Redecorating your home doesn’t need to cost an arm and a leg. There are small changes that you can make to make your home look fresh and new. This article outlines 6 things that you can do to redecorate your home even if your budget is small.
1. Declutter
Over time we all collect things that just sit around our house for years and years. Our tastes in décor change now and again, but sometimes it’s hard to get rid of things for that reason alone. If you want to redecorate and you’re on a budget, decluttering is the perfect place to start. Donate or sell items that are no longer your style. Once these items are gone you can begin decorating with your own tastes.
2. Paint
Painting is a cheap way to change the look of any room. It’s not only the walls you should think about painting though. You can also paint old furniture instead of getting rid of things and buying new ones. You might have to sand furniture before you paint it, but that is still much cheaper than buying brand new pieces. Many people have hand-me-down furniture that isn’t easy to let go of. If you paint it, you don’t have to.
3. Make your own art
Art on the walls can really brighten up any living space. Buying art can be very expensive. If you cannot afford to buy new art that appeals to you, the next best thing would be to create your own art. You can purchase canvas cheaply at a dollar store. Many carry larger sized ones that are perfect for making your own art. There are many DIY ideas for art online that you can get ideas from. And because you’re making the art yourself you know it’s one of a kind!
4. Recover couches Recovering couches and chairs is a great way to change your furniture without having to purchase new pieces. You can pick the colour to match your current tastes and match your redecorated home. You don’t have to get rid of the couches that you spent years breaking in and making comfy.
5. Put your sewing skills to use
Instead of purchasing new decorative pillows, pillow cases, or comforters, you can put your sewing skills to use and make them yourself. Pillow cases are very easy to sew. You can also make covers for your decorative pillows and even for your comforter. You can find DIY lessons on sewing online. It’s much easier and cheaper to make covers than to replace the items.
6. Rearrange furniture
This sounds very simple and it is, but the difference it can make to the look of your home is amazing. You get so used to things being a certain way that you don’t imagine they could work any other way. Try moving your furniture around to give any room a new look. You’ll be pleasantly surprised.
Remember that redecorating doesn’t have to mean buying new things. Redecorating means giving a room or a home a new look. It doesn’t take a lot of money to change the look and feel of your home.
