There are lots of relatively simple and affordable things you can do to give your home a face lift. Your house will look better and your family will feel happier in it. As a bonus, you will also boost your home's value.

1.) Add the perfect touch with paint. A fresh coat of paint on the interior walls can work wonders.

2.) Focus on the flooring. Good, well-maintained flooring can set a positive tone for the entire interior of your home.

3.) Update the windows. Upgrade old single-pane windows with Energy Star quality windows and you'll save on energy bills plus you may qualify for a federal tax credit.

4.) Weed out bad landscaping. Remove dying plants and prune overgrown shrubs. Planting beds should be weeded, edged and mulched for a clean, crisp look. Finally, weed and fertilize the lawn.

5.) A few final exterior touches. Add color with paint to outdoor features such as window frames, decorative beams and porches. Clean external brickwork or concrete slabs.
