You can improve the look and feel of the building by making small, inexpensive enhancements. The time spent fixing something plus the cost of the materials can really cut into a budget if not properly considered.

Taking time to fix small things now means it’s less likely to need a big repair down the road.

Some cost effective ways can be the following.

-Replace old hardware and fixtures door handles to drawer pulls, shower curtain rings to toilet seats. Consider the handles in bathrooms and kitchens – do they look worn out and discolored?  Do toilet seats and seat covers have cracks or unidentified markings? When it comes to easy home improvements, old hardware replacement is a must.

-Change up your window treatments: new blinds or curtains can give your building a whole new look and feel. Shades keep your rooms darker and cooler which cuts down on energy costs in the summer. Blinds allow to adjust room light to their specifics but can be costlier to maintain and replace. Treatments can change the feel and look of a room just as much as a new paint job without the messy time and effort. Rather than worry about repainting a room, just take a moment to change the available light. One popular option today are fabric blinds, that will give an elegant uplift.

- Replace kitchen and bathroom faucets. Sometimes can be easier and cheaper to replace a faucet rather than try to get them clean. Old faucets can contribute to an outdated look, but a new faucet with a sleek design and modern finish can quickly help to bring a space into the current decade. Keep in mind it’s possible to replace just the faucets and handles without replacing the entire sink, but you’ll need to make sure your new faucet fits into the old unit! 

-Paint kitchen cabinets. Thanks to some advances in home improvement painting kitchen cabinets need not be the humongous job it used to be. Check out products like gel stains and oil bonds, which let you skip those two time consuming steps and move right onto the painting! You still have to clean the cabinets first, and doors must come off and drawers must come out. 

Restore old doors, If you don’t have the money to buy new ones, a fresh coat of paint will work wonders also.
