1. Restore stained grout on your tiled floors and walls with a grout pen that's mold-resistant and covers up to 60 meters of grout area.
2. Add a peel-and-stick subway tile backsplash to give your kitchen (or bathroom) an upgrade that doesn't require any actual tiling work.
3. Or go with a more colorful peel-and-stick faux-gel tile backsplash that's mold-, heat-, and moisture-resistant.
4. Update the showerhead and faucet in your bathroom to give yourself a mini spa experience.
5. Bring your worn-out floors back to life with a restorative Howard Products Wood Polish & Conditioner that uses beeswax to help give luster to any wood surface — floors, tables, legs...whatever!
6. Use a set of magnetic decorative hinges to give your garage door that carriage look without that carriage price — and they don't require any drilling or tools, just stick them on and bam! Instant curb appeal.
7. Create a charming accent wall with peel-and-stick wallpaper that can be easily removed when it's time to get your security deposit back.
8. Or try an investment-worthy roll of magnetic dinosaur print wallpaper that's just so dinomite.
9. Reseal all those unsightly cracks in your tub and tile by filling them up with caulk sealant to help make your bathroom look new again.

13. Swap your old cabinet and drawer handles to update your kitchen without having to do any renovations.
14. Keep your memories alive and give your home some personalization with a gallery wall kit that includes everything you need to create one — including seven frames, a hanging template, hardware, and even some pretty black-and-white prints that you can use or replace.
15. Give your old and tattered hand-me-down furniture a fun and unique coat of chalked paint — it'll provide all your pieces a soft matte, cozy look.
16. Make your tiny space seem a little bigger with perfectly placed mirrors, which will also help in your quest to capture the perfect OOTD pic for Insta.
17. Or, if it works in your space, invest in some mirrored sliding barn doors — not only are they great for small spaces because they slide out and not in, the added mirror helps with making your space look bigger.
18. Actually clean your home — including sanitizing and organizing the things that need to be, rather than just throwing all your stuff in the closet.
19. Splurge on a rug that fits perfectly in your space by following a few simple rules.
20. Update your light fixtures — it's an easy way to upgrade your home without breaking the bank (while still making it look like you did).
21. Make your bed as plush as the ones you dream of sleeping in when you're shopping at Bed Bath & Beyond with this handy guide.
22. If your space is a little too noisy, get an under-door draft stopper you can easily slide under doors or place in windows to help seal any gaps that may allow noise to travel through.
23. Or try a thick foam weatheringstripping tape designed specifically to help you weather-, dust-, and sound-proof your windows.
24. Easily install a set of flame-retardant socket sealers designed to stop the cold air from leaking into your house and messing with your warm and cozy home.
25. Erase all those tiny holes in your wall with a bottle of very handy drywall repair putty you apply in a small circular motion before painting over it.
26. For under $20 you can convert your recess lighting into pendant lighting using a simple conversion kit — super-gorgeous lights you get to pick out based on your taste and preferences not included.
27. Or you can upgrade your recess lighting with easy-to-install medallions to help add a little character.
28. Get the appliances you've always wanted for a fraction of the price with a liquid stainless-steel fridge kit that'll help transform your giant icebox.
29. Give your house the perfect red lip by painting your front door a rich red color (or any color!).
30. And cover door scuffs and prevent new damage with a metal kick plate.
31. Bulk up your baseboards with paint and extra trim instead of replacing them.
32. Paint your cabinets to give your kitchen that just-remodeled feeling for pennies versus what it would cost to replace them.
33. Install a set of 3-D printed KitchenAid Tool holders you attach to the bottom of your cabinets or shelves to finally give you a place to store all those bulky tools.
34. If you really want to step up your cabinet game, invest in an organizer for your cabinets specifically designed to hold all your storage containers — it's basically like building a house for them!
35. And while you're at it a wooden peg board insert for your cabinet drawers will let you secure your dishes in an organized, safe, and completely efficient manner.
36. You can install nickel-plated soft-close hinges to give even your older-than-old cabinets a sturdy and gentle feel.
37. Add molding on top of cabinets to give them that built-in, custom-made look.
38. Speaking of cabinets, make yours look super fancy by installing Alexa and Google Home voice-controlled LED Lights that can shine in up to 20 color options.
39. Update light switches to solar-programmable switches to help give your home a fresh look and a tech upgrade.
40. Get some serious curb appeal by sanding down and painting rusted railings.
41. Convert any nook, cranny, or shabby closet into an organized oasis without having to drill a single hole — by securing an adjustable clothing rack that suctions onto your floor and ceiling.
42. You can also upgrade your old counters or tabletops with vinyl wrap film — a temporary solution that'll last a long time and won't cost a small fortune.
43. Create your own art and have something unique to cover your walls in with old wooden skateboard — okay, hear me out. Skateboard art is all the rage. Bright beautifully decorated boards, with a small piece of fishing wire wrapped through the holes, hang perfectly on your wall but they're also SUPER expensive per board (like hundreds of dollars, see example below). So, what if you bought a set of boards and painted/decorated them yourself? You could create one really intricate board that hangs perfectly on a pillar or small corner or an epic collage with all of them!
44. Consider these useful tips for upgrading your bathroom.
45. Like investing in an updated vanity for your bathroom that'll give you just enough storage and a really modern look.
46. Add a fresh coat of paint to get that pop of color (or to get rid of it) and give your home a touchup without costing you a fortune.
47. And since you're painting, a package of insulating additive can — when mixed with your paint — help reduce heating and cooling expenses and deaden noise.
Now we said we wouldn't need help for these improvements, but we'd make some exceptions.
