Small projects, big results
You know what they say about idle hands: They only get us into trouble, and that’s the last thing we need during a pandemic. Put your extra time and energy to good use by tackling a few home DIY projects—you know, the ones you’ve been meaning to do forever but never managed to get around to. Not only will they help you to pass the time, but some of them could increase your home’s resell value in the future.
Any update, no matter how big or small, can have a positive impact, notes Tom Kraeulter, host of the podcast The Money Pit. Some, however, offer more bang for your buck. “Projects like kitchen or bath updates, along with outdoor-living improvements, typically deliver the best ROI when it comes time to sell—sometimes upwards of 60 percent,” he says. “Plus, with COVID-19 impacting virtually every area of our lives, there’s so little we can control right now. Accomplishing even a small project creates a great deal of satisfaction that continues to grow as you enjoy the results of your labor.”
From upgrading your bathroom’s backsplash to giving your front door a fresh coat of paint, here are a few incredibly easy projects that can perk up your home. No professional experience required! Once your home is all spruced up, check out these other productive things you can do while you’re stuck inside.
