Remodeling Projects Any Homeowner Can Tackle This Spring

by 301 Comments

Spring is a great time of year to make some changes in your life. With the sun shining and warm weather finally here, people are feeling motivated to get things done after being in a long, winter slump. And we’ve got Remodeling Projects Any Homeowner Can Tackle This Spring that will help you and your BOO bond!

While many people focus on spring cleaning, this season is also a great time to do some home remodeling and renovations. In fact, a recent survey shows that about two-thirds of homeowners are making plans to renovate. Because the weather is just right, not too cold but not too hot, and because people are looking for a way to get busy after spending the long winter inside, you may want to consider one of the Remodeling Projects Any Homeowner Can Tackle This Spring discussed in this article. 

Give Your Home a Paint Job

Here’s an easy spring remodeling project for any homeowner: give your home a paint job. Painting is one of the least expensive and short-term projects that can give a home a brand new look. If you don’t want to completely overhaul a room in your house, consider giving it a simple fresh coat of paint. With the right colors, a paint job can take the look and feel of a room to a whole new level.

Or you can even invest in a new painting like this Soicher Marin Lipstick Painting which comes framed and ready to hang to give your wall a splash of color!

Consider adding a Sunroom or Enclosed Porch

If you’re looking for a bigger project, you should consider adding a sunroom or enclosed porch. This type of addition can significantly increase your resale value, and if the room is used just four hours each day on average, the ROI can be up to 115% of the original cost. So not only is it a great investment, but it’s a great way to enjoy the outdoors without dealing with outside elements. Things like bugs, poor weather, and too much sun can all push people to avoid the outdoors.

Relax in the sunroom or living room with this iconic rocking chair, featuring a stainless steel frame and yellow finish.

But with a sunroom or an enclosed porch, homeowners can enjoy the outdoors all year long, no matter the weather. Whether you’re looking for extra entertaining space, a quiet place to read and enjoy the sunshine, or a safe place for the kids to play, a sunroom is a great choice and you can get some cute furniture too!

Add a pop of color and sleek style to your outdoor ensemble with this chic Glider Sofa. This lovely design is the perfect way to liven up your look, both indoors and out. Showcasing a sturdy steel frame, a sleek UV resistant finish, smooth gliding design, and geometric cutouts, this bench is brimming with modern sophistication. Try setting this delightful sofa on your front porch for the perfect spot to sip lemonade or watch the sunset with a loved one. Or place it in your sunroom with a plush white shag rug and metallic end table for a mod-inspired look.

Spruce up your Kitchen

Because the kitchen is a central location of a home, it’s important to make it look and feel its best. One easy way to do this is to spruce up the kitchen cabinets. If you’re not looking to completely replace your cabinets, adding a fresh coat of paint or wood stain and some new handles or knobs can give your cabinets a completely new look. This is a great easy way to bring some new details to your kitchen.

Make mixing easy with this barcelona striped KMix stand mixer from Kenwood. Featuring five different speeds for ultimate versatility, the KMix stand mixer is perfect for baking, especially with its unique fold function that helps keep air in the mixture. The full safety interlocks provide full security and if the head is lifted, the machine automatically shuts off. Also available in fire cracker stripes, the barcelona striped KMix stand mixer makes the perfect addition to any kitchen and comes with a splashguard, spatula & whisk.

You can also add functional and colorful gadgets to your kitchen to bring that pop of color too with a barcelona striped KMix stand mixer from Kenwood

Reconfigure your Lighting

Changing up the lighting in your house can be another easy, low-cost project. Having good lighting in your home is so important, especially after a long, dark winter.

Bring some Spring into your home with this Metallic Multicolor Bourgie Table Lamp

By replacing old light bulbs with LEDs, getting some new lamp shades, or even new window treatments that let more natural light in, you can have a completely new ambiance in your house and enjoy a brighter home.

Create a Play area for the kids

And lastly, parents should consider giving their kiddos a new play area. The winter months can often give kids a reason to sit around and not get as much playtime in as they should. But regular play is essential to being healthy and strong.

Bring charm and character to your little ones room with this lovely wall plaque. Perfect hung on their door or above their desk, it showcases a chalkboard motif with accents such as playroom rules

In fact, regular play is involved in the growth of about 400 genes in the cerebral cortex. So by giving the kids a new playroom, play area, or even a new playground in the backyard, you can help motivate them to get active and get playing.

Allow your childs imagination to run free in their new home away from home. The indoor childrens teepees will keep your kids entertained for long periods of time and will avoid the mess of having them build their own fort. These teepees are very well crafted. Made of eucalyptus hard wood and complete with a cotton canvas, which includes a 2-flap front opening, they are perfect for a bedroom, living room or playroom

Giving your house a little bit of a makeover is a great project to tackle during spring. Whether you’re looking for something small, like painting, or something big, like adding an awesome new playground, now is a good a time as any to get to work and check out these Remodeling Projects Any Homeowner Can Tackle This Spring!

    We started to redo our back upstairs porch. It is a fantastic place to sit at night. Right now there are no railings and our project is to get it done before the summer. Mainly because we have kids and we currently had to lock up the door and remove the door handle so that the kids do not go out there and fall.
