We all know that house renovation is an expensive pastime. Re-doing the kitchen or a bathroom can have you thinking about taking out a second mortgage - but there are loads of quick projects you can try which won’t break the bank and will still add value to the house. We’ve narrowed it down to five quick-and-easy projects which will rejuvenate your home!
Clean your carpets
Carpets are an expensive investment in your home and it’s good practise to look after them properly. If you have pets or children, it’s a good idea to get your carpets professionally cleaned every few years on top of regular vacuuming. The average Australian only has their carpets cleaned every 6-8 years - but it’s a great way of making your house look fresh and clean. The other big plus is that many companies which clean carpets also offer duct cleaning services, which brings us on to number two on our list.
Have your heating ducts cleaned
A super-powered vacuum is inserted in the heating ducts and cleans out all the interior dust and debris. This can cost as little as $100, but the average tends to be around $500. It’ll have a huge effect on how efficient your heating system is, as well as removing lots allergens in the air - perfect if anyone in the house has respiratory problems.
Paint a feature wall
Feature walls are a great way to make a change in your home without making a big fuss. They add colour and character to brighten up a space without being too time-consuming and look most effective on a surface without doors or windows. Choose a striking colour which complements the room’s existent neutral tone or any statement decor. If you’d rather let a professional handle the painting work, the bill still comes in under $500.
Seal up your driveway
Sealing your driveway protects it from temperature-related corrosion and could potentially save you money in the long run if you’d otherwise have to look at getting the entire thing resurfaced later on. Your driveway will look clean and refreshed and, unless you have an unusually large drive, should cost you well under $500.
