One of the easiest ways to instantly update a room without spending a lot of time or money is
by swapping out the floor register covers throughout your home. Do you have old or beat up
register covers? They make so many amazing and interesting register covers these days! When
we bought our house, the register covers were the originally dark brown and very basic covers.
We opted to switch them out for a brushed nickel finish and interesting pattern and let me tell
you it made all the difference! The register cover options are endless! They make multiple
finishes and patterns to add a touch of style in any room. The best part about this swap is that it
literally takes minutes to accomplish, which is the best kind of project! When selecting a finish
for the register, I’d consider matching the color of your flooring as closely as possible or for a
consistent look throughout you could match the door hardware or another standard finish you
have throughout your home. They are a relatively standard size across the board but I would
double check the measurements of your existing registers just to be sure. I love the look of ours
and although they blend in quite nicely it is a wonderful extra touch that goes a long way not
only in the look of the room but also the functionality (no bent up grates and the vents open
and close easily). This is a great project if you’re looking for a quick change that you can do
yourself! Check out some of my favorite floor registers on my Pinterest!

Let’s talk about ceiling fans. This is a great option for updating a home that can be a very simple swap. Ceiling fans are such a functional piece in a home that can help circulate air but may also be a sole source of lighting in a bedroom or living room. I often see clients with outdated ceiling fans and there are so many options these days that are much more streamlined and provide many options when it comes to lighting levels, blade speed and remotes to make turning on the fan so effortless. If you already have a ceiling fan in place and just want to swap out the fixture, it is a pretty straightforward change because the electrical and bracket to support the fixture is already in place. If you are wanting to change a flush mount fixture or other light fixture to a ceiling fan, it can be a little more complicated. While the electrical could already be in place an additional support bracket may be required. Light fixtures can be such a simple upgrade in your home and ceiling fans have the additional functionality to completely transform a space. Check out my Pinterest page for my favorite ceiling fan options.

Are you looking for more ways to update your home quickly and easily on a budget? Here’s a
If you read my last article, you may have started looking in to swapping out the door hardware
in your home. You may have also realized how many different styles and options there are
when it comes to door hardware. Options range from knobs and levers to passage, privacy and
dummy. What the heck is a dummy! Here is your guide to selecting door hardware function and
style:
When it comes to function, you have options like passage, privacy, dummy and for your exterior
door keyed or keyless. Passage hardware is generally for standard doors that go to a hallway,
basement, closet, etc. while privacy hardware is used to a space where you want to lock the
door like a bathroom or bedroom. Dummy hardware doesn’t move and you pull the door open
and closed. You can use it on double interior doors paired with a passage or privacy, these are
also good for a linen closet or pantry. For your exterior doors you may be looking at a deadbolt
paired with privacy hardware, most hardware collections now also offer a keyless option with a
code to gain entry. You can have all your exterior doors keyed alike or different depending on
your needs and situation.
Now that you have a better idea of what type of hardware to use, let’s talk about the style. As I
mentioned in my last article, the brushed nickel finish will always be timeless but in the last
couple years we have seen the matte black and brushed gold finish become more popular. The
color is of course a personal preference and may be an easy decision based on the finishes in
the rest of your home. So now you may be considering knobs versus levers, both have their
uses when it comes to having a traditional, transitional or modern style home. You can make
either a lever or knob more modern by using a square rosette (which is the back plate) paired
with a straight lever or square knob. For a more transitional look, go for a circular rosette with a
circular knob or straight lever. When I think of traditional style hardware the circular rosette
with curved lever comes to mind.
There are so many great options when it comes to door hardware. At the end of the day, door
hardware should be functional and just one of many beautiful details that make your house a
home!
