Effortless ways to improve your home without doing a full remodel.

Dred it, Run from it, the Holidays arrive early all the same. That’s right, we are talking Christmas time already! Compared to major retailers who can’t even wait for Halloween to pass before putting up the decorations *eye roll*, we actually need the lead time to renovate.

Normally, the idea of renovating around the Holidays is an “off limits” topic, however that’s not exactly what we will be covering today. Yes, if planning on hosting, a kitchen remodel is pretty much out of the question already. A bathroom remodel is possible, however the window is starting to close on that as well. No, today we will be discussing some of the minor and cost efficient home improvements you can make before Jolly Old St. Nick comes down the chimney or those 8 Crazy nights even begin.

Here are 5 Easy ways you can renovate your home before the Holidays!

Laundry Rooms

Being the true working class room, Laundry Rooms are often overshadowed by other functional rooms in the home. Simple updates such as a new coat of paint, or updated flooring go a long way to giving a laundry room a breath of fresh air.

However more advanced renovations can create a theme to your Laundry Room that make a statement.

  • Enhanced Lighting – Install bright, energy-efficient LED lighting to ensure you can see well while doing laundry. Or incorporate some natural light with new windows.
  • Create a folding area – If possible, create a folding area with matching countertops making the space into an “all in one” utility.
  • Maximize Storage – Laundry rooms often benefit from ample storage. Install cabinets, shelves, or wall-mounted racks to keep detergents, cleaning supplies, and other laundry essentials organized. An organized room will also help create the illusion of a larger space.
  • Update Appliances – Not a necessity but if your up for it. If the washer and dryer are outdated or not functioning optimally, it might be time to replace them with newer, energy-efficient models. Front-loading machines are popular for their space-saving design and efficiency. Not to mention, stainless styles are ones that last.
  • Accessorize – Add finishing touches like a matching laundry hamper, wall hooks for hanging clothes, or decorative elements like artwork or wall decals to make the space more enjoyable.

The best part about Laundry Rooms, they don’t require a permit! So no waiting around for local municipalities, just plan and go, so a renovation can be completed in a matter of a few weeks! When a Laundry is good it goes unnoticed, when it’s great it’s a staple piece of your home!

A New Backsplash

Another quick, cost effective update that can make your home feel new before you hear those sleigh bells jingling. A well-chosen backsplash can be a focal point in your kitchen or bathroom. It adds color, texture, and style to the space, making it more visually appealing. Whether you prefer a classic subway tile or a vibrant mosaic pattern, the backsplash can instantly elevate the room’s aesthetics while personally reflecting your own style and preferences.

If you ever decide to change the look of your kitchen or bathroom in the future, updating the backsplash is relatively straightforward and cost-effective. Additionally, backsplashes also offer a wide range of customization options. You can choose from various materials such as ceramic, glass, stone, or metal.

The best part, updating your backsplash will only take a few days to complete!

New Countertops

Not so quick or cost effective as a backsplash, however much easier on your wallet and calendar then a complete remodel! Considering the counters and backsplash go hand-in-hand it had to be next on our list!

New countertops in your kitchen or bathroom dramatically change the overall aesthetic of the space! From easily increasing the value of your home with one change to increasing functionality and maintenance in a fraction of the time! With a variety of materials to choose from, with new countertops, you have the opportunity to personalize your space to your liking. You can choose the edge profile, color, and finish that align with your aesthetic preferences.

If hosting duties fall into your home this year, new countertops can be highly durable and resistant to the high traffic you’ll see this Holiday season!

Shower Glass

Updating your shower glass is quick and painless. Whether doing a tub to shower conversion or just going for a frameless design, new shower glass elevates your bathroom to the next level!

A cleaner and sleeker shower glass design not only provides a modern look to your bathroom, but opens the room making the space feel larger. Not to mention Shower glass installs only take an hour! You have to wait 24 hours to let the glass set, but still only 1 day to give your bathroom a new modern feel!

New Plumbing Fixtures

A stylish faucet, a modern shower head, or elegant bathroom hardware, these fixtures can instantly update the look of your space, making them feel more sophisticated. The right choice of finishes, such as brushed nickel, chrome, or matte black, can also complement your overall interior design.

In Conclusion

As the holiday season approaches, there’s no need to fret about major home renovations. These easy and cost-effective improvements can breathe new life into your living spaces.
