Renovating your home doesn’t have to be a costly and time-consuming process. There are many small and affordable changes which can make a surprisingly huge difference to the overall look and feel of your property.

Here at Garlick’s H Hardware in Muswellbrook, our hardware shop readily stocks a huge range of items which can come in very handy when taking on a home renovation. To help with that much-needed property refresh, we’ve put together some of our top home renovation tips which are both simple and affordable.

Consider repainting

It’s crazy the huge difference a fresh coat of paint can have to the interior and exterior of a property. Particularly if your property is currently home to some dark or outdated feature walls, repainting with fresh and light colours will make a huge impact and can completely reinvigorate your space. Paint also doesn’t have to cost a fortune and it’s something you can do yourself without having to hire a professional.

Simple kitchen changes

You don’t have to spend thousands of dollars on having your kitchen completely remodelled—there are many small changes which can make a giant difference to the look and feel of your kitchen. For example, if you have old and outdated kitchen cabinets, you could potentially repaint them in a fresh colour or replace them. Handles on cabinet doors and drawers can also be easily replaced to create a more modern appeal.

Don’t forget about your outdoor area

A home renovation isn’t complete without giving the outdoor area some attention. Whether you’re getting your home ready to sell or just want to create a nicer area for your family to enjoy, your outdoor space is where first impressions are made. By simply spending some time on your garden beds to weed, prune or replant some low maintenance plants, you will end up with a substantially more tidy and welcoming area. If you have a deck, cleaning and restaining it is another idea.

Refresh your flooring

If your home is still running old carpet, it’s likely time to rip it up and start fresh. Some of us will be lucky enough to find timber floorboards under our old carpets—if this is the case, you will probably want to make the most of this and opt to have them sanded and polished. If you’re not one of the lucky ones, you may want to opt for new carpets or the affordable alternative to timber floorboards, laminate.
