Get Ho, Ho, Holiday Ready! How To Give Your Home A Facelift In 7 Days
As much as it’s hard to believe, the holidays are approaching quickly, which means opening your doors to guests from far and wide.
It also means getting your home ready for your guests! Plus, all those tasks on the ‘honey-do’ list that still haven’t been done.
That’s where Door Gurus comes in. We provide door repairs in Edmonton. So we’re going to give a few tricks of the trade to give your home a quick facelift that you and your guests will love!
Slap on a Fresh Coat of Paint
Painting is the quickest, most cost effective way to spruce up your doors. Your mother in law's surprise visit will have her being the one surprised this year!
A new coat of paint works best for a door that is in good shape, without nicks and cracks and that opens and closes smoothly.
New paint isn’t just for your front door – it’s for all doors in your home! Painting all the interior and closet doors to match can give your home an instant pick-me-up. You can also change things by matching your interior décor or changing your colour scheme. Or you can integrate the exterior of your house inside with matching colours.
However, in the cold months of the festive season (depending on where you live) you may just want to paint all the interior doors and save the front door painting for a nicer weather day project.
Besides the doors, the casing and trim may also need some fresh paint and a thorough cleaning. These areas of the house can easily get damaged and dirty, so the new colour can make it appear updated and fresh.
Refresh Old Door Hardware
If you’re looking for a quick style change, new and modern door hardware can quickly transform the look of a room or door. Door hardware includes handles, hinges, knobs, and locks.
You can go for something sleek and elegant or a little fun and wacky. Easily incorporate your style and personality!
Perform simple door repair by replacing outdated door knobs and handles on interior and exterior doors. It’s a super quick fix, and this kind of modernization will be just the ticket for a drab and outdated door.
Invest In A New Door
Sometimes, a door is beyond repair, and it’s time to upgrade. Yes, we’re looking at you, 80s-inspired brown doors. You’ll be amazed at how much this can affect the overall appearance of your house. You’ll wish you had done it sooner!
Your exterior door may also need some work. If it’s a little saggy, limp, and downright the opposite of cheerful, we can fix it up for the festive season. We’re your gurus for the job.
