Want to give your old wooden stairs a refresh? Try a simple lick of paint in a contrasting colour on the underside, grey and whites look great and clean-cut if you’re going for a simple finish, or if you want to be bold why not experiment with greens and blues?

Another option is using decorative stair stickers- these can be applied yourself onto the front-facing side. You can go as crazy as you like with the colour or keep it simple, you could even get customisable prints!

The cost of applying stickers or giving your staircase a lick of paint is much cheaper than carpet or laminate, even if your stairs or completely fine you might want to rip out the plain carpet and go for something a little different!

Give old cupboards a lick of paint

One of the biggest updates your house needs are most probably the cupboards. Old cupboards can make your kitchen or bathroom feel dated and even appear smaller, the expensive way to deal with this issue would be to replace all the cupboards, however, you can actually update your cupboards using just a simple lick of paint.

For wooden cupboards, you can pick a varnish to suit your home or for a more modern touch try chalk paints. If you want to go for a more ‘shabby chic’ look sand your cupboards before painting them.

Not a fan of cupboard doors? Remove them! Open cabinets not only help a room appear more spacious, but you can go crazy with the mason jars and labelling! make sure to pain the insides of the cupboards a nice bright or white colour.
