When you hear the word "remodel," do you start to see dollar signs? Remodeling a home can be expensive, but it does not have to be. If you are on a limited budget, there are still some less expensive changes you can make to your home. Here are some remodeling projects that don't cost that much, but that will make quite a difference in the overall appearance and utility of your home. 

Repainting

People often figure that if their paint is not chipping or stained, they do not need to repaint it yet. But it is perfectly okay to repaint your rooms just because you want a different color scheme. And in fact, it is one of the least expensive remodeling projects that will make the biggest impact. There are a few different approaches you can take. You could repaint your entire home in one color, which will give the space a more cohesive look. Or, you could take the exact opposite approach and paint every room a very different color, which would create more variety throughout the space. 

Get Rid of Trim

Does your home have crown molding and big frames around the doors and windows? This was the go-to style for many years, but more modern homes are often built without this trim. Removing the molding and trim will greatly transform the look of your home, giving it a more minimalist aesthetic. Keep in mind that once the molding is removed, there will be some drywall work and painting that needs to be done to make the edges and corners look nice. So, this is a project you should generally hire a remodeling team or contractor to help with.

Pull Up Your Carpets

If you have carpets in your home, lift the corners to see what is under them. The old owner may have carpeted over a hardwood floor, which you could have refinished after removing the carpet. Or, if the floor under the carpet is not in good shape, you could have tile or vinyl put down on top of it. Both tile and vinyl sheet floorings are pretty easy for contractors to install over an existing floor, which makes this project fairly simple and low-cost. Having a hard floor rather than a carpet will make your room feel quite different.

The project above are all fairly easy to tackle, and they all make quite an impact on your home's appeal. If you want a fresh space but don't have a lot of money to spend, consider them as options.
