6. Restore the Flooring

One of the fastest and easiest ways to revive your home is to replace the flooring. For tile floors, you can update yourself by re-gluing loose tiles and replacing damaged ones. (You can use scrap flooring to repair bad damages yourself as well.) There are so many alternative options available today, from stain-resistant carpet, to engineered wood, to eco-friendly bamboo, that you can also update your entire look to just about any style that works for you and your home.
