Ways to Create a New Look for your home under $50

 *    PAINT THE FRONT DOOR. You would be surprised at how much a bold, complimentary new door colour will liven up the curb appeal. A freshly painted door will add instant impact to the front of your house.

*     MAINTAIN YOUR YARD. A poorly maintained yard leaves the impression of a home in disrepair. Keep your lawn in good condition, remove any trash or items around your property and be sure to keep your gardens manicured.

*     ADD EXTERIOR DETAILS.  A nice new mailbox, or stylish address numbers, new light fixtures or colourful potted plants are great, inexpensive ways to give your home a welcoming new feel.

*     INSTALL NEW LIGHT SWITCHES AND OUTLETS. New switches and outlets can usually be replaced using the same wiring. New face plates can give the home a more updated look.

*     INSTALL NEW CABINET HANDLES. If you don't want to go through the expense of installing new cabinets, then go to your local Hardware Store and pick up some new replacement handles. It's easy and affordable.

*     PAINT THE WALLS.  If you decide you want to update a room's colour palette, the right shade can dramatically change the feel of a room.

*      WASH WALLS AND WINDOWS.  With a little elbow grease you can often return the luster of an old coat of paint. Crystal clear windows will also improve the look of your home's exterior.
