Old, worn-out fixtures are not going to speak to them the way nice, new up-to-date shiny hardware will. Unless your knobs, pulls, handles, or hinges are broken, you need not replace them. Get that fresh look simply by thoroughly washing, sanding, and painting them with spray paint made specifically for kitchen and bath hardware, making it cost- effective.
Check these hardware items closely and replace, as needed:
• Towel bars • Toilet paper holder • Door handles • Dated light fixtures
Don't replace with the cheapest you can find-it will look cheap. Rather, get a good value on some more trendy hardware and buy a package at a discount. The goal is to touch up your home nicely without excessive spending. The internet has a wealth of do-it-yourself videos that can help you update your bath and kitchen if your budget is limited. If you have broken or worn-out hardware, it’s best to replace the entire set. If you can find matching pieces, you can paint the old and new to match. You can buy in bulk to save money at the home improvement stores, or on line.
LET THERE BE LIGHT
Whether natural or artificial, bringing in light is one of the most effective ways to show off your home.
