If you’re looking to update a room in your home but don’t have a huge budget here are five great tips that won’t break the bank but will transform your room and inject colour style and a sense of a fresh new makeover
- Change your rug. If you have a neutral coloured room then by purchasing a rug in a strong, vibrant color and adding a couple of cushions of the same material can really make a difference to the look and feel of your room. Go retro with a burnt orange shag pile rug or a contemporary rug with funky geometric shapes to give your room instant style!
- Buy a statement print or large mirror. A mirror will give a sense of extra space to a small room and a statement print or piece of art can become a real focus and talking point for visitors.
- For the bedroom a simple change such as a new Manchester set and a new set of curtains and blinds can give you a brand new peaceful sanctuary to unwind in for very little expense
- Recover your couch and armchairs to breathe new life into your comfy couch. A good couch is like an old friend, if you look after it and keep it re-upholstered to give you many years of comfort.
- Lighting can instantly change the mood of a room. Changing your light bulbs to a softer lighting or buying a pair of chic looking lamps will make an instance difference to the atmosphere of a room.
Keeping your home up to date and refreshing your look doesn’t have to cost the earth and sometimes less is more!
