Winter is the perfect time to start an indoor project to refresh a space in your home. While large remodeling projects are always on the table, a smaller project – an update or a facelift – can energize you through the winter months and keep your creative juices flowing. Read on for our favorite easy winter projects.
Trim work and doors: These areas can get scuffed, dinged, and dirty from daily use. Washing, painting, or replacing trim work and doors will instantly bring a freshly finished look to your house. You could add crown molding or upgrade your doorknobs as well.
Painting: Painting a new color or an accent wall will have a huge impact on the feel and style of a room, and with newer no-VOC formulas, you may not even be able to smell the paint.
Light fixtures: Replacing dated light fixtures or ceiling fans is an easy DIY job that most homeowners can accomplish in an afternoon.
Regrouting or caulking: Regrouting tile and caulking in bathrooms and kitchens is vital home maintenance and a perfect indoor project that won’t take too much time and materials.
Wainscotting, shiplap, and decorative millwork: Imagine an intricate new ceiling medallion, a rustic shiplap accent wall, or cozy wainscotting in your favorite space – little details can make a big difference.
Mini-space makeover: Choose a room and change out the colors, decoration, and storage to make it feel like a brand-new space. This is a great time for a laundry room or bathroom makeover!
Plumbing fixtures: The look and feel of your plumbing fixtures have a huge impact on your space. Think of the difference in how your bathroom would look with ornate gold fixtures versus sleek, modern brushed nickel, or rustic style aged bronze.
Hardware: Think of new drawer pulls and cabinet knobs, switch plate covers, coat hooks, window locks, or vent covers.
Think bigger: If you’re up for it, winter’s a great time for bigger ticket upgrades too – like a tile backsplash in the kitchen, new countertops, flooring, or a basement remodel.
Don’t underestimate the impact of small projects. Refresh your home this winter with an easy indoor project you’ll enjoy immediately.
