Replace Your Hardware

Changing out the tiny hardware in your kitchen or bathroom can make a huge difference. Replacing old handles with new will feel like you’ve given the room a subtle but fresh makeover. 

Paint your Interior Entry Door

Sometimes we forget what a big blank canvas we have on the interior of our front doors;. Transform the mood in your entryway by adding a splash of color. You can even play around with a free app like Paint My Place to see what the finished product would look like.

Basic Landscaping

As the weather takes a turn for the better, enjoy getting out of your home as much as the current circumstances allow and take a look at your landscaping. There are plenty of projects which won’t require you to make an unnecessary trip, like tidying up fallen branches. You can also contact local landscaping businesses to see if they’ve added free delivery for mulch and plants. 

Peel and Stick Design

Years ago, you probably would have associated the words “peel and stick” with arts and crafts, but DIY home design has come a long way! From backsplashes to accent walls to the backs of closets, the sky’s the limit with all the possibilities. 

Baseboards and Trim

It’s incredible how your home’s small details, like the trim and baseboards, can either add or detract from your interior’s overall beauty. Detail both with a magic eraser, dish soap, or vinegar, depending on if they’re painted or stained.

With each of these projects being relatively quick, you could knock out the entire list before stay-at-home orders are lifted! And if completing updates and repairs around your home leads you to realize it’s finally ready to be put on the market, contact Beltmann today for your free moving quote.
