Paint your walls.
A fresh coat of paint is a simple way to give your home a new and clean look. Depending on your budget, paint the exterior and interior of your home. You can do this yourself or hire someone to get it done if you're time-strapped. You can choose a crisp color to brighten the mood inside and outside your home.
Update your flooring.
Replace your carpet or vinyl flooring. Old and worn carpet or vinyl flooring make homes look dirty and dungy. You can replace them with new ones or you can install stylish tiles to give your floor a lift. Be sure to choose tiles that will match the overall theme of your home.
Install new faucets.
Old faucets wear with age. Their dull appearance can affect the mood in your bathroom and kitchen. Purchase fresh-looking faucets from your local hardware store. Add some plumbing supplies you might need for a leak problem or what have you. You can hire a plumber to install new faucets if you're not confident to do it yourself.
Wash your driveway.
A concrete driveway will dingy overtime. Rent a pressure washer so you can wash it thoroughly. Your grungy concrete will shine like new afterward and this can improve the exterior look of your home.

Install a dusk-to-dawn lighting system outside your home which will automatically turn on if there is any movement outside of your home. This ideal for any type of home - improving the safety and security of your home.
