Easy DIY upgrades to make a house look expensive on a budget

Share this project

Whether you’re preparing to sell your home or just looking to freshen things up, there are plenty of affordable home upgrades that make a big impact. Changing existing finishes or adding an architectural detail where there was none before is an opportunity to showcase your personal style. These finishes are a great way to upgrade dated and basic rooms.

Lighting

Replacing outdated fixtures with new lighting in current styles can instantly refresh a tired looking space. Consider improving areas with inadequate lighting with additional wall sconces or pendants.

Stone veneer

Natural stone gives an immediate high-end look and is an ideal way to add interest to an ordinary fireplace or a plain wall. Easy to install and available in assorted textures and colours.

Texture

Trim and moulding can inexpensively transform a flat surface into a strong visual element. Choose a design that reflects your individual style. Go contemporary with wood slats or traditional with wainscotting or panel moulding.

Built-ins

Maximize underutilized spaces with custom built-in furniture. Whether it’s a window seat, mudroom or shelving, a well-constructed built-in adds function and storage solutions while improving the value to your property. Refresh your home with the listed upgrades from trusted brands, available at your local TIMBER MART.
