Whether you’re trying to sell your house or you want to feel like you just bought it, there are several things you can do that don’t involve a sledge hammer or a five-figure budget. Interior painting is a great place to start; here are three other simple ways to inject new life into your home.

3 Simple Ways to Make Your Home Feel New

1. Wallpaper Removal Is Priority Number One

There are many things that can make a house feel out of date, but wallpaper is in a league of its own. It’s often possible to make something out-of-date seem quaint or charmingly anachronistic, but sometimes that wallpaper just has to go. If you have wallpaper anywhere in your house, it’s time for it to go.

2. Your Popcorn Might Be Stale

Popcorn ceilings create a look that has not aged well. You probably don’t spend a lot of time staring directly at your ceiling, but it’s almost always in your peripheral. You might be surprised how much of a difference popcorn ceiling removal can make. It’s important to hire a specially-licensed professional for this job, however, as there may be asbestos lurking within.

3. Don’t Let Your Mat Do All the Welcoming

We think so much about our home’s exterior and interior, it’s easy to overlook the passage between the two. A front door sets the mood for what’s beyond it before you’ve even stepped inside. Buying a new door or re-painting the one you already have can go a long way—it could even change the way you see your own home to enter it through a new door.
