Forget Paint

Just make sure that you measure the existing holes beforehand to ensure your new handles fit properly. Otherwise, you could find yourself with buyers regret and a small challenge on your hands.

Use Adhesives

They're easy to install and also easy to remove without damaging your walls. This can make a fantastic addition to rental properties that don't allow you to make holes wherever you want. While you're at it, hang a few pieces of art, or even some decorative lights.  Your home is your oyster, whether you own it or not thanks to adhesive attachments.

Add Vertical Storage

And while getting a bigger home may seem like the most straightforward option, sometimes it's as simple as adding a little vertical storage. Vertical storage is practical because it doesn't take up any extra floor space, but you get all of the added convenience of an extra closet.

It's as simple as adding a few shelves wherever you need more storage, whether it's in your bathroom or in your hallway.  This can be helpful for storing more items, or even simply being a decorative area where you display books or artwork.
