Updating the look of your home brings new life into the space and makes your surroundings more comfortable. You don't have to invest a fortune to make your home look like new. Many of these easy home DIY projects are less than $100 and only take a weekend of your time.

Paint Your Vinyl Floors

Worn vinyl floors can make a room look dated. Rather than investing in new floor coverings — which can be expensive and require special skills to install — consider painting the floors instead. With just a couple of quarts of latex porch and floor paint, you can give your old vinyl floors a modern look.

Add Faux Windows to Your Garage Door

Windows on a garage give your home an elegant look. However, there are some drawbacks, including people looking into your garage and the cost of replacing your garage door or adding real windows to an existing door. With black outdoor paint, painter's tape and patience, you can add faux windows to your garage in a weekend.

Make Hot Pads from River Pebbles

If you love the idea of adding natural elements to your home, hot pads made from river pebbles add a nice touch. Collect smooth and flat river stones or purchase them from a craft store to ensure even sizes and hot glue them to a board. Place it on your kitchen counter to hold hot pots and pans while you're cooking.

Frame Your Television

A television hanging on a wall is functional but not very attractive. It sticks out from the wall and the cords are easily visible from the sides, making your TV room or living room appear cluttered. Adding a frame around the flat screen television gives it a cleaner and more elegant look.

Paint Your Air Vents

Your air vents might be an afterthought once you've just completed a huge home renovation or decoration project. Rather than investing in new air vents, use metallic spray paint to make them look like new. Spend some time scrubbing them clean first. One can of primer and quality metallic paint will cover 10 air vents, making them look like new for just a couple of dollars.

Plank a Wall for a Rustic Look

A plank wall is a great way to give a room a rustic look with minimal investment. It does involve measuring and cutting, but it's fairly straightforward. Fence boards are just the right size to use on the wall. Secure them with nails and adhesive, then paint, whitewash or stain the boards to give them the finished look you're going for.

Build Floating Shelves

Floating shelves are a decorative way to add storage space to virtually any room of the house — even the rooms that have limited space. This type of shelving frees up valuable space on the floor and has hidden hardware to give it a clean look. Building floating shelves is as simple as affixing the wooden planks to the wall.

Turn a Closet into an Office

You don't have to have a walk-in closet to turn a closet into another room. Remove the door(s) and the hanging rods. Install a deep shelf at desk height and two shallow shelves for storage above. You now have a workspace that doesn't take up additional space in your room. If you don't have a need for an office, this makes a great space for your vanity.

Strip Paint from Door Hardware

Homes that have had several paint jobs — especially older homes — have old layers of paint caked on the door hardware. Rather than investing in new hardware, you can bring the old antique hardware back to life. In a slow cooker, add water and a small bit of dish detergent. Drop the old hardware in and let it soak overnight on medium heat. By morning, it will look like new and be ready to go back on the doors.

Update the Kitchen Backsplash

Cutting and installing tile is a project not many people are comfortable taking on for a weekend. A backsplash can really update the look of your kitchen. Peel-and-stick gel tile sheets are a quick and easy kitchen DIY project that has a long-lasting and professional look.
