5 Budget-Friendly Ways to Freshen Up Your Home

 

Just like your closet, your home also needs to be refreshed every once in a while. However, home décor and furniture tend to be way more expensive than clothes – it often takes a lot of cash to run out and fully redecorate one’s space. Fortunately, there are some excellent ways to spruce up your home even when you’re on a shoestring budget. Here are a few suggestions for when you’re redecorating itch strikes.

1. Paint a Wall

A fresh coat of paint is a good way of freshening up your place, and depending on the scope of your redecorating project, could be completed immediately in the afternoon or during the weekend. You can spray paint a particular design to increase the glam factor of your niche, or if you’re feeling a bit ambitious, paint a whole accent room or wall.

2. Swap Some Household Hardware

Sick of your boring switch plates and cabinet knobs? If so, switch them up with some quirky, decorative handles and hardware available in the nearest home depot in your place. These pieces often vary in price, so be sure to choose something that’s inexpensive but unique at the same time.

3. Spice Up Your Gallery Wall

Going the DIY route and displaying images from your favourite magazine is one of the best ways to freshen up your gallery wall, and eventually your entire space. You can simply hang them on the wall using a washi tape or display them using a clipboard. Have a hat or necklace you no longer use? Pin them in your gallery wall too. The possibilities are just endless when it comes to freshening up your gallery wall.

4. Add Flowers or Any Kind of Plant

Make it a habit to include purchasing fresh flowers every time you go out to buy groceries. A bouquet of flowers will likely cost you less than five dollars, and that’s already enough to brighten up your space. Air plants and succulents are a good option too, since not only are they trendy, they’re quite easy to care for as well.

5. Redesign Your Shelves

Another great way to spice up your space is to restyle your shelves by changing the items that will be displayed. Candles, pretty books and other decorative objects can all be rearranged to create a completely new look. You can simply relocate your favourite candle on your nightstand or arrange your books based on their colour.

Freshening up your space doesn’t have to cost that much. Simply putting these tips to work is already enough to update the way your home looks even if you’re redecorating on a shoestring budget.
