There are lots of ideas you can use to give different rooms of your house a new look, without breaking the budget. Some are very simple and others can create an effect of a whole new home.
Relaxing rooms
The room where you spend the end of the evening, watching TV, or relaxing with your family at weekends, or with your friends after your dinner party, is the living room. To give this room a bit of a lift but without spending a fortune there are things you can do to spruce it up. What about borrowing items from other rooms, or in your storage, or what about simply rearranging your furniture and décor? Plants, candles and books are cheap enough to get, and a few different ones placed around your room will give it a lift. Or why not get creative and make, or paint, something yourself to stamp your own individuality on your home?
In the bedroom there are many ideas to create a new relaxing environment, with changing lampshades, bedspreads, and cushions. Though there are lots of cheap beds can be found online if you fancy a change in your bedframe and/or mattress, a company, such Bedstar, is a good place to start. They have a wealth of bed and mattress experience, with every bed imaginable to suit your needs. You can order online, and their website gives you buying guides, and great value for money.
Functional rooms
The kitchen is often seen as the hub of the home, with kids passing through, and friends socialising whilst dinner is being made. It’s relatively easy to change your lighting fixtures, with creative yet low budget ideas on in big chain furniture stores. Lots of local companies now offer to replace your cupboard doors and draws at a lot lower cost than replacing all your units, which can inject different colours or design into your kitchen. Simple techniques, such as replacing your taps or handles will give your kitchen a subtle but different look. Finally what about adding rugs or free standing units (such as a butcher’s block) to spruce up your kitchen on a budget?
A room in the house which can be both functional and relaxing is the bathroom. There are lots of subtle changes you can make, such as replacing both your old wall and floor tiles will give this space a new lease of life but can also be inexpensive. What about giving your bathroom a fresh lick of paint or changing your accessories? Or it might be as simple as having a good clear out.
