If you’re a busy mom, you don’t always have time to plan a massive renovation. These can take weeks to complete and get in the way of your daily activities and the flow of a busy home.
However, you can change up your living space in a day. It can make your home feel fresh without the costs and downtime that come with a new bathroom, kitchen, living room, etc.
Try some of these simple, fast, convenient home renovation ideas that even the busiest families have time for.
1. Cabinets and Handles
Some renovations can take forever. Countertops, floors, and even just painting the walls can take the whole room out of commission for an entire day.
Cabinets are another story. They can be detached and worked on in a separate space and then brought back and reattached. Or, they can be replaced one-by-one, which is also not as disruptive as closing down your entire kitchen for a week.
Use the best options for kitchen cabinet painting to spruce up your kitchen immediately. Or, opt for replacing them and go for a different wood type, design, or even just new handles.
2. Appliance Upgrades
Upgrading appliances one by one is a great way to treat yourself to not only a new look with a sleek new finish but also a more functional and convenient home. Think about which appliances currently make your life more difficult, or leave room for improvement, and start there. These appliances can include the dishwasher, washer or dryer, or even your stovetop and oven.
Getting new appliances may cost a bit, but it also may end up being cost-saving if you invest in energy-efficient appliances. A new energy-efficient dishwasher may chop your water bill down instantly. These gradual savings can end up paying for the new appliance!
3. Lighting Fixtures
Adding statement fixtures like pendant lights and chandeliers to your home can instantly transform a room. Trade out a simple table lamp for a sconce or accent lighting. Free up floor space by getting rid of floor lamps that are just collecting dust. Replace them with beautiful fixtures that show off your favorite design elements.
The best thing about lighting fixtures is that you can truly install them anywhere in your house if you work with plug fixtures. You don’t need to go by the location of the pre-set ceiling lights. You can customize your lighting pattern as long as you can find a plug and an extension cord.
4. Quick Tech Upgrades
One of the newest ways that people are upgrading their homes is by integrating appliance upgrades with new smart home technology. Did you know that there are ways to control lighting, temperature, and even appliances from your phone or a separate device? This means that you could adjust or control your home even while you are out. Smart thermostats can help reduce excess energy usage and save money too.
The great news about this technology is that it often doesn’t take a skilled team to install. You can set much of this technology up yourself without requiring any building or home disruptions. It is a fast home renovation that can instantly add convenience to your lifestyle.
The Bottom Line
Why shut down your entire kitchen for a week of massive renovations when you could do it step by step, on a timeline that works for you? Try out these quick renovations in your home so that you can truly embrace your inner designer and add convenience to your day-to-day life.
