Fortunately, they&#8217;e not your only option if you&#8217;re looking to change up the look or feel of your house.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Even a few small changes can make a big impact as long as you pick the right ones.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Do you want to update your house without overspending or committing to weeks or months of construction hassle? Then try one of these four simple projects:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><span class=\"has-inline-color has-vivid-cyan-blue-color\">Create More Space<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Want more space but can&#8217;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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><span class=\"has-inline-color has-vivid-cyan-blue-color\">Try a Backsplash<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You don&#8217;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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><span class=\"has-inline-color has-vivid-cyan-blue-color\">Add an Accent Wall<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Full paint jobs can be expensive, especially if you call in a pro. Can&#8217;t afford it? Consider an accent wall instead. You could even use a fun, patterned wallpaper for an extra pop.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><span class=\"has-inline-color has-vivid-cyan-blue-color\">Re-imagine Your Pantry<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Adding more storage space in the kitchen is always a valuable improvement. And you don&#8217;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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Is your house no longer meeting your needs? It may be time for a new property. <a href=\"http:\/\/HowardHanna.com\/Camillus\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"http:\/\/HowardHanna.com\/Camillus\">Get in touch today to start your next home search.<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Renovation projects can be time-consuming and expensive.
