Five Quick Fixes to Refresh Your Space

Whether you’re getting ready to sell your home or just looking to make some cosmetic upgrades, you don’t have to embark on a full-scale remodel to make your home appear updated and larger. Here are five budget-friendly ways to refresh your space.

1) Add a pattern with peel-and-stick wallpaper or wall mural.  Wallpaper has made a comeback, and there are countless beautiful patterns now available in peel-and-stick application. It’s fairly easy to apply (grab a friend to help) and a budget-friendly way to dramatically transform a room. Boldly patterned walls can create an upscale feel, and most projects can be completed in a weekend. Try this wall treatment in a small space, such as a powder room or an accent wall in the bedroom, to add major style while keeping costs low.

2) Install board and batten on a wall.  Create dimension and interest by adding board and batten paneling to a wall. Board and batten paneling is typically installed in a symmetrical pattern, either rectangles or vertical lines to draw the eye up. This is a great way to make entryways or hallways feel larger and provide a custom, high-end look.
