Contractors Say These Are The Bougiest, Most Useful Home Upgrades Under $35

You don’t necessarily need any DIY skills in order to upgrade your kitchen cabinets. Justin Brown, the founder of Timber Shelves, suggests that you swap outdated pulls with modern ones — the easiest way to do this is probably these stick-on handles. The adhesive backing makes installation a total breeze — and their fashionable finish is sure to look just as good on drawers as they do with cabinets.

You don’t need to perform complicated hardwiring if you want chic lighting in your home. Under-cabinet lights are easy and elegant. “Trust me, you will get a museum-quality illumination in your closet or underneath your kitchen cabinets with these lights,” says Marc Dal Cin, licensed electrician and founder of Calibre Connect. “It's easy to install [them] because they include an ultra-strong adhesive. There are also magnetic ones, so you can simply attach them to metal surfaces, too.”

With their magnetic brackets that make for easy installation, these puck lights can transform any kitchen within just a few minutes. Their batteries deliver up to 40 days of light before they need to be recharged. And since each order includes a remote, you can even adjust their settings without getting up from the table.

Laura Smith, representing Ward Communities home builders, advises to apply a fresh coat of caulk in order to help refresh tired bathrooms and kitchens. If your DIY skills are lacking, you can opt for this roll of caulk tape. “It is one of those details that often goes unnoticed, yet the difference is immediately apparent once it has been updated,” explains Smith.

And while caulk tape may be easier to install than traditional caulk, don’t be fooled. This particular roll still creates a waterproof seal — so there’s no need to worry about it being just as effective.

Upgrading the lighting in your home doesn’t have to be difficult. According to Marc Dal Cin, licensed electrician and founder of Calibre Connect, many lights feature rechargeable batteries that make for a simple installation process. So if your home could use some stylish wall sconces? These little doves are worth a look. Their batteries deliver up to 60 days worth of light before they need to be recharged — and installation is so easy that no drilling is required.

Andrew Sciacca, VP of Operations at New Jersey Siding & Windows, Inc., recommends refreshing the paint on your window trim and sashes — in that spirit, you should probably also stop ignoring the other small spots in your home that could use touching up. Enter: these paint pens. Simply fill it with paint, and it’ll always be ready to go whenever you need to paint over a ding on your wall. Plus, the airtight chambers can keep paint fresh for up to seven years.

Just because your wall needs to have a register doesn’t mean it has to be ugly or boring. “If it’s featured due to the HVAC design, you don’t need this equipment to distract from the home’s elegance factor,” explains Jessica Lauren, Real Estate Investor at Fire Damaged House Aid. “Replace the wall registers with an elegant design and a finish that matches your room to amp up the luxury factor for minimal cost.”

This particular wall register features a stylish face, making it a bougie upgrade. The damper features a powder-coated finish to help keep it from rusting over time – and installation is as easy as simply removing your existing register, then screwing this one into its place.

Grout lines are thin, but still add up to make tiled surfaces look dirty. “Grout lines are yet another area that most people walk right past every day,” Justin Brown, founder of Timber Shelves, tells Elite Daily. The solution? “Grout pens cost approximately $8 to $12 and can cover approximately 100 linear feet,” he continues. “It takes less than an hour to do this with no tools necessary.”

Not only does this grout pen come with enough paint inside to cover up to 150 feet of grout, but the water-based formula is also suitable for use around kids and pets. The narrow tip also makes it easy to keep the paint contained to the lines.

Hanging up wall art is a great way to decorate. Though if you really want it to “pop”? “Mounting a battery-operated, [...] picture light above standard framed art instantly mimics a high-end gallery,” explains Michael Morrison, interior designer & residential design analyst. He goes on to suggest choosing lights with “adjustable color temperatures and set them to a warm 2700K, which creates an intimate, expensive ambiance.”

With the ability to adjust them between three light temperatures (daylight, warm yellow, and cool white), these picture lights are a solid pick. Their batteries deliver more than 13 hours of light before they’ll need to be recharged. Plus, the included remote makes it easy to change the settings without getting up from the couch.

Cracks in your caulk lines can make any kitchen or bathroom feel crummy. The solution? Consider adding a fresh layer. According to Laura Smith, representing Ward Communities home builders, “Fresh caulk around sinks, bathtubs, shower enclosures, and kitchen backsplashes visually revitalizes the entire room.”

Not only is this particular tube of caulk 100% waterproof, but it also dries so quickly that it can be water-ready within just 30 minutes. The formula is also mold- as well as mildew-resistant.

An abundance of water around the outside of your home can lead to foundational rot. Co-owner and president at HomeHero Roofing Andre Kazimierski advises steering water away, and this sculptural gutter diverter is a bougie way to do so. Simply add it to your downspout, and you’ll instantly be able to direct the flow of water into the lawn. Plus, the weather-resistant coating helps keep it looking good from season to season.

Not having enough outlet space in your home can be incredibly inconvenient, making it a smart upgrade. Opt for “[a] power strip and charger that plugs right into the wall,” suggests Marc Dal Cin, licensed electrician and founder of Calibre Connect. “It plugs into any standard outlet. And it gives you space to plug in six appliances while also giving you [...] ports for charging USB-powered devices.”

Not only does this particular wall charger add six outlets to your wall, but it also features three USB ports, as well one USB-C. Plus, built-in surge protection works to shield your electronics from damage in the event of an electrical spike.

That cabinet underneath your sink doesn’t have to be a jumbled mess of items. The solution? “Buy an expandable organizer,” suggests Brendan Tonks, director of Steve Bennett Plumbing. “You can get twice as much storage under your sink with this kind of organizer.” And as an added bonus, Tonks tells Elite Daily that it can also help you “spot leaks quickly without needing to move everything out first.”

With its expandable design and removable panels, this organizer can easily be adjusted to fit around the plumbing underneath your sink. The sturdy metal frame can support up to 44 pounds — and nonslip feet on the bottom work to keep it from shifting around.

Sometimes the smallest upgrades make the biggest impact — especially when it comes to your bathroom. “[Replacing] your old shower head a WaterSense-certified low-flow model that still delivers a strong spray can make your shower space feel refreshed and spa-like,” explains John Akhoian, founder at Rooter Hero Plumbing & Air, adding, “also saving you money on your water bills.”

With that in mind, this particular shower head is worth a look. It features a spot-resistant finish to help keep it looking clean between uses, as well as six adjustable spray functions: rinse, downpour, massage, and more. Hundreds of reviewers also raved about how it was “easy to install.”

Your bathroom is one of those rooms in your home that needs to look and function well in order to feel bougie. “Something like a luxury rain shower head attachment is another update that’s way better than its price,” explains Walter Nance, owner/president of Discount Drain Cleaning Las Vegas. “The wide, consistent water flow tricks your eye into thinking its high-end hardware even though it’s really just a basic swap to your existing plumbing, no renovation needed.”

Not only is this rainfall shower head undeniably bougie, but it’s also so easy to install that dozens of reviewers were able to get the job done in 15 minutes or less — no tools required. The silicone jets are less likely to clog with limescale or grime. And in the event that they do? A quick squeeze with your thumb is all it takes to clean them out.

John Akhoian, founder at Rooter Hero Plumbing & Air, suggests adding a splash guard to your faucet to help keep water from pooling around your sink top. Inspired by his advice, this stone faucet mat is a stylish option. It’s made from absorbent diatomite that soaks up water, drying within just a few short moments to help keep your sink looking clean. And, the quick-drying design makes it less likely to develop mildew over time.

Looking for easy ways to update your kitchen? “The first thing I'd look at is cabinet hardware,” explains Justin Brown, founder of Timber Shelves. “Old builder-grade handles can completely date a kitchen and swapping them out costs almost nothing.”

These particular cabinet pulls are perfectly on trend, with a simple, minimalist design that allows them to look good in just about any kitchen. They’re made from tough stainless steel that’s resistant to rust. And with eight finishes to choose from (black, champagne bronze, etc.), you shouldn’t have any trouble picking one that suits your style.

Looking for clever lighting options for your bedroom? Marc Dal Cin, licensed electrician and founder of Calibre Connect, suggests installing an under-bed light. He tells Elite Daily that they “will help you not to stumble again when you get out of bed for a midnight snack.” And while useful from a functional standpoint, Dal Cin goes on to say that “it can make your bedroom cozy, too.”

This particular under-bed light features an adhesive backing, making installation so easy. The built-in motion sensor also prevents it from turning on while you’re still in bed. And once you’ve climbed back under the covers, its timer will automatically turn it off after 40, 75, 150, or 300 seconds.

The outside of your home is the first impression you make on guests. So if you’d like to boost your curb appeal, Andre Kazimierski, co-owner and president at HomeHero Roofing, suggests installing a rain chain. “They're easy to install yourself as long as you have a ladder and basic hand tools,” he tells Elite Daily. “They turn a boring downspout into a beautiful water feature.”

With that in mind, this rain chain is adorned with bronze hummingbirds, making it stand out from the other rain chains you may have seen. The best part? It’s made from high-quality steel, with a rust-resistant finish to help keep it looking good over time.

Decluttering may just be one of the easiest, cheapest ways you can upgrade your bathroom. Brendan Tonks, director of Steve Bennett Plumbing, advises giving loitering bath products “a permanent place to hang out.” He suggests choosing “an industrial shower caddy that is made from rust-resistant stainless steel,” and that’s “generously sized.” He adds, “For a luxurious feel, buy either black or silver finish.”

With their rustproof frames and convenient hooks on the side, these shower shelves are just as functional as they are fashionable. Their adhesive wall mounts are so strong that they can easily support up to 40 pounds. And just like Tonks recommended, you can grab them in black as well as silver finishes.

Mismatched outlet plates might not seem like that big of a deal. However, according to Laura Smith, representing Ward Communities home builders, “Replacing old, yellowed, or mismatched outlet and switch plates with new ones that share a unified design is inexpensive but gives the room a polished, finished look.”

With that in mind, this pair of outlet plates is a total steal. They’re made from a high-quality zinc alloy, with an antique brass finish that gives them a luxe vibe. Matching screws also come with every order for seamless installation.

A comfortable home will always feel bougier than one that’s drafty or stale. “One thing people associate with a high-end home without realizing it is consistent comfort. You shouldn't walk past a door and suddenly feel a draft,” explains Leo Neuwirth, co-founder, Lions Heating & Air Conditioning. The solution? Neuwirth says “inexpensive weatherstripping can make a room feel more comfortable while also helping keep conditioned air inside.”

This particular roll of weatherstripping features an adhesive backing, making it easy to press right into place around your doors. The adhesive is waterproof — so there’s no need to worry about how it’ll fare when used on exteiror-facing doors. Plus, you can trim it to fit smaller spaces as needed.

Having a ton of natural light in your home isn’t necessarily all it’s cracked up to be. “Windows can provide beautiful views and natural lighting, but they can also expose you to prying eyes,” explains Jonathan Palley, CEO of Clever Tiny Homes. And if curtains don’t suit your home, fear not — Palley goes on to suggest using “window privacy film” for a “sleeker and more minimalist” look.

This roll of privacy film features a frosted finish that still allows light to shine into your home, yet prevents outsiders from being able to see inside. It can also help block the sun’s harsh rays — so don’t be surprised if you notice a slight dip in your utility bills.

You don’t need to pay for an expensive window treatment in order ot make your curtains look good. Instead, grab a pair of stylish tiebacks. “Curtain tiebacks or decorative hooks can give your windows a finished-looking touch for just a couple dollars without having to invest in a full treatment,” explains Andrew Sciacca, VP of Operations at New Jersey Siding & Windows, Inc..

With that in mind, these tiebacks feature wooden beads along their length, instantly giving any set of curtains an upscale vibe. Plus, a magnet on either end keeps them cinched together — no need to tie an actual knot.

Opting to clean a room can make a world of difference in making it look better. Though if you aren’t sure where to start? Andrew Sciacca, VP of Operations at New Jersey Siding & Windows, Inc., suggests that you focus “on areas near your windows.” He tells Elite Daily that doing so “will allow you to see a bigger impact because the windows are what people notice first when they walk into a room.”

When it comes to cleaning windows, you’ll definitely want to clean the screen as well as the glass — so take a look at this brush. The ultra-fine bristles fit through mesh, making it easy to clean with just a few simple swipes. Plus, the detachable handle lets you use it as handheld brush if preferred.

An easy change can wind up making a huge impact — like swapping round doorknobs for lever handles. “Round knobs read as builder-grade,” explains Maksim Sauchanka, kitchen & bathroom design-build specialist and owner, BMR Belmax Remodeling. “Lever handles feel more considered and are also more practical. Per-unit cost is low, and it's a swap almost anyone can do themselves with a screwdriver.”

This particular lever door handle is so easy to install that many reviewers were able to get the job in 15 minutes or less. It’s also reversible, making it suitable for right- as well as left-handed doors. Plus, a protective Microban coating works to help keep its surface clean from germs.

Not sure what upgrades you should start with in your kitchen? Consider installing under-cabinet lights. “Task lighting in a kitchen makes the space feel intentional and actually functional — not just decorative,” explains Maksim Sauchanka, kitchen and bathroom design-build specialist and owner of BMR Belmax Remodeling. “The rechargeable options especially have gotten genuinely good in the last couple years.”

Available for a teeny price, this LED strip light features an adhesive backing that makes installation so, so easy. It also plugs into any standard wall outlet — and the high-luminosity LEDs deliver excellent visibility when preparing meals.

Can’t quite tell what feels “off” about your room? It could be something incredibly small — like an outdated air register. “Replacing an old air register is a small detail that can make a room look surprisingly more finished,” explains Joseph Yehoshua, co-founder at Lions Heating & Air Conditioning. “Think of vents like switch plates or cabinet hardware; when they’re clean, modern and coordinated with the room, the entire space feels more intentional.”

With its decorative face that makes it stand out, this air register is a total steal. Installation is as easy as removing your old register, then dropping this one into its place — no need for any tools. And unlike some registers, this one features a high-impact damper box that’s resistant to rust.

Marc Dal Cin, licensed electrician and founder of Calibre Connect, suggested upgrading your outlets with a power strip or charger that plugs directly into the wall. Inspired by his advice, this outlet extender is worth a peek. It adds six outlets, two USB ports, as well as one micro-USB port to your wall. A handy shelf on top also gives you somewhere to rest gadgets while they charge — and it even features quick-charging technology to help get your electronics powered as fast as they can handle.

Your house numbers may not be the first thing you think of when updating the outside of your home. However, Laura Smith, representing Ward Communities home builders, tells Elite Daily that they’re “one of the first things guests notice, and replacing them costs very little.”

These LED house numbers are available for less than dinner out, yet the backlit appearance gives them a bougie vibe. And since they’re made from stainless steel, you won’t have to worry about them corroding over time.

If something about your room feels “off,” the solution could be as simple as changing out your light bulbs. “Swapping your existing bulbs for warmer-toned options, like this affordable four-pack, can instantly help create a cozier, more welcoming atmosphere throughout your space,” explains Mara McDonald, Home Design Expert and Brand Manager at The Designery. All four bulbs are energy-efficient LEDs, yet are designed to look like traditional Edison bulbs for an upscale vibe. And unlike some LED bulbs, these ones won’t flicker, strobe, hum, or buzz when lit.

A fresh coat of paint can make a world of difference in making your home look better. “Fresh paint on window trim and sashes costs under $35, making it one of the cheapest updates you can make,” Andrew Sciacca, VP of Operations at New Jersey Siding & Windows, Inc., tells Elite Daily. “Bright white or even a contrasting colour to your window frame can make the room seem crisp and clean, even if you don't paint any other walls.”

So if your window trim could use a little sprucing up? This can of all-in-one paint is a solid pick. It’s so thick that no priming is needed, with finishes available in matte, satin, as well as gloss. And with dozens of colors to choose from (teal, deep red, cream, etc.), you can go as bold or subtle with your look as you like.

You don’t have to shell out for expensive curtains if you want to add privacy to your windows. Instead, Jonathan Palley, CEO of Clever Tiny Homes, suggests trying out privacy film. He tells Elite Daily, “It's affordable, easy to install and remove, and much cheaper than custom window upgrades.”

This particular roll of privacy film will only set you back less than lunch out. The gorgeous pattern makes standard windows look like they’re made out of stained glass. And while it prevents outsiders from being able to see into your home, it still allows light to shine through — so homes with low amounts of nautral lighting shouldn’t feel too much darker once it’s installed.

Just because something in your home is small doesn’t mean it isn’t worth updating. Case in point? Light switch plates. “Switching out white covers for brushed nickel or matte black switch plates costs only about $3-$6 each,” Justin Brown, founder of Timber Shelves, tells Elite Daily. “When every outlet and switch in a room matches, it feels more intentional rather than just a default [...].”

These particular outlet plates come in brushed nickel as well as aged bronze finishes, both of which are sure to look much, much bougier on your walls compared to standard white plates. And since they’re made from a tough alloy steel rather than plastic, you can rest assured that they’re built to last.

Some of the most bougie upgrades can be almost invisible when you walk into the room — like swapping out your cabinet hinges with soft-closing ones. “Soft-close cabinet hinges or drawer hardware create a more substantial feel every time they're used,” says Robert D’Amato, co-founder of Nord Restoration. “The improvement is inexpensive but gives older cabinetry a more modern, custom feel.”

Luckily, this pack of 20 soft-close hinges is available for less than $30. Each one is made from sleek, rust-resistant stainless steel, with a nickel-plated finish for added durability. Plus, installation is as easy as removing your existing hinges, then screwing these ones into their place.

Your guest bathroom deserves as much love and attention as your master bathroom — especially if you like to have guests over. So if yours could use a little updating? Jessica Lauren, Real Estate Investor at Fire Damaged House Aid, suggests that you “add an upscale guest hand towel ring, hook, or small towel bar with matching paper holder to increase the look of elegance for this small room.”

With its stainless steel frame that’s resistant to rust, this towel holder is sure to look good in just about any bathroom. It comes in eight sleek finishes, including matte black, brushed gold, chrome, and more. Plus, the compact size makes it easy to fit into small spaces.

A drafty home will never feel as bougie as one that’s properly insulated. Luckily, Robert D’Amato, co-founder of Nord Restoration, has an easy fix. “Install quality weatherstripping,” he tells Elite Daily. “A small investment around exterior doors can make a home feel better maintained while reducing drafts and improving energy efficiency. It's a functional upgrade that homeowners notice every day.”

With that in mind, this roll of weatherstripping features an adhesive backing, making installation so easy. It’s suitable for use on doors and windows — and the adhesive is waterproof enough that you can even use on shower glass door bottoms to help reduce seepage if needed.

A home that smells stale will never feel as good as one filled with refreshing scents. Luckily, Brendan Tonks, director of Steve Bennett Plumbing, has a clever fix: an air freshener “that automatically releases scent according to one [...] time settings that you choose,” he tells Elite Daily.

This automatic air freshener is fully programmable, allowing you to set a schedule so that it spritzes your home regularly throughout the day. The wall-mounted design also helps save precious shelf space. And unlike some fresheners, this one is compatible with Air Wick, Glade, Lysol, as well as other refill brands.

While your kitchen sink may be the last thing you think of when brainstorming home upgrades, that doesn’t mean it doesn’t deserve a little love. “A decorative, high-quality sink strainer in a material that matches your faucets creates a sense of cohesion,” explains John Akhoian, founder at Rooter Hero Plumbing & Air. “It immediately elevates your sink area.”

This kitchen sink drain strainer is a total steal for the price. It’s made from rust-resistant stainless steel, and comes in five finishes to suit any sink: gold, copper, black, silver, as well as brushed nickel. And you can simply toss it into the dishwasher for an easy clean.

Looking for easy ways to make a stunning accent wall without drilling gallery-wall holes into it? “A beautiful alternative is installing floating picture shelves,” suggests Mara McDonald, Home Design Expert and Brand Manager at The Designery. “They allow you to display framed photos, artwork, and other treasured pieces while giving you the flexibility to easily switch them out over time.”

Mara goes on to say that “our team especially loves this black set, which offers ample room to layer frames and display the memories and pieces that make a home feel personal.” Plus, a lip on the front of both shelves helps keep your items from sliding off.

Andrew Sciacca, VP of Operations at New Jersey Siding & Windows, Inc., suggests investing in decorative hooks as a bougie way to pull your curtains back. Inspired by his advice, these hooks are made from premium iron, with a corrosion-resistant finish to help keep them looking good over time. The best part? A tiny bird perched on the end of both hooks gives them an elegant vibe.

Looks aren’t necessarily everything when it comes to having a bougie home. “A luxurious home isn’t only about how it looks, it’s about how comfortable it feels,” explains Leo Neuwirth, co-Founder, Lions Heating & Air Conditioning. “A $10 or $15 vent deflector can help direct heating or cooling where you actually want it, especially when a vent is underneath furniture or near curtains.”

These particular vent deflectors feature magnetic bases, making installation as easy as simply placing them directly onto your air vent register. You can adjust their width from 10 inches to 14 inches, making them suitable for registers of nearly any size — and their plastic frames are also shatterproof.

Still using the builder-grade lights that came with your home? Consider swapping them out with LEDs for a bougie upgrade. “Changing dated bulbs to consistent, high-quality LED bulbs with an appropriate color temperature can dramatically change how a room looks,” says Robert D’Amato, co-founder of Nord Restoration. “Warm white lighting is particularly useful for making living spaces feel more comfortable and upscale.”

Not only is this six-pack of LED bulbs available for just $10, but they also emit a soft, warm glow, making them great for setting a relaxing ambiance in living rooms as well as bedrooms. And since they’re energy-efficient, the estimated electricity cost for each bulb is only $1.08 per year.

Splashing water can leave dirty drip marks all over your sink top. John Akhoian, founder at Rooter Hero Plumbing & Air, has an easy fix. “A silicone splash guard around your faucet helps water from pooling around the fixture and on the countertop,” he tells Elite Daily. “They are inexpensive, easy to install and clean, and protect the finish on your countertops and fixtures.”

Not only is this particular splash guard available for a budget-friendly price, but it also features a snap-button closure around the faucet to help keep water from getting underneath. The self-draining design allows pooling water to flow right back into your sink. Plus, raised slats along its surface encourages air to circulate underneath your scrubbers to help them dry quickly.

It’s undeniable that some outlet plates simply look more luxe than others. Justin Brown, founder of Timber Shelves, suggests swapping standard outlet plates — this filigree wallplate takes his advice and runs with it. A seriously bougie addition to any room in your home, the antique brass finish gives it an undeniably upscale vibe, so don’t be surprised if guests ask where you bought it.

Rainwater that pools around your home can lead to foundation issues. Thankfully, co-owner and president at HomeHero Roofing Andre Kazimierski has an easy solution: rain barrels. He tells Elite Daily that adding a rain barrel underneath your downspout or rain chain is a “smart choice,” as it can help “channel water away from your home.”

This particular rain barrel holds 66 gallons and is available for a relative steal. Two rubber rings around each spigot and outflow valve help keep it from leaking, while mesh on the top works to prevent insects from making their way inside. Plus, the collapsible design helps save space when not in use.

Andre Kazimierski, co-owner and president at HomeHero Roofing, suggests creating a rain garden to direct the flow of water away from your home. This book is filled with tons of advice from creating beautiful, functional, and sustainable rain garden landscapes, to tips on managing rain where it falls. Anyone looking to create an outdoor space that’s gorgeous as well as functional is sure to get a ton of inspiration here.

Laura Smith, representing Ward Communities home builders, suggests replacing old outlet plates with new one to create a unified look throughout the room. With that in mind, this particular outlet plate comes in 11 stylish finishes, including floral, abstract, faux granite, and more. The unique finishes are sure to pop against any wall — and one reviewer even raved about how they “totally bring some glam to the room.”

Fully replacing window screens can be a real pain. Thankfully, Andrew Sciacca, VP of Operations at New Jersey Siding & Windows, Inc., has a clever alternative. “Something as simple as adding a magnetic screen or bug shield to a window can feel like a luxury,” he tells Elite Daily. “They allow you to see out of your window unhindered and they're functional, which a lot of budget renovations skip.”

Not only does this window screen feature a convenient magnetic frame, but the fiberglass mesh is also built to last. You can trim it to fit different windows as needed — and one reviewer even raved about how it’s a “game-changer!”

Rusty or dilapidated house numbers can make a huge impact when it comes to your home’s curb appeal. According to Laura Smith, representing Ward Communities home builders, “Large, modern house numbers can significantly enhance the appearance of the facade.”

So if you’d like to upgrade yours? These floating ones are a solid pick. The floating effect makes them easy to read — and their rust-resistant coating helps keep them looking good from season to season.

Jessica Lauren, Real Estate Investor at Fire Damaged House Aid, suggests updating guest bathroom with a stylish towel bar. With her advice in mind, this towel bar is a solid pick, especially for the price point. It’s made from high-quality stainless steel that’s resistant to rust — so there’s no need to worry about how it’ll hold up inside of humid bathrooms. And with five finishes to choose from (matte black, brushed gold, etc.), don’t be surprised if you’re tempted to grab more than one.

Brendan Tonks, director of Steve Bennett Plumbing, recommends using “an industrial shelf that clears up shower clutter” as an easy way to bougie up your bathroom.

With that in mind, this corner shower caddy features an adjustable tension pole, making it easy to mount in your shower without using any tools or adhesives. Plus, all four tiers swing left and right so that they can be adjusted to fit your space as needed.

Andrew Sciacca, VP of Operations at New Jersey Siding & Windows, Inc., suggests upgrading your windows by refreshing the screens. Springing off his advice, it couldn’t be easier to try out this adhesive screen. Each order comes with a roll of double-sided tape so that you can stick the screen directly around your window. And if the size isn’t quite right, you can easily trim it to fit using a standard pair of scissors.

Replacing your air registers can make a room feel cohesive — but “[if] replacing every register isn't in the budget, homeowners can [...] use an appropriate spray finish to coordinate them with the room,” suggests Joseph Yehoshua, co-founder at Lions Heating & Air Conditioning. “Matte black, white or metallic finishes can completely change the appearance of an older register.”

With that in mind, this spray paint comes in five metallic finishes, including gold, copper, dark bronze, and more. The formula is also chip-resistant as well as dry to the touch within just 60 minutes. And since it’s also rust-resistant, there’s no need to worry about how your metal register will fare over time.

You don’t necessarily need to make big, sweeping changes if you want to upgrade your home. “A simple yet impactful way to add charm to your kitchen is with a stove-side spoon rest,” explains Mara McDonald, Home Design Expert and Brand Manager at The Designery.

She goes on to recommend this particular spoon rest, telling Elite Daily that it’s “both beautiful and versatile, [and] available in a variety of colors depending on whether you want the piece to blend seamlessly into your space or provide a subtle point of contrast.” The best part? Unlike some spoon rests, this onei s made from thick, hand-polished marble — not plastic.

Upgrading your faucet can make a world of difference in making your kitchen feel bougie. Though if you need convincing? Walter Nance, owner/president of Discount Drain Cleaning Las Vegas, tells Elite Daily that “a simple aerator swap to brushed gold or matte black is one of the easiest ways to make your sink area look and feel like its from a much higher end home.”

This pull down faucet head replacement comes in five stylish finishes, including brushed gold, matte black, and more. Each order also comes with 13 adapters to help you fit it onto nearly any faucet. Plus, three spray modes (stream, spray, and dual sweep) give you options when washing dishes or rinsing ingredients.
