20 home improvements hack to boost your quality of life

There is no such thing as a perfect home. But thanks to these tips, you can get close to perfection!

You spent more time at home in 2020 than any other year, right?

Isn’t it crazy that like 99.9% of people reading this will say, “Yes!”? This is the new world. And it seems like we’ll all be sticking to our homes for a little longer yet.

If you want to make your home a better space, then consider one of these handy hacks:

1. Install seethrough kitchen cabinets

Many homes look dated thanks to their kitchen cabinets. These seethrough cabinets look both modern and classic. Hopefully, that’ll make them timeless!

2. Replace normal doors with sliding doors

Will sliding them back and forth ever get old? Probably not. Why do homes even come with doors that swing instead of slide?

3. Tile up your backsplash

You could do a huge kitchen renovation. Or you could just add some tiles to your backsplash. I know which solution sounds easier. And the tiles could really rejuvenate your kitchen!

4. Paint a wall stripy

If you did this to all your walls, then that would be overkill! But if you did this just for one or two walls around the house, then it could look stylish! Just make sure the stripe colors complement each other!

5. Add some crown molding fast

It’ll add elegance to your room. It may seem like a tricky task. But here’s a guide that will make it easy.

6. Remove the popcorn ceilings

Popcorn belongs in the movie theater. Not the ceiling! It’s as simple as that.

7. Go crazy with the command hooks

If you have a lot of stuff lying around, then you can organize them quickly with some command hooks. They’re cheap, and they will make your home so much cleaner! If you don’t like the plastic hooks, then you can always install some fancy ones!

8. Stain your stair banisters

You don’t have to give your entire home a makeover. Sometimes, just changing the color of your banisters can make all the difference. Just make sure everyone knows when the banisters are wet, or you could end up messing up your home!

9. Put a bookshelf under the stairs

What are you using that space under the stairs for right now? The odds are that you can move all the stuff under there someplace else and make one of these!

10. Replace your kitchen windows with accordion windows

Or install these in any room that faces the yard. Sure, this may be kind of a large upgrade. But how nice does this look?

11. Give your dog a bedroom under the stairs

If you don’t want to put your books under the stairs, then you might want to give this space to your dog. Or you could make part of the space a bookshelf, and part of it a dog bedroom. Why not have it both ways?

12. Add some new wallpaper

13. Add a roll-out pantry

This can turn out to be a real space saver. It’s ideal for smaller kitchens. And pulling it in and out will always be fun.

14. Make your shed cool

A shed doesn’t have to be a dull space for gardening equipment. You can make it into a small office or studio. It will be your home away from home at home!

15. Add a skylight

Again, this is a pretty big project. But once it’s done, you can fall asleep by gazing at the stars! Does anyone need any more convincing than that?

16. Install a fireplace next to your bathtub

It looks great, and it heats up the bathroom? What’s not to love? Why don’t all bathrooms have fireplaces in the first place?

17. Build a deck for your window

Sure, adding a huge balcony is quite an undertaking. But at the end of it, you’ll have a balcony! Worth it!

18. Transform a corner of your home into an office

Let’s face it, working from home will become normal for most of us for a long time. It’s time to stop working on the dining table and make your own office!

19. Install a walk-in shower

It’s easy to see why showers are usually attached to the bathtub. But nothing beats gliding in and out of the shower. What a breezy way of getting ready in the morning!

20. Add larger baseboards

This is a small detail. But it can definitely make an impact on the feel of a room. And if you do it while your kids are outside, maybe they’ll think they’ve shrunk.
