4 Mini Renovation Projects

So you have finally finished your spring cleaning for the season, and are still not satisfied with the overall look and feel of your home. In order to go into summer with your home looking as fresh as it possibly can, what better time to take on a renovation project other than now? If you are strapped for time, have no fear - because there are still plenty of mini projects that will have huge results for the overall look and feel of your home. Your local Knoxville movers have project ideas that will give your home the much needed change that you have been looking for.

1. Faucet. An outdated faucet can throw off the entire look and feel of your kitchen - no matter how great the decorating is. Investing in a new faucet allows you to immediately add elegance, a modern-feel, or an eclectic vibe to your kitchen - depending on what style of decorating you are going for. Since it is something you have to use on a daily basis as well, this is a great way to quickly revamp your home.

2. Railings. Often an overlooked aspect of the home, the railing to your staircase can make or break the look of your interior, since it is such a focal point of multiple rooms. If you live in an older home as well - you may be overdue for a staircase upgrade. Paying extra attention to the staircase will also create a smooth transition between the two levels of your home. A popular way transform your railings is by going to centers with reusable materials, to find materials that will add an interesting touch when replacing your staircase railings.

3. Bookcase. A great way to create a new look for your home and add storage all that the same time is to invest in a book shelf. There are many options to go with as well - you can have a bookshelf built-in, so that everything will fit perfectly and create a seamless look throughout the room, or you can purchase one that you can either have assembled or build yourself (depending on how adventurous you are). Going for a more traditional feel? Take a day to scour your local antique shops for a completely unique bookshelf that will add character to any room it goes in.

4. Lighting. Do not underestimate the power of outdoor lighting, it is the easiest and fastest way to add ambiance to your home. If you want to highlight architectural elements of the exterior of your home, put in low-voltage lights that will subtly highlight your home's landscaping. You can even create a more inviting look for the outside of your home - which will be perfect for upcoming summer nights - by installing footlights along the walkway to the entrance of your home.
