The Winter Holidays are just around the corner and whether you're hosting a full house or simply welcoming a few close friends, the weeks leading up to the holidays are the perfect time to prep your home for guests. At HouseCalls, we believe that small updates can make a big impact—and over the coming weeks, we’ll be sharing simple, budget-friendly DIY tips to help you get your space holiday-ready.
Let’s kick things off with a project that’s quick, affordable, and surprisingly transformative: Updating Cabinet Hardware. Take a look at your kitchen and bathroom cabinets. Are the knobs and pulls outdated, scratched, or just plain boring? Swapping out old cabinet knobs and pulls is one of the easiest ways to refresh the look of a room easily.
All you need is a screwdriver and a little patience. Simply unscrew the old hardware, line up the new pieces with the existing holes, and screw them in. If you're switching from knobs to pulls (or vice versa), you may need to drill new holes, but most modern hardware is designed to fit standard spacing.
Cabinet hardware gives an instant style upgrade. These small details play a big role in the overall aesthetic of your space. Think of it like jewelry for your cabinets—whether you go for sleek matte black, warm brass, or classic brushed nickel, the right hardware can elevate your kitchen or bathroom.
This project is perfect for pre-Holiday prep because with guests coming soon, you want projects that deliver maximum impact with minimal disruption. Updating cabinet hardware checks all the boxes: it’s fast, affordable, and doesn’t require clearing out your entire kitchen or bathroom.
Stay tuned for more tips from HouseCalls as we count down to the Holiday Season. Let the holiday prep begin!
