Use the time todeclutter spaces like your bedroom closet.
Get rid of clothing thats stained, damaged, or doesnt fit.
Take anything you dont like and put it in a pile to give away.
Then, reorganize your items in a way that makes sense to you.
Dont know where to start?
Group like items together, such as shirts with shirts.
Move on to other areas of the home, such as yourkitchen pantryand under the bathroom sink.
Try swapping out the hardware on your kitchen and bathroom cabinets.
All you need is a screwdriver.
This is also something renters can do to give their homes a personal touch.
Just be sure to keep the old hardware and change it back before you move out.
Go for something eye-catching, like brushed brass or opt for sleek matte black in a modern home.
Install a New Shower Head
Want toturn your bathroom into a spawithout any construction?
Just swap out your shower head.
While this might sound intimidating because plumbing is involved, its actually easy.
Whether you want a stronger stream, a filtered shower head, or rain stylethe possibilities are endless.
Trust us, you’ll be glad you did.
Paint
While painting requires a bit of pre-planningits not very difficult to do.
It also doesnt have to cost a lot of money.
First, measure the windows and choose a curtain rod a few inches longer than the width.
Then, think about what colors and types of fabrics look best in your space.
Do you want rich velvet curtains perfect for blacking out a sunrise?
Or would you prefer something sheer and light to make the room feel breezy?
Hang the curtains approximately four to six inches above the window frame to make the ceiling look higher.
Be sure to measure the wall or walls properly before you order the paper.
