Wanting to make some improvements to your home can be an incredibly stressful and expensive time in your life. If you’re lucky enough that money is no issue you’re set! But if like me you have a tight budget then you may be worried that you won’t be able to achieve the dream house you’ve always dreamed of owning. However, don’t worry because there are many clever ways you can have everything you dreamed of and more without having to break the bank. By focusing on these 4 tips you will see massive improvements in your homes decor while also increasing your overall value of your home.

Get new lighting

Updating the lighting around your home with some new quality lights can be one of the easier ways you can revamp your house and give it a completely different feel. Lighting is the most important part of setting the mood, creating your own personal style and can help you bring attention to key features in your rooms. If you want to update your lighting find a clever way to place them as this may lead to house actually appearing much bigger, and who doesn’t want more space! Or even just the illusion of more space.

Create a feature wall

A feature wall in any room of your house will make everything pop and draw in attention to a specific section of your room, usually this has been reserved for front rooms, but creating a feature wall in rooms like the kitchen has now been made easy; you can add an acrylic splashback to a wall to draw the eye to it. As well as giving you new design opportunities companies like Cut My Plastic offer a wide range of colours, styles and offer a service of cutting it down to any shape or size. So adding that feature wall doesn’t have to be expensive and you can get it tailored to what you want!

Repaint everywhere

If you want a change but don’t have enough money to make any drastic changes repainting your most important rooms is a great way to get that new house feeling. Change the colour in your living room, bed room and kitchen and you’ll basically have a whole new vibe to your house. Repainting is relatively cheap and you can even do it yourself. Make it into a family day and enjoy painting your home as a family. Choose whatever colours of paint you like, its your space and you can create whatever vibe you want!

DIY furniture

Reupholstering furniture such as sofas, armchairs or even cushions can be a relatively low-cost home improvement. Chose some nice fabric and do it yourself even. There are many tutorials online which can help you figure it out! You’ll feel super accomplished and can proudly show off your new DIY furniture to all your friends.

So that’s our guide to spruce up your home without having to smash your piggy bank! Hopefully these can help you turn your house into a genuine dream home!
