But maybe the thought of gutting your entire kitchen is unappealing or simply not in your budget. Don\u2019t fret, you have options to update your kitchen. Consider replacing just the countertops or refinishing your cabinets with a new color to bring new life to your kitchen. Upgrading your existing appliances to a more energy efficient model is another great way to remodel your kitchen while staying well within your budget.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">2) Update your bathroom\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Maybe you\u2019ve postponed remodeling your bathroom for as long as possible, but now the space is starting to look too outdated and worn. The poor lighting and paint color make your bathroom too dark when you\u2019re getting ready in the morning. Your tub is three shades of yellow, when originally it used to be off white, and deep cleaning hasn\u2019t helped. Oh, and don\u2019t forget about the green laminate countertops and lack of under-the-sink storage. Updating your bathroom can easily transform your space into one worthy of an <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.redfin.com\/blog\/transform-your-home-into-a-spa-and-wellness-retreat\/\" data-wpel-link=\"exclude\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">at-home spa day<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> without having to spend a fortune, making it one of the best home improvements for your budget.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">3) Install a walk-in closet for added storage<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It\u2019s no surprise that many homeowners want houses with lots of storage. If you find yourself constantly running out of storage space, consider adding a walk-in closet to your home. While the idea may seem intimidating, hiring a professional to create the ultimate walk-in closet can make the process that much easier. Whether that\u2019s turning an entire room into a brand new closet or adding custom shelving to an existing walk-in closet, you\u2019ll have options at every price point.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-72195\" src=\"https:\/\/www.redfin.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/1538-Beachtown-Dr-77550-6.jpg\" alt=\"open-living-room-best-home-improvements\" width=\"1200\" height=\"800\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.redfin.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/1538-Beachtown-Dr-77550-6.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/www.redfin.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/1538-Beachtown-Dr-77550-6-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.redfin.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/1538-Beachtown-Dr-77550-6-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.redfin.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/1538-Beachtown-Dr-77550-6-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.redfin.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/1538-Beachtown-Dr-77550-6-225x150.jpg 225w, https:\/\/www.redfin.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/1538-Beachtown-Dr-77550-6-945x630.jpg 945w, https:\/\/www.redfin.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/1538-Beachtown-Dr-77550-6-450x300.jpg 450w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">4) Make your space into an open floor plan<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Some of the best home improvements are the ones that make the biggest impact on your space. The mere thought of making your living room and kitchen into an open floor plan can sound daunting. But, it doesn\u2019t have to be. Maybe you live in a home where there\u2019s only one wall separating the two rooms. If this sounds like your home, knocking out that wall may be a worthwhile home improvement idea to add to your list.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Knocking down a wall ranges in price depending on whether or not the wall is load-bearing, which is a structural wall that supports the weight above it. If it\u2019s a load-bearing wall you can expect the cost to be at the higher end of that range. Before taking matters into your own hands, it\u2019s best to contact a professional to know what kind of wall you\u2019re planning to knock down. And better yet, just have the professionals do the job for you. That way you\u2019ll have a spacious and airy room without the potential of a <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.redfin.com\/blog\/diy-home-projects-common-mistakes-and-how-to-avoid-them\/\" data-wpel-link=\"exclude\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">DIY project gone wrong<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">5) Switch out old carpet with new hardwood<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A favorite home improvement project among many homeowners is replacing carpet with hardwood flooring. So if your carpet looks matted from years of foot traffic or has noticeable tears from your pet\u2019s scratches, then it\u2019s probably time to consider replacing the flooring. To stay within your budget, consider replacing the flooring one room at a time. Start with high-traffic areas like your living room or entryway for a noticeable upgrade, without having to replace your entire home\u2019s flooring all at once.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you\u2019re a fan of carpet, consider updating existing carpeted rooms with the right material that will stand the test of time. Your local flooring store can help you decide the best flooring for your budget.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">6) Refresh your interior or exterior painting<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Painting your home may seem like an obvious choice, but it can make one of the biggest impacts on your space. Painting your interior walls a new color can bring inspiration into your home- perhaps a calming sky blue in your bedroom or a cheerful yellow in your kitchen. And freshly painted walls are a great home improvement.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If your interior walls are already in tip-top shape or are a shade you love, consider having your home&#8217;s exterior painted to spruce up your curb appeal. A pop of color on your front door or a refresh of your current paint can make your curb appeal more welcoming every time you arrive home.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">7) Replace drafty windows with double-pane<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It\u2019s possible that installing new windows wasn\u2019t always on your list of home remodeling ideas. But some of the best home improvements don\u2019t always make the list at first. In the long run, double-pane windows may even save you money when it comes to energy bills.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you live in a home where it seems like you\u2019re always turning on the heater during the winter, double-pane windows may be the right fit to help you save on heating. While replacing your windows may be on the high end of your $10,000 budget, especially if you have a larger home, your <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.energystar.gov\/products\/building_products\/residential_windows_doors_and_skylights\/benefits\" rel=\"\u201dnofollow\u201d external noopener noreferrer\" data-wpel-link=\"external\" target=\"_blank\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">energy bill savings<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> may just be worth it in the end.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Pro Tip: <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There are many benefits to installing new windows to your home. The most notable one is the material increase in resale value (agents love homes with new windows because they serve as a great selling point). Another one is improved curb appeal which helps sell the house faster. Lastly for investors\/landlords, the lower energy bills and improved quality of life will encourage tenants to extend their lease. &#8211; <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.clearmaxwindows.com\/\" rel=\"\u201dnofollow\u201d external noopener noreferrer\" data-wpel-link=\"external\" target=\"_blank\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">ClearMax Windows<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-72196\" src=\"https:\/\/www.redfin.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/3804-Woodcliff-Rd-7.jpg\" alt=\"outdoor-living-space-green-grass\" width=\"1200\" height=\"800\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.redfin.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/3804-Woodcliff-Rd-7.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/www.redfin.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/3804-Woodcliff-Rd-7-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.redfin.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/3804-Woodcliff-Rd-7-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.redfin.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/3804-Woodcliff-Rd-7-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.redfin.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/3804-Woodcliff-Rd-7-225x150.jpg 225w, https:\/\/www.redfin.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/3804-Woodcliff-Rd-7-945x630.jpg 945w, https:\/\/www.redfin.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/3804-Woodcliff-Rd-7-450x300.jpg 450w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">8) Embrace indoor-outdoor living<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Now that spring is in full bloom, it\u2019s time to welcome back indoor-outdoor living.

Anything from a fully-fledged outdoor kitchen, a hot tub, or new outdoor furniture can bring new life to your outdoor space.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you\u2019re trying to become one with nature this spring and summer, consider adding new greenery to your backyard with lush trees and flowers that will be inviting no matter who sets foot outside. Indoor-outdoor living upgrades are some of the best home improvements to update your space no matter how much or how little you spend.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">9) Cool off with an AC unit<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you\u2019re living in a warm climate like <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.redfin.com\/city\/14240\/AZ\/Phoenix\" data-wpel-link=\"exclude\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Phoenix, AZ<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, chances are you have an AC unit in your home to cool down during hot summers.
