Hang New Light Fixtures
Lighting in a home often gets overlooked, but it has a big impact on the design appeal of a room. Good lighting brightens up the room and makes colors pop, while bad lighting makes rooms look small, dingy, and uninviting. According to design experts, most homes don't have adequate lighting (100 watts for every 50 square feet).
Ideal room lighting includes three types of fixtures: ambient lighting, which includes overhead fixtures; task lighting, which includes reading, under cabinet, and pendant fixtures; and accent lighting, including table or wall lights. If your home feels dark, it's time to tackle a DIY lighting project to brighten spaces and create an inviting atmosphere.
Install Smart Home Features
If you have outdated thermostats that don't light up and old door locks with no security features, tackle some DIY upgrades. Modern smart home technology controlled from mobile phones and computers is a big selling feature, especially for millennial homebuyers. According to Consumer Reports, smart home features can increase your home's resale value by at least 3%.
