5 Home Improvement Ideas Under $150

By
Property Manager with Cara Palmer Blog

 

Transform your space with a budget-friendly home improvement project. No money in the budget for remodeling? Sell some of your old stuff or pick up a side job for extra income. Try one - or all - of these fast, inexpensive makeovers to make your home look and feel great.

 

Organize Your Kitchen

 

It doesn’t matter what size your kitchen is, ample storage is always a selling point. Use unclaimed wall space to display open shelves to keep dishes, spices, and cookware organized. Paint or decorate plain shelves to add a pop of color.

 

Add Curb Appeal

 

Paint adds character to rooms in your home, so why not use it to dress up your front door, too? Give your exterior a sophisticated look by adding some plants, a doormat, and new lighting. A new mailbox can add instant charm when paired with a freshly painted front door.

 

Spruce Up Your Floors

 

There is nothing like a beautiful wood floor to add charm to a home, but over time dirt, and high foot traffic will leave it looking dingy and dull. Bring your floor back to life with a shine product that is designed for hardwood. I use Quick Shine to make mine sparkle.


Organize Your Closets

There are so many choices when it comes to closet organization systems. Tame your clutter with easy, affordable units that work for your stuff. Before buying something new, be sure to measure your closet and inventory it’s content. Pinterest is a great place to find ideas for a closet makeover.

 

Window Treatment


A DIY window treatment can give windows a custom look without the expense. Some new fabric and a mini blind can create a charming look to accent your color scheme.
