Today we're going to show you some ways that you can upgrade and customize your builder grade home to make it more to your taste. Take some ideas and see what you can accomplish in your home.
Kitchen
Can you believe this is the same kitchen? The new homeowners kept the layout of the kitchen intact which saves a lot of money. They installed new dark wood floors, replaced all the cabinetry, added granite countertops and new appliances. They finished it off with a subway tile backsplash and a new coat of paint. The renovated pristine white kitchen looks completely different and definitely more upscale.
This homeowner converted their builder grade upper kitchen cabinets to open shelving using a resurfacing kit. The result is bright and open.
Can you believe this upgrade?! Believe it or not, but these are the same cabinets refinished in a darker stain and with an added crown molding at the top. New flooring and lighting helps complete the look.
Bathrooms
The total transformation of this room was accomplished with very little work. A new dark stain and satin nickle hardware transformed the vanity to look more modern. A new lighting fixture, a coat of paint, and nautical decorations complete the transformation.
Simply changing out a builder grade mirror did wonders for this bathroom.
This fun upgrade was accomplished by changing out the light fixture, adding trim to the mirror, painting the cabinets a beautiful cobalt blue, and upgrading the hardware.
Staircases
What a difference removing the carpet makes. This staircase went from drab to fab with this simple change.
Again, removing carpet changes the entire look of this staircase. A dark stain applied to the rails finishes the look.
Modifying the last two steps and changing the banister gave this staircase a completely new look.
Trim and Moldings
Builder grade trim tends to be on the small and skinny side. Wide trim and detailed moldings make windows and rooms look more substantial and luxurious.
