4 Affordable Changes to Your Home Decor That Make a Difference
No. 1: Pegboard Utensil and Pot Organizer Add a chic touch to your kitchen and make all your pans and cooking
Out with the old and in with the new! Transitioning into fall brings with it all the seasonal favorites — pumpkin spice lattes, cooler temperatures, trendy outfits, and fun home decor! Leaving summer behind can inspire the need for change as you prepare for the upcoming holidays. What better way to get ready for visits from friends and family than to make some notable changes around your home for a small price? Paint Switching up your wall color is an easy change that can truly go a long way. Did you know that different paint colors can elicit a wide variety of emotions and vibes? Shades of blue bring out feelings of peace and tranquility, while hues of yellow symbolize hope, happiness, and cheer. Red is the “color of confidence” and is a bold choice for those trying to make a statement. The color you choose can transform your room in a huge way without breaking the bank. Accent Pieces Changing out your accent pieces in big rooms, such as your bathroom and kitchen, makes a difference. The eye is drawn to these small details, and replacing outdated handles and knobs on cabinets and doors with trendy pieces is a great way to keep your home updated. Also, accent pillows and lamp shades can be switched out seasonally for some holiday fun! Crown Molding When many think of crown molding, they see dollar signs. This is likely because it gives off a very elegant vibe and looks expensive and fancy! While it will cost a few hundred dollars per room, it is an upgrade that is well worth it to deliver the look you desire. For an even more affordable option, check out peel and stick molding! DIY Backsplash In kitchens, one of the biggest statement pieces is the backsplash. To keep within your budget, there are many faux DIY options you can go with to create the subway tile, patterned mosaic, or artificial stone look you crave. You can even opt for faux brick or laminate! For assistance in making the best decisions for your home, check with the experts at your favorite hardware store!
utensils easy to grab with a pegboard! Not only are pegboards constructed rather sturdily, but you can also paint and use metal hook inserts to hold all sorts of kitchen tools, from heavy pans to kitchen scissors. No. 2: Upcycled Tin Can Storage Don’t throw away tin cans! Instead, keep them, repaint them, and/or label them for pastas, grains, spices, candies, snacks, and much more. Even in different sizes, you won’t run out of uses for these, since they can be potentially used as a gift container, too! No. 3: Hidden Measuring Cup Hooks Tired of your measuring cups rattling in a drawer? Put small hooks inside a cabinet door, hang your measuring cups, and close. You can use stick-on hooks or drill a small bar of wood inside and attach hooks to the bar. This works great with any small utensils, but it works best if your cabinet’s interior isn’t stacked and overflowing with items. No. 4: Pot and Pan Lid Storage Bar Everyone says keep your lid on, but nobody says what to do with your lid when it’s off. It’s annoying how often lids pile up inside your kitchen space — but if you install a single metal bar (yep, just one!), any lid with any type of middle grip can be stored on it. Just slide it on top, and the bar will hold up the lid, thanks to its handle preventing any fall. Bonus — Easy Chalkboard Menu/Grocery List While this isn’t an “item storage” idea per se, it does make it easy to store and update your grocery list! First, use chalkboard paint on the inside (or outside) of one of your cabinets. Then, use chalk markers to create and update your weekly grocery list every time you run out of an ingredient. You can also use it for a menu during parties!
