Looking to for some home improvement projects that provide instant satisfaction this summer? Here are some indoor projects require little time and almost zero sweat.

Update Your Kitchen Tile

In the kitchen, rid yourself of old tile and liven things up with a brand-new backsplash. Updating the backsplash could change the entire feel of the kitchen. This space features bright white tiles with a new twist.

Switch Out Light Fixtures

Toss those sad, dusty builder-grade fans out of your home, and out of your life forever. Replace them with sleek light fixtures that are better suited to your home’s individual design style. Doing so will make your home feel equal parts personal and polished.

Upgrade Your Hardware

Un-lacquered brass appliance pulls, drawer pulls and cabinet hardware come into play to finish off this striking, blonde and white kitchen design. Never underestimate the impact that carefully curated hardware has on the overall aesthetic of one’s home.

Add Wallpaper to Unexpected Spaces

If you’re a little apprehensive about taking on this project, start small by papering a tiny space in your home first. Our top picks: closet interiors, the laundry room and that barely-used powder room off the den. Recreate the magic by picking a petite place to plaster some pretty, printed wallpaper in your home.

Pretty-Up Bathroom Vanities

If your mirrors are feeling a little small and the vanity is feeling a little weathered, it’s time for an upgrade. In this bathroom, a large, wall-to-wall mirror is positioned above the vanity area and flanked by pretty sconces on either side for a luxurious finishing touch.
