Worth an estimated $57.2 billion, the U.S. home improvement industry employs about 677,566 people. Considering just how much profit this massive industry generates, it’s only natural that more than half (56%) of Americans who made home additions and improvements in the past year spend $1,000 or more, according to Scarborough research.
However, home remodeling does not necessarily have to be expensive. There are tons of cool house additions and remodels that can be done for just a couple hundred dollars. Here are just a few.
Kitchen Ideas
Whether you’ve got a nice big kitchen or a tiny little nook, having ample storage and cabinetry is always a selling point. If there’s a blank wall in your kitchen, why not add some new shelving or cabinets there to make more storage space? If you’ve already maxed out the possible places for storage, why not repaint your cabinets? Each of these home additions is very cheap, and can be tackled in just a weekend.
Bathroom Ideas
Improving your bathroom can help you start your morning routine off right. Why not add a new fan to your bathroom or upgrade your shower head? A new fan can help you defog your mirrors after a nice steamy shower, and will also keep mold from creeping in. A new shower head will help you get as clean as possible and make your morning routine all the more enjoyable.
Bedroom Ideas
One of the best home additions you can make for your bedroom is a new lighting system, which will allow you to set the mood of your bedroom and create more ambiance. Plus, there are tons of different ways to add more lighting to your bedroom. You can line the bottom of your bedroom with LEDs, install a nice chandelier, or put in some dimmers.
And to think, these are just a few of the cool home additions you can do without having to break the bank. If you have any questions about these awesome, inexpensive home additions, feel free to ask in the comments.
