2. Install New Vinyl Flooring
If you have old flooring that you have been wanting to replace, vinyl is an excellent option. Vinyl floors last longer than most other types of floors and look incredible when installed. While hardwood, tile, and carpet are somewhat complex to install, many people with rudimentary tools and expertise can install vinyl flooring.

3. Improve Your Home’s Temperature Retention
Many homes have poor heat retention due to bad seals around windows, doors, and vents or poor insulation in certain areas. Sealing off ducts and gaps or resealing windows and doors can make a big difference in how well your home keeps drafts out and keeps heat in, saving you money on energy. Many homes also have sections that are not properly insulated, like the attic or foundation, that could benefit from insulation being installed.
4. Freshen Up Cabinets
Cabinets throughout your home serve an important function for storage and they can be made to look extremely attractive. A new coat of paint or new hardware can make a big difference in how you feel about your living space. Many people even choose to replace the doors on their cabinets with a different texture or material.
5. Change Lighting or Plumbing Fixtures
New lighting and plumbing can make a surprising difference in how new a space feels. Outdated fixtures also tend to be less efficient, so new fixtures can save you money in the long run.
