10 Tips to Help You Revamp the Look of Your Home on a Budget

Falling out of love with your home? Feeling the urge for some change but your wallet won’t let you? No problem! We have got 10 great budget friendly tips to help change the overall look and feel of your home.

Paint One Wall

Painting an entire room can be very costly. Revamp your space by painting various shapes, lines, patterns or even a mural like painting on one wall to create a focal point in the room.

Change Lamp Shades

Simply changing or updating your old lamp shades to something more bright, sleek and modern could really make an impact in your living room, bedroom or office.

Change Drapes

If you already have Venetian style blinds, a simple change in drapery is all you need. To cut costs even more, measure the length of the top the window to the floor, as well as the width across, and purchase some unique fabric from your local fabric store. Be sure to dig through the sale and clearance sections first!

Choose All Season Decor

Choose decor items that could be used throughout Spring, Summer, Fall and Winter. Browns and aquamarines are always a nice combo to have year round as well as rich yellows, fuchsias and purples.

Use PriceReel

Little Things Make a Big Difference

Decorating your tables, desks and book shelves with simple items like coasters, candle holders and decorative plates and bowls can significantly make a room pop with the right contrasting color or pattern/design. Be sure to check local garage sales, bazaars, thrift stores and bargain stores for some great cost efficient options.

Replace Door Knobs

Add some character to your home by changing the doorknob of the front door. Add a square, matte black door knob for a more modern and sleek look or a long pull handle in brass or granite, with a swirl detail for a more Victorian look.

Change Shower Curtain

The shower curtain is often the main focal point of your washroom. Choosing a bright, seasonal print curtain will easily brighten up and change the overall look of your washroom. Your local bathroom outlet store, discount or bargain store usually have a great selection of prints and colors.

Change Photos

Swapping out those dated family photos with newer ones is a simple way to change the look of your hallways. Also picking out seasonal photos, such as family Christmas photos around the Holiday Season, could really help invoke the holiday spirit.
