Stylize the space in your
Keller home with simple, smart buys and updates
Giving your
Keller home a stylish update can sometimes seem
like a daunting and expensive task in DFW. But, it's actually easier than ever
with the right mindset and design inspiration. Everyday items can easily be
up-cycled while a couple of inexpensive projects can be completed for a quick
style revamp of your space on almost any budget. Follow these tips to freshen
up your home from the outside in and you'll be amazed at the impact.
Plant some pizzazz
The first thing people notice about your house in DFW is the
landscaping and overall curb appeal. Try installing flowerboxes or even
planting shrubs and trees around your home. Buying a new tree is a small
investment and takes just a few hours to plant. For added color, consider
planting some perennial flowers, such as day lilies, tulips and roses - which
bloom every year. Painting or stenciling inexpensive planter boxes can give
them a higher-end look and just the right touches of color to your space.
Enhance your entrance
Adding some colorful accents to your home's exterior is a
simple way to make a style statement and enhance your home's curb appeal. You
don't need to repaint your entire home's exterior - just a few selective color additions can make
an enormous impact. A fresh coat of paint on the front door can go a long way.
A can of black, oil-rubbed bronze or brushed nickel spray paint can be used to
update metal house numbers, railings and light fixtures quickly, and for a very
low investment. If your front porch is rather dim, consider shopping at a flea
market or resale shop for a new light fixture to brighten up the space. LED
bulbs can be used for adding more light and energy savings. New and old pieces
can all be painted to match or left as is for a more rustic and eclectic feel.
Step into style
The key to creating a great first impression as guests enter
your house is the flooring. Hardwood and tile are common and classic looks for
entryways and foyers but aren't always within budget. Flooring companies now
have options that look and feel just like the real thing but cost much less-
and don't require professional installation or complicated maintenance
routines. Many companies offer a wide selection of colors, patterns and quality
levels in laminate and luxury tiles and planks that are easy to install, look
just like the real thing and are affordable.
Wow your walls
Painting is the easiest way to make a dramatic, fairly
inexpensive and instant impact on any room. Consider areas of your home that'll
get the most notice, like your dining room, kitchen, guest bath, foyer and even
guest bedrooms. An even quicker project is just painting one wall as an accent
wall. This will create a new focal point for the room that can be easily
achieved by going a shade darker, brighter or complementing the existing wall
color.
Easy, last minute tricks
If you're looking to refresh your kitchen, consider giving
the cabinets some new hardware. Is storage space tight and cabinets are out of
your budget? Mount some open shelving. New runners add interest to a long
hallway while fun, hanging art keeps the space trendy. Other trendy accessories
include wall sconces, throw pillows and photo frame wall galleries.
Remember, small projects pay off - you'll be enjoying your
new, low cost but big impact look for years to come without having to fret
about paying any large project costs.
