4 Affordable Renovation and Decorating Tips on a Budget

Give Your Home a Fresh Coat of Paint

Decorating tips almost always include painting your rooms a new color—but it really works. There’s nothing like changing the color on your walls to something bold and fresh. When you switch the color and rearrange the furniture, it’s almost like creating a new room without much work or money involved.

Check Out Your Local Flea Markets

If you’re decorating on a budget, you can’t beat the affordable items at thrift stores and flea markets. You can find almost anything for a reasonable price. Whether you’re looking for antique decor or retro furniture, a flea market is sure to have it.

Spend the Money on What You Use Most

When you’re renovating or redecorating, spend the money on what you really like to use. Maybe the bathroom is your room of choice. Concentrate your cash on cool fixtures, tiles, and decor. If you have the budget, installing a new spa bath would make the room your getaway.

Reorganize Your Rooms

Sometimes, all it takes is a little reorganizing to totally change the way your rooms look. Consider investing in a few storage containers to get the clutter off the tables and counters. Put things away, and use shelves to tidy up decor and other items. You’ll change a lot by rearranging a little here and there.
