One of the simplest and quickest ways you can refresh the look of your house on a very low budget is to add a fresh new coat of paint to your walls. For an extra refreshed look, try a completely new color. Kefauver True Value Lumber has the biggest selection of paints & stains in Harford County, MD and paint sample cards you can take home to compare and contrast colors.

Another inexpensive way to completely refresh the look of your home is to add some simple moulding to the tops and bottoms of the walls in your rooms. A good moulding job will add a touch of elegance to any room. Moulding comes in a vast variety of different styles also, from traditional and regal to modern and eclectic - whatever style you’re going for, there’s sure to be a moulding to compliment it. Kefauver True Value Lumber’s millwork department can help you choose a style that’ll fit your room best.

This is another quick and simple DIY project (for most home-owners who have just a little bit of handyman skills) that will add a nice refreshing touch to your home, as well as add a little value in the process! Hollow doors for indoor use are very inexpensive… but when it comes to front and back doors - just putting out a couple hundred bucks can buy you a beautiful antique salvaged wood door with much more elegance and character - and with a little bit of searching, you’ll be able to find a beautiful work of art for the entryway to your house for a very inexpensive price!

This is another one of the most inexpensive and simplest ways to refresh the look of your home quickly and on a low budget. Over time, some cabinets (especially ones that weren’t hand-made) tend to lose the beauty and overall sheen they have when they are first purchased, and don’t tend to age as nicely as a good old-fashioned kitchen cabinet made by your local hometown cabinet maker (these are getting harder and harder to come by!). Luckily, a wide variety of paints are available specifically for painting and restoring cabinets (just make sure you’re buying the right paint here!). The customer service representatives in the paints & stains department at Kefauver True Value Lumber can help you pick out the right paint for this job.

If you really want to add a touch of class (and you have a little bit more handyman skills than the average joe), you can easily and inexpensively add a floating breakfast bar in your kitchen. I recommend putting out a little bit of extra cash and finding a nice piece of hand-cut wood for your bar. The lumber yard near me can help you pick out the right wood for this job. Then, floating the bar is actually quite easy, and just requires a little bit of drilling into the studs of your walls and attaching some brackets to the studs and the bottom of your bar. Invisible floating brackets are also made at a higher cost. For a really classy look and to make sure you’ll be able to enjoy your bar as much as possible, install the bar in front of a window in your kitchen that has a clear spot in front of it, if plausible.

There are a few really simple practices you can put into place right now to refresh the look of your home. One does not always need to hire a contractor or interior designer for home improvement jobs. All of these steps require little money and go a long way for home improvement.
