Home Improvement Projects to Tackle While Stuck Indoors

As everyone is stuck inside to protect themselves and others during the COVID-19 pandemic, this could be an ideal time to tackle some of those home improvement and maintenance projects. You don’t need to spend a fortune on these projects either! Here are a few simple projects to get you motivated…

  1. Caulk your bathtub or shower: Over time, the seal around your tub or shower can wear and crack, allowing moisture to pool inside, which creates a perfect environment for mold. Caulk any areas you see this happening.
  2. Patch any holes: Take time to patch up any holes in the walls from previous wall decor. A small container of joint compound will go a long way!
  3. Give rooms a fresh coat of paint: Painting is one of those projects that can make a big impact on the look and feel of your home. A neutral color, like an off-white or tan can brighten up your entire house and make everything look cleaner and neater.
  4. Update your cabinet hardware: Give your kitchen or bathroom a simple facelift with new hardware. Once you select your new hardware, you will just need a screwdriver!
  5. Change out lighting on both the exterior and interior of your home: Swap out tired, old light fixtures and keep your home looking bright and beautiful!
  6. Keep your lawn and landscape looking beautiful: Give your lawn a fresh cut and add some color to your landscape! Get rid of all the dead stuff.
  7. Pressure wash your house and walkways: Get rid of all the dirt & grime, it will make all the difference!
  8. Shampoo your rugs: Now is the time to move your furniture out of the way and give your rugs a good cleaning. If you don’t have a carpet cleaner, rent one from a home improvement store.
  9. Clean out your garage: You will thank yourself next time you go to get that tool from the back corner and you don’t have to trip over a pile of junk first!
  10. Replace your furnace filter: Extend the life of your system and keep your costs down by replacing its filter! This also helps with better air quality.

For the unavoidable days of being stuck inside, working on these projects and updates is the perfect way to elevate your mood. There are only so many walks you can take and batches of cookies you can bake until you start going stir crazy! Whether you select one or two of these projects or tackle the entire list, you will be very impressed with your own handiwork!
