Looking for ways to give your home a facelift without spending a ton of money in the process? Well, despite what you may think, it really is possible. There are many ideas that will freshen up the look of your home, and not only are they cheap, but are fun and easy too!
1. Paint! Most people get tired of looking at the same colour day after day, and are looking for a simple change that will drastically alter the interior. The great thing about adding a fresh coat of paint is that it will brighten the space, and it is a great way to let your creative side out. Use the colour scheme of your furniture and pick a colour that will compliment it. Another great idea is painting three walls one neutral colour, and using a bolder colour for the remaining wall. However you decide to do it, you will see amazing results from a fresh coat of paint.
2. Clean the Carpet! We would all like to re-carpet our entire home, but sometimes that is just not financially feasible, so we move on to the next project. By simply having a professional carpet cleaning company come in, you will see that freshly cleaned carpets will do wonders for the rest of the room. Even if there are some stubborn stains that are permanent, you can move furniture or buy inexpensive throw rugs to cover them up. Now you not only have a clean carpet, but also have a new furniture setup.
3. Change the Bathroom! We use it every day, and it is really easy to get tired of looking at the same shower curtain, bath rug, and faucet fixtures. The great thing about remodelling your bathroom is that there are many ideas that are very cheap and easy, but will give it a whole new look. Looking to change your bathroom floor tiles? Believe it or not, this can be done on a budget. There are many places that offer quality peel and stick tiles that are inexpensive and easy to apply. Couple in new faucet fixtures and a new shower curtain, and you have completely changed the look of your bathroom without breaking your budget.
4. Don’t forget the kitchen! For most families, the kitchen is the busiest room in the house. It is where we gather to eat and socialize, and because of that is most often the room that gets remodelled the most. Let your kitchen be a reflection of your own personal tastes. Pick a colour theme and go with it. If you are not able to replace all of your cabinets, there is always the option of taking your existing cabinet faces and re-staining them. Replace the cabinet handles and the old cabinets will look brand new.
5. Fresh lighting! This is another one of those projects that is often overlooked, mostly because no one really thinks it will make much of a difference. Take your boring light fixtures and replace them with a budget friendly chandelier. There are also many different options that you can add with accent lighting. A new lamp will brighten your space and offer just enough change to make a difference in the overall look.
No matter what you decide to do, keep in mind that even small ideas can create big results. A fresh look on a small budget is no problem when you consider all of the little things you could do.
