Design Hacks: Updating Your Hardware
In the day and age of lightning-fast internet, there isn’t much consumers can’t access within seconds. Whether it’s online shopping that appears at your door the next day, breaking news from across the world, or solving an argument over whom is correct about song lyrics, it is no surprise that we have come to expect instant results and quick fixes.
Interior design is no exception to this new expectation. Paired with our increasingly busy schedules, wanting to make changes to our homes without sacrificing time or a limited budget is a common request that is actually very possible and does not have to be messy or complicated – we promise.
One of the easiest and most inexpensive ways to revamp any room is to change out the hardware. If it is your kitchen or bathroom, that means the handles and hinges if visible on your cabinets and cupboards. If it is your bedroom, think about the dressers, end tables and even closets. If it is your home office, living room or bonus room, look at your entertainment stands, desks, console table and coffee table. Lastly, in every room, you can also freshen up your doors with this same concept.
By adding or replacing the handles, doorknobs or hinges, you can give the desired room a face lift in mere minutes.
