Most of us do not commit every weekend to Toronto home renovation but do have a home projects wish list ht we want to tackle when we have the money and time to do it. While you wait for that time and money to be available, potentially you have been looking at various options with the help of the digital world, saving some boards from sites like Pinterest and keeping it safe for months or years. Thankfully, you need not wait for your bonus paycheck or a lottery to spruce up your home. Perhaps, you have not considered Toronto home renovation projects on a shoestring budget though they can make your home look as though you have invested several thousand dollars. Most of these ideas won’t require you to buy new things, but simply update items already owned by you with little custom touches. For instance, think of adding a frame to the bathroom mirror or wrapping a wooden headboard with tufted fabric. While the budget stays small for these makeovers, the impact is big making your dream home pretty much affordable than you would have ever imagined. Or, think of changing all the hardware in your home, from the old fashioned knobs on the cabinet to some vintage handles. Choose some stylish pieces that match your decor and reflect your personality.
There is no dearth of ideas to make significant improvements to home with just about $100 and here are some of these ideas, each of them explained in greater detail.
Track lighting
Bright overhead lighting is not always necessary for accomplishing your tasks while moving between the rooms. You can choose track lighting on the underside of your cabinets in the laundry, kitchen, and bathroom for easier navigation when it is dark.
Outdoor walkway
Check out the pathways in the yard and if you see them less defined, take some time out of the weekend and install some stone pavers along routes that are frequented. Appreciate the sophistication that stone walkways bring to your landscape and consider the very small cost of achieving that. The digital world can offer plenty of installation tips, material costs, and information if you need them.
Programmable thermostat
Take a good look at your existing thermostat. Modern-day thermostats are programmable and can be bought for less than $100. The unit can be installed safely and comes with the required instructions. A programmable thermostat not only gives that new look but also helps you make small savings on your energy bills paying back your investment in about a year.
Lighting fixtures
Take a good look at your old and basic light fixtures all-around your home. Now look for new alternatives in the digital world, particularly with sites like Amazon. You will find an array of attractive but inexpensive as well as the high-end expensive options. If cost and time constraints come in the way, you can even do this makeover in two installments than in one go.
The bathroom
With some quick additions, you can transform a standard bathroom into one that is pleasing, functional, and attractive. Changing the colors on the wall and the cabinet, additional shelves, introducing an art element can all be achieved at a very low cost. If you also decide to add that frame to the mirror the cost is about $20. Perceive these changes before getting down to the task, and you can immediately appreciate the fresh look of your bathroom post the Toronto home renovation changes.
Summing up
It takes just a few hours to bring about nearly all these improvements and when you do one job at a time, taking the next one a few days later, it would turn out to be just more fun than any hard labor.
