4 Ways to Update Without Renovating

Renovation projects can be time-consuming and expensive.

Fortunately, they’re not your only option if you’re looking to change up the look or feel of your house — you can update without renovating!

Create More Space
Want more space but can’t afford a full-on addition? Try to enlarge your rooms organically. Add more lights and mirrors, paint the walls a brighter color, or rearrange the furniture to make better use of the space.

Try a Backsplash
You don’t need new counters or cabinets to make a big impact in the kitchen. Sometimes just adding a new backsplash — even the stick-on tile kind — can be a great way to transform a room. It even works in the bathroom, too.

Add an Accent Wall
Full paint jobs can be expensive, especially if you call in a pro. Can’t afford it? Consider an accent wall instead. You could even use a fun, patterned wallpaper for an extra pop.

Reimagine Your Pantry
Adding more storage space in the kitchen is always a valuable improvement. And you don’t necessarily need to knock out a wall or add more cabinets. Instead, add more shelves, install pot organizers, or add pull-out trays to make grabbing back-of-the-cabinet items easier.
