Modern decor often comes at a high price, but you don’t have to dig deep in your pockets to bring a modern feel to your home. Small projects like switching out old doorknobs to modern door levers will have a big impact on your space without breaking the bank.
Here are three home improvement projects you can do yourself to achieve a modern look on a modest budget:
1. Door handles
Door handles impact a home’s overall appearance as well as its functionality. In fact, more than half of homeowners say they notice the door hardware in other people’s homes, according to a recent study. Outdated doorknobs can drag down the style of your home. Switching them out for modern door levers is an easy afternoon project that will have a big impact on the aesthetic of your home.
Replace old door hardware with contemporary levers. Durable, stylish and with a range of functions and finishes for less than $50, levers are perfect for all your security needs. Interior privacy levers feature push buttons, offering an easy way of locking and unlocking, while exterior keyed entry levers feature superior security.
2. Kitchen cabinets
New cabinets can cost a bundle. They’re one of the most expensive elements in any kitchen renovation, but you don’t have to completely replace yours to get a modern look. First, consider what’s “wrong” about your existing cabinets. Are they dated? Is the hardware dull? Does excessive door trim make them look like something from a bygone era? Removing excess ornamentation, repainting or refinishing cabinet doors, and swapping out old, dated hardware can give your cabinets a fresh, new face at a very low cost.
3. Update walls
The walls are the largest design space in any home, and they have a significant impact on a home’s overall aesthetic. Are your wall colors in conflict with a modern design theme? That soft butter yellow you painted the kitchen a few years ago may not fit with the new modern look you want to create this year. The rich burgundy in the dining room may be too ‘80s to go with the sleek modern furniture you just bought.
Updating your walls with a color palette that is crisp and clean can help evoke a more modern look throughout your Keller home. Don’t overlook the ceiling and trim when you’re repainting. Doing trim and ceilings in hues that contrast with wall colors is a hot trend in modern interior design.
When it comes to home improvement, a few smart choices can make it look like you spared no expense to achieve your modern design – and leave you satisfied instead.
