Weekends are perfect for unwinding at home but can also be for minor home improvements. Renovating your home is an incredible opportunity to refresh the energy and style of your space, even if the prospect initially seems daunting. While many perceive renovations as challenging, they don’t have to be! With a positive mindset and the right resources, you can effortlessly transform your space in just a few simple steps. Embrace the excitement of the process and empower yourself to tackle it head-on when you #DoItThisWeekend with Wilcon Depot!

Let these ideas inspire you to transform your home as a personal project or a fun-filled family activity during the weekends!

REVIVE YOUR KITCHEN SPLASHBACK

A good kitchen splashback prevents water, grease, and other messes from damaging your walls, particularly behind stoves and sinks. However, a well-designed splashback featuring our exclusive tile brands like Novabell, Saigres, Arte, and Sol Ceramica can also be used as an accent wall to elevate the overall look of your kitchen. Talk about versatility, right?

Measure your space, choose a design inspiration, and decide on materials you’ll need.
Prepare by removing old splashback tiles or materials, then clean the walls thoroughly.
Head to your nearest Wilcon Depot and choose from our wide catalog of tiles.
Cut and fit your chosen splashback material, ensuring it’s leveled and securely attached.
Consider painting your cabinets and updating your countertops as well for a cohesive look.

SPICE IT UP WITH NEW WALLPAPER

Are you thinking of painting your walls a new color, or perhaps trying out wallpaper? Today, wallpapers go beyond simple, solid colors. Brands like Heim offer a variety of patterns and textures that you can easily stick to your walls hassle-free! When installed correctly, wallpapers can surely bring a new feel to the overall look of your space. Exciting enough? Check out how easy installing wallpapers are with these steps.

Get ideas from wallpaper inspirations online and find what resonates with you best. Pinterest is an excellent site for looking for designs.
Clean the area you are going to decorate with wallpaper. Make sure that it is not grimy and that there are no existing holes or bumps that would make it uneven.
Next, head to Wilcon Depot and check out our wallpaper catalog. You can also check out our products through our online store!
Measure your walls and cut the wallpaper accordingly. When sticking it, start from the corner of your walls to ensure that it is straight.
When you finish sticking the whole wallpaper, smooth it down with a level or a ruler to remove bubbles, and then trim if any excess parts are sticking out.

REPLACE LIGHT FIXTURES FOR A BRIGHTER AMBIANCE

Lighting fixtures can make or break the atmosphere in a home. White bright lights are perfect for productivity, while yellow lighting is suitable for relaxation. Besides that, a good light fixture like Alphalux items, helps you save energy, reduce maintenance costs, and improve your home's overall quality of life.

Before you begin any work, ensure the power to the light fixture is turned off at the circuit breaker. (This prevents any risk of electric shock while you're working.)
Remove the existing light fixture cover and light bulbs. Then, unscrew and remove the mounting screws or nuts holding the fixture to the ceiling or wall. Once the screws are removed, carefully detach the wires connected to the fixture
Prepare the new light fixture by removing any packaging and assembling parts according to the manufacturer's instructions.
Connect the wires from the new fixture to the corresponding wires in the electrical box.
Once the wires are securely connected, carefully tuck them into the electrical box and test the new fixture.

INSTALL NEW KITCHEN AND BATHROOM FAUCETS

Faucets are among the most used household items. This easy plumbing task will greatly benefit your day-to-day tasks such as washing dishes in the kitchen or brushing your teeth in the bathroom. Bonus points as well if you install faucets with water-saving technologies like Grohe, Birke, and Pozzi!

Turn off the water supply to the faucet you're replacing by shutting off the water valves under the sink.
Disconnect the supply lines from the old faucet using an adjustable wrench.
Clean the area around the sink to remove any dirt or grime.
Place the new faucet into the sink's mounting holes, ensuring it's properly aligned. Use a sealant or plumber's putty to create a watertight seal between the faucet and the sink.
Reconnect the supply lines to the new faucet, ensuring they are properly tightened with a wrench. Apply the plumber's tape to the threads of the connections to prevent leaks.
