Keep your air conditioner’s filter clean. A dirty AC filter causes your air conditioner to work inefficiently and consume more energy. The unit will also run for a longer period of time. Change the filter often to save time and money.
Apply weather stripping to doors and windows to conserve energy in your home. Weatherstripping is very cheap and easy to do, it will stop cold air from coming in your home and you will save money on energy. You won’t experience drafts on cool, breezy nights, either.
Anything simple, like a lampshade, can look and be boring. Brighten up the room by making your own personal designs on your lamp shades and adding a bit of color. Using this simple tip can make your whole room appear livelier.
A quick home improvement idea is to lighten up those small, drab rooms in your home. Give the room a little light. Clean your windows, and open your blinds. Natural light will make any room feel bigger. Keep your room clutter free and paint the walls with pale colors. Suddenly, your little room will not seem cramped.
Texturing walls using drywall mud can add visual interest and cover up many blemishes. It’s easy to texture. All you need to do is use a trowel to apply the mud evenly across the wall. Then, apply your texture using whatever tool suits you. You can get good results from a sponge, a brush with hard bristles – even a plastic bag!
Try painting stripes on the walls prior to panel installation. The old wall tends to show no matter what you do when installing paneling. To start, simply measure where the panels meet. Cover that area with a strip of paint that matches the paneling, so it will be virtually invisible.
