Home Upgrade: Transform Your Entryway

This project is one of the best home upgrades you can do to increase your curb appeal without that much work. You can either paint or replace your front door. If it happens to be of good quality, a simple paint job will do the trick.

And don’t be fearful of going with something that will stand out. And putting in a new door is another effortless beginner job you can tackle if the old one just won’t do anymore.

If your steps are made out of concrete, you can give them some epoxy or roll-on finishes to upgrade their look while, at the same time, this makes them less slippery. Another thing to consider is replacing your old railings, if you have any, with something a bit more modern.

This will make your entrance feel more inviting. If the weather permits, adding a simple bush or your favorite flowers can add a pop of color to your space as well.

Home Upgrade: Lightbulbs

A great cost-effective home update would be to replace your old lightbulbs with warm LEDs. You’ll find some great options at both IKEA and Amazon. Just be sure to always check the Kelvin value.

This indicates color temperature. 2700K is generally considered a soft white. Anything higher than that will make your rooms feel cold and uninviting.
