appliances, make sure they’re the right size for the room where you plan to use them. There’s nothing more disappointing than spending money on an ineffective improvement. Also, buying hand-tool sets will ensure that you’re ready to tackle any installation, now and in the future.
Sprucing Up the Decor
If you’re not ready for a big investment like new carpeting or living room furniture, focus on details that refresh the decor.
Lighter curtains and sleek new window hardware can visually “open” a small room. Darker draperies, on the other hand, create bold contrast. Light-blocking and thermal window treatments can help add comfort as well as style to a room.
Silk or living plants are another easy way to update your home, from the family room to the kitchen. Don’t overlook the power of new cabinet hardware, either. Replacing bathroom hardware, from the vanity to the shower curtain, is one of those little details with a big impact.
