Cheap, clever home upgrades

Here are five goodies to transform your space without breaking the bank or demanding expert DIY skills.

  • Keep area rugs tacked down. You’ll never trip over that pesky rug again with NeverCurl corner grippers.
  • Restore wood finishes. Make tables, dressers, cupboards or whatever look new again with this handy wood polish.
  • Wireless accent lights look great. Light up a bookshelf or under the counter the easy way. Great price, too — two lights for $10.
  • Curtains to dress up your windows. Any room can look more elegant with sheer curtains, available in a ton of colors.
  • TV backlighting for a mini home theater. Create an out-of-this-world TV experience with Govee LED backlights.
