New homeowners often have a hard time finding the money that they need to make necessary repairs or desired improvements to their new homes. After all, buying the home took a great deal of savings, and many homebuyers find themselves scrambling for extra cash at closing to complete the transaction. All of this can mean that the proud new owners are left with very limited funds to paint walls, make necessary repairs, or buy new furniture for their home. Shopping with online coupons for a favorite home supply store can help to finance the repairs and improvements that they want to make.

The first step many new homeowners take after closing is to paint the house. After all, the walls are likely pockmarked from the old owner's paintings, and there may even be obvious fading around where the frames hung. High quality paint, paintbrushes, ladders, and other items necessary to refinish the home's walls can be expensive. They can use Home Depot coupons to order their new paint rollers, painters' tape and even drop cloths at a discount that will leave them enough money to buy the most important part: the paint.

A favorite way to make the kitchen into their own is to upgrade appliances or even replace the cabinets. This are incredibly expensive endeavors, though, which may mean that they need to find an interim way to make their kitchen feel like new without spending thousands of dollars. Use Lowe's coupons on the home improvement store's website to shop for hardware for their cabinets. Replacing builder's grade brass handles with chic stainless steel or chrome handles will give their kitchen a new look for a fraction of the price. Feeling ambitious? Use their Lowe's coupons to replace the cabinet hinges with coordinating stainless steel or chrome hinges.

The most expensive part of settling into their new home is going to be furnishing it. This can be especially daunting for home buyers who are moving into a much larger space than their old apartment, and as a result are left with several empty rooms. While buying furniture from expensive furniture stores can be an outrageously costly endeavor, using Walmart coupons to buy the essential pieces that they need now is one way to make their home comfortable now, while saving for the designer or antique furniture of their dreams. The new homeowners can use their Walmart coupons for everything from cabinets and a desk for their home office to a futon that will be cozy for watching television and offering to overnight guests.
