Everyone wants to add value to their home, but it’s the rare homeowner who has tens of thousands waiting to be spent on a kitchen remodel.

There’s some good news, however: it turns out that it’s typically the smaller, less expensive home projects that bring in the greatest ROI.

Here, then, are four easy ways to spruce up your home for less than $1,000.

Professional Lawncare

Improving your curb appeal is always a good investment, and having professional lawncare done is a quick and easy way to do exactly that.

On average, professional lawn service costs about $211, with ongoing monthly costs to maintain it. To get the most value, you should look for services that include:

• Mowing
• Edging
• Trimming
• Watering
• Fertilizing
• Basic landscaping

According to HomeLight, a professional lawn service will give you an ROI of 352%.

Installing a New Bathtub

A new bathtub can instantly give your bathroom an updated look, which can be very helpful if you’re planning on selling (as the saying goes, kitchens and bathrooms sell houses!).

If you go toward the high end of what’s available, you’ll quickly go over the $1,000 mark—however, you can easily find less-expensive options that will bring your costs in right around that number.

If your tub just needs a cosmetic upgrade, consider refinishing or reglazing it instead of installing a new one. This involves hiring a professional to sand down the tub, fill in any cracks or dents, apply several coats of primer and paint, and then finishing it with a good buffing.

Update Light Fixtures

Updating all the light fixtures in your home can quickly add up to a pretty penny, especially if you’re paying an electrician to install them (which is always a good idea!)

However, if you focus on the most important rooms in your home—typically the common spaces, like kitchen and family room, as well as the primary bedroom—you can instantly give your home a noticeable facelift for under $1,000.

Repaint Your Primary Rooms

A fresh coat of paint can work wonders for a room, and depending on the paint you choose and how big your room is, you can complete a full room for less than $200.

If you buy higher-end paint, which is typically more eco-friendly, more pigmented, and with more complex undertones, you’ll naturally run up greater costs. However, this can be a good choice if you’re only painting a single room, or if your home is on the small side.

Homeowners who are planning on selling in the near future should stick to neutrals throughout the home. Grays, beiges, and warm earthy neutral colors are typically safe bets for living spaces and bedrooms.

When it comes to colors, you can be a bit more free with them in spaces like your kitchen and bathrooms—as long as you keep them soft. Blues and greens can work well on the cool end of the spectrum; if you prefer warmer colors, go for a pale yellow or tan.

Improving your home doesn’t require projects that break the bank or take months to complete. By prioritizing well and focusing on ROI, you can add value and increase your comfort and enjoyment—whether you’re getting ready to sell, or plan to stay in your home for years to come.
