Guest Post | Re-vamping your living area does not need to involve expensive renovations. You can make a huge change in your home using easy DIY hacks that will cost nothing. Here are ten simple ways to mix things up without spending a fortune.
1. Paint an Accent Wall
A bright hue on one wall could add the ideal focal point to any space. To refresh the space, pick a vibrant colour that goes with your home décor. This project is budget-friendly enough to be tackled in a single weekend.
2. Rearrange Your Furniture
Sometimes, all it takes is looking at a room with fresh eyes. Move your furniture to free up space and give yourself more breathable room. This way, you can change how a room feels for free.
3. Pay Attention to Your Fabrics
One way to determine what can be done differently is by revisiting the fabrics you opted for in your previous decoration, as detailed in Lottoland's article. Switch your throw pillows, curtains, or rug, as they can bring in some new textures and different colours. Buying even little elements adds an expensive look to a room but saves the pocket.
4. Create DIY Artwork
Create some interesting pieces of art by using canvas, paints, and a dash of imagination. You're not only going to save money, but you'll also be able to create a one-of-a-kind décor for your walls.
5. Install New Light Fixtures
A room's mood can be affected to a large extent by lights. Swap old fixtures with fancy lamps or pendants. Luckily, thrift stores and online marketplaces offer a ton of budget deals that will put your imagination to the test.
6. Add Plants and Greenery
Having some plants in your room is one of the best ways to bring vibrancy and life into it. That aside, they also improve the air quality. If you are not very good at nurturing indoor plants, consider buying low-maintenance types. You can spray paint pots and planters to better match the colours of your room, making this an easy way to make a change in your space with very little cost.
7. Declutter and Organize
A home without clutter looks more spacious and welcoming. Spend time decluttering each room and organizing your stuff. Store whatever you can in baskets and bins labelled with what they contain, so that everything has a home to return to. This hack is zero dollars, just a little time and effort.
8. Update Cabinet Hardware
Adjust kitchen and bathroom cabinets with new hardware. Replace dated knobs and pulls with modern handles for an instant update. This small modification can make such huge difference.
9. Refresh Your Entryway
The entryway is the first impression of your home. Make it welcoming by adding a new doormat, hanging a mirror, or setting up a small table for keys and mail. These simple things can instantly greatly influence how your home looks when you look at the entrance.
10. DIY Shelving
In addition to wall shelves that can be used for storing items, floating shelves are a design statement. Well, you can make them by yourself with few simple tools and materials. Perfect for displaying books, photos and Decorative items.
Final Words
You don't need a huge budget to refresh your home—some creativity and elbow grease will do the trick. With these simple DIY hacks, you can have a fresh, rejuvenated space without spending any money on costly renovations.
