Home remodeling is an expensive prospect. You can easily spend tens of thousands of dollars renovating each room in your home \u2013 and many people simply don\u2019t have that kind of money to spend on a remodel.<\/p>\n

At Rare Renovations, we understand this. But even if you don\u2019t have a big budget, there are still quite a few things you can do to make your home a better place to live \u2013 and increase its value and curb appeal. Here are a few of our favorite\u00a0home renovation ideas\u00a0that you can pull off on a tight budget!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Change Your Doorknobs, Handles, And Hinges<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    You would be surprised at how much of a difference this can make. Old, rusted, or worn-out door hardware such as hinges and handles can really age your home \u2013 and make it less appealing.<\/p>\n

    Consider investing in new, high-quality stainless-steel door hardware. With proper care, these fixtures will easily last you for decades, and add a more modern flair to your home.<\/p>\n

      \n
    1. Replace Your Blinds Or Curtains<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      Worn-out blinds and curtains are unsightly \u2013 and you can really change the way your home looks simply by replacing them. If you\u2019ve got a set of old Venetian blinds, for example, you could replace them with a brand-new set of wood-style or bamboo blinds.<\/p>\n

      Choosing new blinds that accent the natural beauty if your home is a great way to make it feel different and more comfortable \u2013 and they\u2019re super cheap!<\/p>\n

        \n
      1. Furniture Covers Are Your Friend!<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

        Got a worn-out couch or easy chair, or a piece of furniture that doesn\u2019t fit in with the rest of your home? Invest in a new furniture cover!<\/p>\n

        Furniture covers are affordable and can be purchased for just about every piece of furniture in your home. If your furniture is in good shape, but doesn\u2019t quite fit your style anymore, this is a fantastic way to prolong its lifespan.<\/p>\n

          \n
        1. Paint, Paint, Paint!
          \n<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

          A fresh coat of paint can truly do wonders when it comes to home renovation. If you choose to paint a room yourself, you can easily get it done over a weekend \u2013 and for less than $100! Got a kitchen that feels cramped? Painting it with a color such as beige or light gray can make it feel more airy and spacious!<\/p>\n

          \u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

            \n
          1. Replace Cabinet Doors<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

            Everyone wants new kitchen cabinets. But a full set of new cabinets can easily cost you more than $500 per square foot \u2013 so unless you\u2019ve got quite a bit of cash set aside, that\u2019s going to be out of reach.<\/p>\n

            However,\u00a0cabinet refinishing\u00a0<\/strong>is quite affordable. Instead of replacing your entire cabinet, you can just replace the doors and hardware. This can make your kitchen much more aesthetically appealing \u2013 and usually, it only costs between $1,000-$3,000,\u00a0depending on your selected material.<\/p>\n

             <\/p>\n

              \n
            1. Replace Switchplates And Electrical Covers<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

              Switchplates and electrical covers go through a lot. They tend to get scratched, stained, and yellowed. So replace them! You can get new covers for just a few dollars at major home improvement stores.
              \nIf you\u2019re painting your home, this is the perfect time to replace switchplates and electrical covers, because you\u2019ll be removing them anyway to get the perfect finish on your walls.<\/p>\n

                \n
              1. Refinish Those Floors!<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

                If you have hardwood floors that are scuffed and scratched, you can seriously improve their appearance by having them refinished. The cost of restoring the average room is usually\u00a0somewhere between $350-900, so it\u2019s very affordable.<\/p>\n
