If you strive for perfection or are growing tired of the same surroundings, refreshing your home might be the solution. But first, stop yourself from thinking it’s too expensive.  There are a few simple, affordable suggestions that will make noticeable differences to your home

Painting

Admittedly, it’s the most obvious, but we aren’t talking about just the walls here. A new coat of paint can do wonders for your floors as well. Don’t be afraid to tackle the task. You can revitalize old, wooden floors with just a little bit off effort. Bear in mind that you will also be able to afford higher quality paint in this way. Usually it would cost you 30% more if you hired a painter for the job.

A vintage entry lantern

This small, yet inexpensive detail in the form of a vintage lantern can add significant charm to your residence. There are plenty of options out there, even in the flea markets or garage sales. So, opt for the favorite one and watch your guests’ pleasant surprise.

Garden

As much as we’d all love to, hardly anyone actually finishes arranging their garden properly. If that has been your case, roll up your sleeves, clean the driveway and add some flower pots here and there. This will immediately change the overall appeal of the house.

Decorate your hallway

The hallway is the first room that you and your guests enter. Take a good look and give an honest answer. Does it really seem inviting? If the reply is no, there are plenty of things you could do. Try a new wall colour, hang a few paintings or photos or replace the old rug to ensure warmer atmosphere.

A new statement sofa

A living room is the space which is most occupied by all the family members, so you must be very careful about the enhancements you introduce. Changing just this piece of furniture is going to have a huge impact on the whole room in terms of style. Think about how it fill fit in with your new color scheme and read some tips on selecting a sofa.

Mirrors

While mirrors are usually bought with the purpose of admiring ourselves, they can also be used strictly for decorative purposes and making the room appear larger. A couple of mirrors in the right places and the space will feel more capacious and feel different.

Stairs

Usually, you can’t change their shape but what you could consider doing is buying an appealing low-cost stair runner, which will completely change the perception. You can go for different designs without having to invest too much in your new non-slip upgrade.

Art

A big painting acts as the centerpiece of every section of your home you introduce it to. It really sets the tone and mood for the space. Just by hanging one large work of art, you can even make painting the walls unnecessary (if you only wished to change the room, and not make it look clean). As for what kind of picture it is, it’s up to your taste and budget, but if you really wish to save on cash, you could do an abstract piece on canvas yourself.

Bedroom makeover

There is one simple way for your bedroom to appear brand new – simply rearrange the furniture! This will probably means you have an extra piece or two that should’ve been removed a long time ago. In case this sounds too complicated, simply change the throw pillows and buy a bedspread in a totally different color and pattern from the one you have right now.

With a couple of low budget alternatives and some DIY projects, you’ll have the feeling you’re living in an entirely new home.
