Starting a DIY Home Improvement Project

DIY Home ImprovementStarting a DIY Home Improvement Project – There are few projects that are as satisfying as the ones that improve your home. Whether you live alone or with your family, your house is perhaps the most important place in your life. However, it can be hard to know where to begin.

DIY home improvement projects are a great and cost-effective way to improve the overall value of your home and quality of your life. As is the case with all projects, knowledge is important but equally important is having the right tools for the job. Having the right tools combined with knowing how to use them properly will give you the ability to move forward in your projects confidently.

Painting Tips

Painting is a great way to have big impact on your home with little effort. Even changing a room color from white to “off-white” can make for a completely new and fresh environment. When choosing your colors, you should be aware of that every color evokes a different emotion. Certain colors bring out aggression while others instill peace and calm. Below is a quick list of the basic  painting tools and equipment for the job

  • Tarp
  • paint roller
  • stirrer
  • paint brushes
  • measuring tape
  • 5 gallon bucket
  • roller tray

Roofing Improvements

Roof improvements can also be an excellent choice for a home improvement project. Consider choosing white or another reflective color to tile your roof. Darker colors absorb heat so tiles that are lighter in color will reduce the amount of heat that is pulled into your attic. This helps to save you money on your energy bills in the summer.

Smoothing Popcorn Ceilings

If you have popcorn (not the literal kind) on your ceiling, you can easily get rid of it. The popcorn ceiling look was very popular in the 60’s and 70’s but to many nowadays, it just looks dated. You can find solutions that will soften the texture allowing you to scrape it away. It’s a simple change but it can really bring your house firmly into the new century. There are many step by step instructions on removing the popcorn textures on the net.
