10 Affordable tips to transform your home
I know what it feels like when you have so many ideas and plans for your home but may not have the right budget for the things you want at a particular time. Most people often describe renovations as a progressive thing as your style may change over time. Although this may be the case, I also believe that not having an appropriate budget can also hinder you from transforming your home in the way you desire. You don’t have to spend a fortune, sometimes the simplest and most affordable touches can have the biggest impact on your space.
It is possible to have an elegant and expensive look without breaking the bank and in this post, I want to share 10 affordable tips that can help you in making steps towards designing the home you want, today!
CUSHIONS AND THROWS - updating and swapping your existing cushions and throws can add a personal touch to your space and this doesn’t require you to purchase any new furniture! You can choose particular colours and patterns that work with the colours in your home. Zara, H&M, TK Maxx, and IKEA have some unique cushions and throws that you can check out.
INDOOR PLANTS - I love having indoor plants in my living room and bedroom as it enhances the overall appearance of rooms. In addition, studies show that indoor plants have several benefits, such as boosting moods, increasing creativity, reducing stress, and eliminating air pollutants. You can either buy fresh or faux plants from IKEA, Etsy, Homebase, or Patch Plants and find affordable pots or vases to put them in.
FRAMED WALL PRINTS - framed wall prints add colour to spaces without dominating or overshadowing your main colour scheme. You can find beautiful wall prints from Desenio, Ardelle Home, Etsy, Poster Store, or you can DIY!
STORAGE AND ORGANISERS - purchasing jars, storage baskets, and shelving to manage your things and declutter your space can visually transform your space. When there’s less clutter, it gives you more room to use certain parts of your home for other things. There are several retail stores that have modern and beautifully designed organisers such as Dunelm, H&M, John Lewis, or McGee & Co.
MIRRORS - adding mirrors to your hallway, living room, bedroom, and bathroom can create the illusion of space and can maximise the lighting in your home. You can either get wall mirrors, floor mirrors, or both. No matter what you choose, you can never go wrong with having a mirror/s in your home!
WALLPAPER OR PAINTING YOUR WALLS - changing your walls can make your home look newly renovated and fresh. A fresh coat of paint is a budget-friendly way to update any room in your home and you can also make a bold statement in your home by having artistic wallpaper as a centerpiece in your living room, bedroom, or bathroom.
REARRAGING FURNITURE - this zero-cost decorating idea only requires time and creativity and we can assist you with this! Pick a room and make it feel brand new by rearranging and organising the furniture in a new layout.
CURTAINS AND BLINDS - your window coverings are an easy, inexpensive, and fun way to display your personality and style. Blinds work best for smaller windows and curtains work well with larger windows. You can use your curtains or blinds to create a focal point that is not only stunning but functional.
DECORATIVE ACCESSORIES - purchasing affordable decorative accessories that stand out can shift the mood of your space. You can add lamps, decorative boxes, coffee table books, candles, and diffusers to your console table, coffee table, and worktop. These features can elevate the look of your space and add a personal touch. You can find unique decorative accessories in second-hand and antique stores.
GIVE YOUR GARDEN OR BALCONY A MAKEOVER - just as much as the interior of your home matters, don’t forget that the exterior is just as important. You can give your whole home a facelift by transforming your front and back garden or balcony with furniture, outdoor lights, and plants.
