Home Depot Offers Budget-Friendly Upgrades for Under $150
The Home Depot offers several affordable DIY home upgrades that can make a significant impact on your living space without breaking the bank. These upgrades range from hardware to lighting and are priced under $150, making them accessible to homeowners with limited budgets.
One option is replacing door knobs, which can be done in bulk for just $7.06 per unit. The Defiant bed/bath door knobs come in a six-pack and have a satin nickel finish that fits standard left- or right-handed doors.
Another upgrade is adding under-cabinet lighting with the Black + Decker LED voice-enabled smart kit, which works with Alexa app or voice commands and installs without tools. This adjustable white light can help illuminate dark countertop areas and provide softer lighting in the kitchen at night.
For those looking to update their kitchen backsplash, Art3d's Peel-and-Stick Vinyl Subway Backsplash Tile is a budget-friendly option that covers 10 square feet per package and withstands heat and humidity. This upgrade can be completed for under $150, depending on the size of your kitchen.
Smart thermostats are another affordable option, with the Honeywell Home T5 7-day smart Wi-Fi thermostat allowing homeowners to create a heating and cooling schedule or use geofencing to adjust the temperature based on their daily routine. According to Energy Star, certified smart thermostats save the average household about 8% on heating and cooling bills.
Finally, replacing an old ceiling light with a new one can make a big difference in the overall look of a room. The Home Decorators Collection Pompton semi-flush light fixture is available for around $50 and features a gold finish with white ribbed glass that can be used in bedrooms, kitchens, dining rooms or entryways.
