Happy New Year! As we roll into 2022 and winter kicks off, now is a great time to think about some projects you can tackle while the weather is colder! Donning layers of clothing and braving the cold isn’t for everyone, but luckily there are quite a few projects you can tackle inside that will bring extra value and beauty to your home.

Refresh your walls

Since you’re stuck inside staring at the walls, why not freshen them up or even give them a whole new look? Painting the walls a fresh, clean color and adding/painting trim and crown molding can completely change the look of a room! The great news is that it’s all super affordable, too. You can get a fun room refresh without the expense of a complete renovation.

This could also be a fun time to experiment with new design ideas. Use painter’s tape to create stripes or patterns, try new bold or dramatic colors, or even opt for some fun wallpaper - the sky’s the limit. You can make your room reflect your personality while having fun doing it!

Class up your interior doors

Replacing interior doors is an affordable way to give your home an updated look. Replace old doors with new, detailed ones to immediately add value to your home while giving it a facelift. If doors seem too much to tackle, you can always opt to just update the doorknobs. Updated hinges and doorknobs can quickly become a focal point in any home and are a great alternative to a full-on renovation!

Add a “splash” of personality to your kitchen

For homeowners looking to spice up their kitchen without spending a ton, adding a backsplash is a great solution, not to mention the perfect project for a cold winter weekend. For several hundred dollars you can completely change the look of your kitchen, as well as customize it to fit your personality. Just a few years ago The Home Depot had only about 40 tiles to choose from. Today, the store has more than 400 different styles and sizes, ranging from classic subway tile to natural stone to metal. While adding more functionality to a kitchen, a backsplash can also help accessorize and emphasize countertops, cabinets and appliances.

Create a luxurious spa retreat

There’s no better time than the winter to turn your boring bathroom into a spa retreat. While replacing a faucet, re-grouting tile, or repainting are relatively easy for the do-it-yourselfer, more ambitious jobs like replacing the tub or adding tile floor might be better to leave to a professional. No matter how little or how much you want to spend, any amount of updating to a bathroom will help to give you more of that spa-like experience!

Even small improvements can make a huge difference in your home! Winter is the perfect time to tackle these (and more!) interior jobs to give your house a facelift and a fun, fresh feel before we head into spring.
