If you have big dreams for your home but a small budget, you’ve come to the right place. We’ll give you five ideas to start you on your journey to a better looking home, but remember, home improvement is a life-long plan. Once you have a theme in place, you can slowly add elements to achieve the look, over time.
Floor rugs: One of the quickest ways to get a room looking different is to add or change a floor rug. If you don’t have one and decide to add a floor rug to your room, it can immediately give the room a cosy and comfortable look. If you change a rug, the colours can bring a different mood to your room.
Mirror: Giving your mirror a new frame, a vintage frame, can immediately amp up the mood of your room. With a beautiful new frame, you could give your mirror a new place, probably above a console table and make it an attractive corner.
Lampshade: Lamps are a great addition to a room and can look beautiful even when they’re not lit. But sometimes, when they’ve been in the same place and have worn the same lamp shade, they can get lost in a room. Renew a lamp’s glow by changing the lampshade. If the old shade still looks good, add a tassel trim.
Curtains: This is a no brainer and sometimes, you may be able to get curtains for a steal. If it’s summer, try sheer curtains in candy colours, with pretty floral prints. If winter in coming, look for thicker curtain fabrics, with a bit of sheen and trims for a luxe look.
Collectibles: A rearrangement of your collectibles can give you home a new look. Stack hard bound books on a table and a potted succulent on top of it or arrange a bronze statue with a flower vase next to it. Shells, photos and curios are ideal to place on coffee tables and console tables.
