A coat of dark paint on the focus wall can drastically change the way your space looks. The other options? Go quirky! Paint the doors and the window frames in complementary colors.
Rather than going for a uniform color, opt for a couple of shades from the same color family. That old cabinet that does nothing for your decor? A splash of paint will make it a desirable addition to your home. Well, you get the point. This is a great beginning!
Idea Three: Shopping is fun
Yes, shopping for new furniture is a lot of fun. But if you have a tight budget, you can enjoy a ‘shopping’ spree in your home. Make a list of all the furniture items you have. Give each of them a once over and decide how best to change the look of your piece. f it’s a couch, you probably need new fabric to get a brand new sofa for half the cost. Wooden furniture items can be repolished or painted, depending on the requirements.
Idea Four: Spruce up your curtains
Buying curtains can be expensive. The cost of replacing all the curtains in your home can burn a hole in your pocket. These amazing makeover ideas for your curtains can work wonders and help you save money while also giving your house a makeover!
