When it comes to home improvement and decorating, you don’t always have to have a big budget in order to make things look great. Sometimes, the most expensive ways to go about things aren’t even the best looking, so don’t give up on achieving your dream home just because you don’t have hundreds and hundreds of dollars to spend. Some people like to splash cash, but others prefer to be much savvier. If you are looking to make some positive changes in your house but don’t have to funds to really go all out, here are seven budget tips for giving your home a makeover.
- Change Your Kitchen Drawer Fronts
You don’t have call a replacement kitchen company to completely renovate your kitchen to bring some life back into it. New kitchen drawer fronts are a great way to add a new dynamic to your cooking and eating space without having to gut it and start again. You can have an entirely new colour scheme in no time at all.
- Paint One Wall
Create a statement wall of your own in your living room or bedroom by just buying one tin of paint to cover a single wall. Make sure that it is a colour that suits the one that is already there, and when it is finished it will bring a whole new level of style to the room for very little cost.
- Matching Table Lamps
A small change that you can make that can have a huge style impact on your home environment is making the effort to have all of your various table lamps be matching. It is a simple way to bring the design of each room together to make a cohesive statement.
- Update Cushions
You don’t need to go out and buy a whole new set of furniture, sometimes all it takes to liven things up is a set of new cushions or throws instead. This is a much cheaper alternative to a brand-new couch, but when done right it can have just as much of an impact.
- Build Own Headboard
You can make a bed look so much cooler and more mature with a DIY headboard, and all you need is a cut piece of MDF to design one to your own specific preferences. MDF is super cheap and stapling some attractive fabric to it to match the decor of your room is also a low-cost addition.
- Mirrors
Invest in a few more mirrors to hang around the place, as they have the double benefit of bouncing light from one place to another, and also making rooms look larger thanks to their reflective trickery.
- Artwork
No need to go to a fancy gallery to invest in art for your walls, buy a few cheap canvases and frames and create something for yourself! If you have children, make some cute memories by letting them design too.
