Clean up
This is the first step before you introduce any changes to your home. Put every item away from the home and have it cleaned well. You will notice the home looks brighter right away. Cleaning will also give you a chance to take notice on how your household items are currently arranged. This will give you better ideas on how to choose different places to store or display your décor or how to rearrange the furniture well. We believe in minimal and therefore recommend that you should get rid of any unnecessary items in the home. This will add more space to the home and make every room look much bigger than before. Cramming in and clutter makes a home look messy. You can create space by moving furniture around.
Create natural light
It is a noble idea to go for affordable and less invasive ways of bringing light into your home. This should be done before you rearrange the framing and make a large hole in the walls of your home. To come up with a windowless way with natural light, install a light tube for instance which taps light from the roof rafter to the living room. Introducing mirrors in a position where it can reflect light can also be a great idea.
Improve efficiency, not size
Equipping and rearranging the kitchen for maximum usefulness will help you avoid demolishing some of the walls of the home to gain more space. The shelves which consume a lot of space should be replaced with cabinets drawers. The preferred height of the pull-out drawers should be 8 inches. This will create additional space where you can store canned goods and other household items.
Renovate your front door
Get the door renovated with a quality home builder. You can also choose the option of painting the door. However, by having it renovated it will impress your family members and guests. It will also increase the value of having your home sold. Since you are working on a tight budget, use a bespoke or customized model furnished with faux wood. Quality wood will increase the durability of the home.
Move to the Kitchen Tiles
Going for tiles or changing the kitchen worktop is the first focal point when having your kitchen remodelled. To avoid much and unnecessary cleaning, choose a smart worktop which is efficient and clean always. Lamination is another cost effective alternative for a worktop. Laminated tiles can give out that conspicuous image and create an impression of expensive home design. Have your windows adjacent to the kitchen to retain a constructive and airy atmosphere.
Change the Rug
Go for a bespoke model or customised rug which is cost-effective yet gives that lively and comfy feeling inside the home all through. The best option to meet all your needs would be handloom rugs. They are pocket-friendly and handmade. Also, they will definitely give your home a classy, elegant look. Feel free to select any colour, however the best colour should be that which matches with the painting of your home. Remember your garden or that little balcony. Sparing enough time for them can create a big difference to the general appearance of your home. Here you will require the do it yourself application. Start by mowing the lawn, trim the foliage around your home, get rid of the weed, and within a short span, you will notice your home already looks great. For your balcony, you can choose mats which have a grass look. Place a coffee table and some candles or a small battery-operated LED, place some planters around, add fairy lights and voilà, you are set for celebrations with money still left in the bank.
Exterior and Interior Painting
Painting might not be your main concern however a fresh coat of paint to the walls will certainly improve the initial impressions of your home. If the home happens to have walls of the weatherboard type, then all you require is a few coats of paint. If it is a brick home, then use the rendering idea to make it look great and appealing without spending much. Rendering remains the best and affordable way of enhancing the beauty of your home. To avoid having to spend for professional painters, you can opt to paint yourself. Painting is easy and requires basic knowledge on how to apply a coat to your home. You could even call in your friends and have a painting party so they can do the hard work.
Utilise traditional decorations
You can enhance the look of your home by using simple décor items such as candles. They not only improve the appeal of the home but also compensate for your lighting requirements. Besides using a set of candles, you can opt for handmade mats which are quite affordable. They will easily add value to the overall look of your home. All these ideas will help transform your home to not only look great, but help you stay within budget
