While the world continues to practice social distancing, you’ll likely find yourself spending more time than ever at home this summer. Hunkering down at home may not be your idea of summer fun, but it can be a great time to be creative and productive! Why not take your extra free time to tackle a few DIY projects that are sure to leave your space and mood a little brighter? Check out these budget-friendly DIY projects to help you do just that.
Update Light Fixtures
Lighting can make or break a room. Creating an airy, inviting ambiance in your home is as easy as replacing dreary, old light fixtures with chic, modern ones. We love this new light fixture in @craftedbythehunts recent bath refresh with our Vessel Contempra Faucet! Most light fixtures can be removed and replaced quickly and affordably with a simple handheld drill. However, if it proves to be more challenging than you anticipated, ditch the harsh overhead lighting altogether and bring in some funky accent or floor lamps for a soft, cozy touch.
Add a Pop of Color
If you need a change of scenery, consider adding a splash of color in your kitchen or bathroom like this one from @fromgrittopearl with our Stellen Pull-Down Faucet! Giving your walls or cabinets a fresh coat of paint can instantly transform a space and can be accomplished in as little as one weekend. For a project that requires a bit less effort, mix up the accessories in the room instead. Swapping out your cabinet hardware like these fun gold ones below, or adding a bright shower curtain, a gorgeous kitchen runner, a new bath mat, or a potted plant may be just the ticket you need to make the room look as good as new.
Freshen Up with New Faucets
Perhaps the most overlooked feature in both kitchens and bathrooms is the hardware, but it certainly shouldn’t be. Investing in new faucets for your house is the easiest way to make a BIG impact in the rooms that you spend so much of your time in! Faucets and bathroom accessories have come a long way like these Single Control Contempra Faucets from our recent project with @eyeinthedetail! With a variety of styles, finishes, and price points to choose from, finding the right hardware for your kitchen or bathroom is not only easy but enjoyable. If you’re ready to get started, check out this short post to help you choose the right finish.
