Do you want to give your home a fresh new look—but don't have the time or money to hire a professional? Or maybe you're just looking for some simple, easy-to-follow ideas that won't take up too much of your time?

1) Paint your walls a fresh, new color.

Painting your walls is one of the easiest and cheapest ways to exude a new look for your home.

If a portion of your wall shows signs of aging, brushing a new coat of paint over it can be a fantastic way to brighten it up once more.

Your walls don't have to have a solid color either—you can use a paint roller to create cool patterns on your walls for a stunning striped or dotted pattern.

Seal the paint with a fresh coat of clear varnish to ensure that your walls are protected from damage. This quick trick will give your rooms an instant facelift without taking too much of your time.

2) Grow a houseplant.

Everyone loves a dash of greenery in their home, and adding a house plant is one of the simplest ways to spice up an empty corner of the living room or kitchen. Not only do they improve air quality by absorbing harmful toxins, but they also add a touch of life and personality to any room.

There are plenty of different types of plants that you can grow indoors, so finding the right one for your home all depends on your personal preferences. 

If you live somewhere fairly rural, you may even opt to bring home a plant from outside and grow it at home.

Do you want to get a plant but aren't sure what type to choose? There are some beginner-friendly plants you can cultivate, including:

• Aloe vera

• Succulents

• Cacti

• Bonsai trees

Of course, place your plant in a part of the house that receives plenty of sunlight throughout the day for optimal growth. Water them frequently too, usually once a week or every three weeks depending on the plant you choose to grow.

3) Paint new artworks to hang on walls.

Even if you don't consider yourself an artist, seeing your work of art on display in your home is an undeniably magical feeling. It’s a fun activity that can be enjoyed by parents and children alike.

Artworks don't have to be all that time-consuming to create, either. With a little bit of effort in the span of a spare afternoon, you can churn out a few new pieces to hang up in the living room or bedroom. 

All you need is some canvases, paints, brushes, and a source of inspiration—and you can add a new sense of vibrancy to your home in no time!

If you're looking to add a bit more depth, you can choose to paste other cool crafts into the canvas as well, such as stickers, tiny shells, or paper maché. 

4) Redecorate ceiling fans.

One thing we tend to overlook when decorating our homes is the ceiling fan.

Not only can they be quite unsightly and clunky in modern-style homes, but they're often tucked away in a corner of the ceiling where nobody can enjoy the full extent of their glamor.

The good news is that you don't have to call an electrician to get your fan looking its best again.

There are a couple of easy hacks you can use to leave your fan looking fresh and fan-tastic.

Just follow these simple steps:

• Add a new paint job.

• Repaint the fan blades with a new splash of color.

• Install ceiling fan covers.

• Remove the ceiling fan - and consider replacing it with a floor fan instead.

You may give your ceiling fan the same powerful appearance as a chandelier by giving it a quick makeover. All without much of a price hike at all!

5) Restyle your shelves.

What you place on your shelf tells a lot about your personality. Whether you're a plant mom, an avid figure collector, or a book hoarder, a shelf is a great way to show off your unique interests.

If you're looking for a way to switch up the look of your shelves without spending too much time or money, there are a few easy things you can do:

• Reorganize the pieces on your shelf.

• Consider adding decorative pieces such as picture frames, candles, or mugs.

• Change up the height of your shelves by stacking them on top of each other.

• Add pegs for hanging plants, vases, and artwork.

• Create a new backdrop for your shelf display.

The sky's the limit when it comes to how you can restyle your shelves, so be creative! Paint them an alluring color, line up some glass jars at the back for added depth, or get creative with objects you already have lying around.

Just like a canvas, the creativity you can put on a single shelf is practically limitless.

6) Hang and spread tapestries.

Tapestries come in a variety of different shapes, sizes, and colors, making them a perfect way to add a touch of personality to any room.

The bright, colorful design of this textured fabric may brighten up otherwise basic furniture and walls.

Tapestries can also be an inexpensive way to display a theme for a room without having to shell out hundreds of dollars for matching furniture pieces.

7) Swap your old doorknob.

Every home's aesthetic is incomplete without a doorknob. Compared to the other things mentioned in this list, you'll be gripping on the doorknob every day. Not only is a doorknob upgrade a style upgrade, but it’s also a functional one.

If you're not too thrilled with your current doorknob, or if it's seen better days, consider swapping it out for something new and prettier looking.

There are a variety of doorknob types out there, including a handleset doorknob and lever-type models, as well as various materials that can be used to make it.

Browse through online stores or your local hardware store to find the perfect fitting doorknob that matches your home's interior design.

Once you’ve gone through the installation process, you'll feel as though you've moved into a new home—just by putting in a little effort in replacing your old doorknob!
