Here are three simple ones that just about anyone can complete in a few hours or even less.<\/p>\n<h2>Paint<\/h2>\n<p>A fresh coat of paint makes a huge difference and you don&#8217;t have to apply a lot of it in order to completely transform a room. Even just repainting kitchen or bathroom cabinets <a href=\"https:\/\/staging.migonline.com\/blog\/2018\/03\/31\/choosing-paint-color-finishes\/\">a neutral color<\/a> gives the home a spacious feel. Alternatively, use alternating light and dark colors to draw attention to certain areas of a room.<\/p>\n<p>Paint typically costs anywhere from $15 to $30 a gallon and supplies such as a paint tray, paintbrushes, roller and paint remover can be purchased for well under $30. Painting portions of a room shouldn&#8217;t take more than an hour or two although painting one or more rooms and\/or the outside of the home can take up to a couple of weeks.<\/p>\n<h2>Floating Bookshelf<\/h2>\n<p>A floating bookshelf serves two useful purposes. It keeps books and other types of clutter off of floors and tables. It also helps to create a unique style of decor in any bedroom or living room.<\/p>\n<p>All you need for the job are a couple of metal brackets, some screws and, in some instances, a drill. Metal brackets and screws shouldn&#8217;t cost more than a few dollars per set while a drill can be purchased for anywhere from $50 to $100. Alternatively, you can even rent a drill from large stores such as Home Depot.<\/p>\n<h2>DIY Wall Wreaths<\/h2>\n<p>A decorative wall wreath can add a natural feel to any room. You can purchase supplies such as glue, felt, fake leaves and\/or flowers for less than $20; alternatively, you can collect your own supplies while on a nature walk or even use old rags or clothing to come up with your own stunning designs.<\/p>\n<p>It shouldn&#8217;t take more than an hour or two to make your own wreath. In fact, you can do a DIY wreath in less than an hour if you have some experience and\/or pick a simple design.<\/p>\n<p>You may not be able to make major home improvements if you are still paying off a mortgage. However, that doesn&#8217;t mean you have to accept your home as is. Even small improvements can make a difference. Consider your options, style of decor and budget and then set to work making small yet significant changes.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>DIY home improvement projects don&#8217;t have to be costly or time-consuming.
