Home Improvements That Won’t Break the Budget

DIY Shutters 05/05/2022 12:00:00 PM

With utility bills rising, petrol increasing and food prices going up, it may seem that even the most affordable home improvements seem like a distant dream. However, that doesn’t have to be the case as there several cheap ways to improve the home.


1. Refurbing your Front Door

 
What better place to start than your front door? This is the first thing everyone sees when they arrive at your home. Over the years the elements can have a real effect which, after a while, can leave it looking in need of a bit of TLC. Luckily, you don’t need to be an expert to create this DIY home improvement. Just follow the simple steps below:
 
Step 1: Prepare the work area.
Step 2: Sand the surface.
Step 3: Prepare your primer, brushes and paint.
Step 4: Dampen the surface.
Step 5: Apply your primer.
Step 6: Start painting.
 
Whether you want to give your current colour a face lift or completely change it the choice is yours. It can be all be done in a weekend.

2. Repaint Your Interior Doors, Cabinets, Furniture and Walls

 
Why stop at the front door when you can do your interior doors, cabinets, furniture and walls too? With just a quick lick of paint, some farnish, and maybe a few screws here and there, you can breathe new life into your home in no time at all.
 

3. Add Rugs or Stair Runners

 
Completely replacing your floors is an expensive and time-consuming option for improving your home. However, just by adding a throw rug can help add another dimension and brighten up your room. You can keep costs low by doing some shopping around too.
 
If you have wooden stairs, a stair runner will not only help improve their look, but improve their grip when climbing them too.

4. Upgrading your Window Coverings

Now for an idea that is not only affordable but could make you more money in the long run. Not only are window shutters the only window dressing that will add value to your home, they can also help improve your home’s energy efficiency and reduce your heating bills.
 
They are perfect for making your windows look elegant both inside and out, allowing for greater light control, and they give you unrivalled privacy. We have a number of design options, from Café Style (half windows) to Full Height to Tier on Tier, all of which promise to add glam to your home.
 
A Measure and install service could set you back approximately £800 to £1000 for 1 window but at DIY Shutters we take out the middle man, allowing us to reduce costs and pass the savings on to you.
