LOW-LIFT RENOVATION IDEAS

Renovating doesn’t always need to be a massive investment in time or money. Here are some ideas that can really pack a punch without it hurting the back pocket or turning your home upside down in the process.

Kitchen Skylights

Add some skylights to your kitchen space to really see some wow! It brings in so much natural light, gives the illusion of space, plus it brings the outside in.

Update Your Faucets

Often when renovating, the faucets are a bit of a forgotten element. People can obsess over the colour of the tiles, but then throw in any old chrome faucet.

Think about it as the topping on the cake and can be the hero of your home facelift if you let it.

Wallpaper

Hear me out.

Wallpaper in small spaces, like the powder room can create a real moment of escapism in your home. Done right, it can have elements of being its own art installation.

This wallpaper is one of my faves from Kelly Wearstler’s stupidly cool Graffito collection. Check it out here.

Sconce anyone?

Pendants are out, sexy, well-placed wall sconces are in.

Up a staircase, above bedside tables, on that wall that everyone has in their home that is the “decorative” section - you know the one, there’s a plant, some sort of console, usually a mirror or an artwork of some kind.

Zhuzh Up Your Hardware

The devil is in the details gang.

To really lift your home, focus on the hardware elements that are so often neglected. Think about curtain holdbacks, power outlets, kitchen cabinetry handles, door handles. There are so many amazingly creative products out there, do some googling and see what you can come up with!
