Everyone loves a bargain, but a bargain that improves your home and how you feel when you're in it - bonus! Here's 8 things you can do on a budget.
Paint
We've already talked a lot about how painting your home improves your home's value, so read about it here.
Put up some art-work
Expensive or cheap, art-work on your walls makes a massive difference. It's cheap to take your favourite photo and make a print of it, or even to buy pre-made prints. Even material like beautiful scarves can add beauty to walls.
Lighting changes
Overhead lighting makes people look uglier. Low placed lights can not only make people look prettier, but also make rooms look prettier. Light fittings are also important - anything from heavy wrought iron to paper shades, they all influence the feel of a room. Also, change your spotlights to light up artwork on the walls, or shift furniture around to be picked up by the lighting better.
Declutter your home
Clutter-free homes look and feel better, so use these tips to declutter your home.
Wash the windows
Clean windows are as great as having clear vision - if your vision is blurred nothing looks great. Cleaning your windows gives your home much better light.
Replace tap fittings and handles
Taps and handles are everywhere in your home, so replacing them updates your whole home. Consistency can also be important - so maybe thing about making all fittings the same. Fittings are fairly cheap and easy to replace.
Clear up your cables
Cables from PC's and TV's and the many games that we all have - it's not necessary that they're strewn everywhere. Gather them up, tie them, hide them - there are lots of products on the market that help you do this, or you can simply move appliances closer to the outlet.
Clean the carpets and walls
Over time, walls and carpets get dirty and we don't always see the dirt - because it's so gradual. Having carpets professionally cleaned is cheap and easy to arrange, and wiping down the walls with sugar soap is well worth the time it takes.
