5 Easy Home Updates for Maximum Impact

Simple changes that save time, money, and effort while transforming your space.

When it comes to refreshing your home, you don’t always need a major remodel to see big results. Sometimes the smallest updates make a big difference. If you’re ready to give your space a boost without the stress of a full renovation, here are five easy home updates that deliver maximum impact.

1. Upgrade Your Cabinet Hardware

New cabinet pulls or knobs can instantly modernize your kitchen or bathroom. With countless styles, finishes, and sizes available in our store, it’s an inexpensive update that anyone can tackle in an afternoon. Whether you choose sleek matte black, warm brass, or classic brushed nickel, hardware updates can make old cabinets feel brand new.

Pair this idea with our cabinet options to see how new hardware can complement a bigger refresh.

2. Refresh Your Flooring with Rugs or Luxury Vinyl

Replacing flooring throughout your home can be an investment, but layering stylish area rugs or installing luxury vinyl planks in high-traffic areas is an affordable alternative. Rugs add warmth and texture while vinyl offers durability and a fresh look that’s easy to maintain. Both options can transform a room in just a few hours.

WoodMart’s flooring collection can give you several options that fit your style and budget.

3. Add a Pop of Color with Accent Walls

Painting an accent wall is one of the easiest ways to give a room new energy. A bold color behind your bed, in your dining room, or around your fireplace can create a focal point that ties the space together. Even if you stick with neutral tones, a fresh coat of paint instantly makes a room feel cleaner and more inviting.

Another creative way to achieve your accent wall is through the use of wall tiles or backsplashes. WoodMart offers a wide selection of ceramic, porcelain, and textured backsplashes that stick straight onto the wall and give any room that extra bit of flare.

4. Replace Interior Doors for a Fresh Look

Doors are often overlooked, but swapping out dated interior doors can elevate the overall style of your home and is relatively simple to do! From traditional panel doors to modern shaker or glass styles, new doors are a surprisingly affordable upgrade that also improves sound control and privacy.

WoodMart’s doors and windows department can get you started on what options could work for the interior of your home.

5. Brighten Up with New Lighting Fixtures

Lighting sets the tone for your entire space, and updating old fixtures is an easy way to bring in warmth and style. Swap out outdated ceiling fans, chandeliers, or vanity lights for fixtures that match your aesthetic. Even changing out bulbs to softer or warmer tones can make your home feel more inviting.

Small Updates, Big Impact

Refreshing your home doesn’t have to be complicated or expensive. Whether you swap out hardware, lay down a rug, paint a wall, replace a door, or brighten a room with new lighting, these simple updates can completely transform your space.
