8 Home Improvement Projects That Can Be Done on Date Night

You might not think of home improvements as a potential activity for date night, but improving your living space is a beautiful way to spend time with someone you care about, especially true if you might be, or are, sharing this living space. Enhancing your home brings a sense of satisfaction, and you can quickly complete many improvements within a day or even a few hours. Consider some of the following:

1- Paint Your Cabinets

A fresh coat of paint livens up any place in the home, especially cabinets that might be stained or faded. Painting white cabinets or giving others a fresh stain can revitalize any room in just a few hours.

2- Decorate Your Walls

Changing your wall décor can spruce up your space quite nicely. Go on a date night shopping trip for some new wall décor and see what you can find from retailers like Hobby Lobby and Michaels, or perhaps thrift stores and garage sales.

3- Change Your Window Treatments

Old musty curtains can make an entire room, even a whole home, feel drab and uninviting. Take your date on a trip to pick out some new window treatments for the living room or bedroom and bring some new vitality to the home.

4- Create a New Walkway

Not every couple thinks of manual labor as a fantastic date night, but some love it. If you want to change some aspects of your outdoor space, laying down pavers or a new walkway from various recycled materials is one way. Find some recycled wood chips or easy-lay pavers to create a winding path to a favorite sport in the yard, such as a hammock or reading nook.

5- Replace Your Showerhead

Few people are aware that showerheads should be replaced every six to eight months. Some never replace them, but showerheads can harbor bacteria, mold, and mildew. Under constant water pressure, they often spring leaks, and if you have hard water, they can build up calcium deposits. A new showerhead is an inexpensive way to revitalize your shower.

6- Make Your Entrance Brighter

There are many ways to revitalize the entrance to your home. Add some new planters, or redo your walkway. If your concrete path or porch is looking drab, consider staining it. Add a wreath or some other decoration to your door.

7- Replace an Appliance

Is your washing machine on its last legs? Is your dishwasher about to give out? Consider replacing an outdated appliance with a newer, more energy-efficient one to add to your home's appeal. Spend time together browsing wholesale stores or shopping at appliance stores.

8- Declutter

One of the easiest and fastest ways to improve your home is to declutter. Spend time as a couple going through any old items nobody uses and creating a pile to throw away and another pile to donate to charity. Someone in need will appreciate your donation!

Tackling home improvement projects together can be a fun way to change up your date night routine and get things done around your house.
