4 ways to give your home a facelift without burning a hole in your pocket

Giving your home a much needed change or makeover is not as difficult as most of you may think. Here are some quick and handy tips, which will help you change the look and feel of your home and that too on a shoestring budget. Let us take a look at the tips to get more idea:
  • Go creative with the wallpaper: Strip off the old wallpaper and paste funky cutouts from old glossy magazines on your walls. This will make your room look fresh and appear innovative. Alternatively, you can just paint whitewash the walls and then stick cutouts creatively to serve the same purpose.

  • Redecorate: Another penny saving renovation trick for your home is to redecorate. What I mean here is that you can rearrange your furniture in all the rooms and see the obvious difference it makes. For instance, you can change the position of your king single bed, lamp tables, rugs and if possible, then even the sideboards and buffets.

  • Thrift store furniture: You can also buy furniture from a thrift store and change it to fit in your home and blend with the rest of the furniture in your home. For instance, you can buy a display storage cabinet for your study, a coffee table, a sofa, some solid timber furniture or a square dining table for your dining area. Change their upholstery or repaint them and then position them in your home. This way, you need not spend a fortune by replacing your existing furniture.

  • DIY crafts: Another very innovative way of decorating your home is to create crafts. There are endless websites with video tutorials for DIY crafts. All you have to do is to go through these sites and create some crafts for your home. For instance, you can create beautiful rugs, quilts, pillow covers, wreaths, fireplace decorations and much more, sometimes from recycled materials also. This will give an instant facelift to all your rooms without burning a hole in your pocket.
