interior modern KV Harper has been there. As the founder and principal of KEX Design + Build, she\u2019s worked with clients <\/p>\n\n\n\n
all over the country to turn houses into forever homes (not to mention her own space in New Orleans\u2019 Seventh Ward).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Harper got her start in set design, and her firm works on renovation and design projects of all shapes and sizes<\/p>\n\n\n\n
, from taking a kitchen down to the studs to choosing tabletop accessories that will give a dining room new life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Whether you want a cosmetic upgrade that will make your backyard snapshot-ready or to turn a bathroom into your own<\/p>\n\n\n\n
personal spa escape, Harper has shared ideas below for any budget.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It’s also a good plan to start with smaller projects, which can be the ideal jumping off point. One option, says Harper, <\/p>\n\n\n\n
is to change up the look of the kitchen without doing a full renovation. \u201cI actually did this myself,\u201d she says. \u201cI re-tiled my kitchen <\/p>\n\n\n\n
backsplash and then changed up some countertops. So, not a full kitchen renovation but enough to really see a noticeable difference.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n
If you\u2019ve been dragging the same bookcases around since college, investing in custom shelving can also be a great project<\/p>\n\n\n\n
that won\u2019t cost a ton of cash (or turn your home into a construction zone). According to HomeAdvisor, the cost for adding <\/p>\n\n\n\n
built-in bookshelves and goes up from there, depending on material, size, and labor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cIn this price range, I love new flooring,\u201d she says. \u201cIf you currently have carpet or old, outdated flooring, <\/p>\n\n\n\n
with that budget I think you could make a big impact.\u201d And feel free to switch up the flooring in each room<\/p>\n\n\n\n
