5 Ways To Instantly Revamp Your Home

It's a new year, and your home still looks the same.

Your environment should reflect just how much you've improved. 

I mean, we've been through a lot these past couple of years—a recession, two waves of the pandemic, and so much in between. 

With that in mind, we at the Savant Realty Group have made a list of home improvement DIYs that you can do around the house in one weekend to give your home a whole new look.

1. Get A Green Thumb

Bringing in greenery can provide new life for your home. 

You can choose either live or plastic plants to accomplish this effect. However, if you opt for live plants, you stand to benefit from lower stress, improved focus, and a better immune system (source). 

If you need suggestions on what plants to have indoors, here's a list of the best houseplants (source):

• Snake Plant
• Pothos 
• Jade Plant 
• Aloe Vera

2. Paint

The color we got when we moved in is chosen to be as neutral as possible. That way, anyone can imagine themselves living there. 

You're not anyone.

You need colors and designs that reflect your personality and the feeling you want people to have when they enter your home. 

So grab some paint to add an accent wall or change every wall in a room. Either way will completely change the mood of your home.

3. Hang Art

Whether you get it from Targét or commission a few pieces from your favorite underground artist, art can bring so much culture into your home.

Placing paintings in common areas (such as the living room, dining area, and foyer) can catch eyes and become a conversation starter. 

4. Change/Add Lighting

Changing and adding light fixtures can modernize your home.

Some great options are pendant lighting, recess lights, and undercabinet lights strategically placed throughout the house. 

We also recommend investing in lighting directly on the exterior of your home and/or included in your landscaping. This will add to your home's curb appeal and make it more inviting. 

5. Update Your Hardware

Switching out the hardware in your home is perfect for those who aren't ready to swap out their cabinets and such but still want to give them an upgrade. 

So, check your faucets, cabinet handles, doorknobs, etc. If they're outdated or don't bring you joy, then it's time to break out the screwdriver and start unscrewing. 

The minimalist look is in, so opt for sleek, clean, and neutral hardware. 

Conclusion

Giving your home a refreshing new look doesn't have to be complicated or break the bank. 

Try any of the tips above to improve the look of your home.
