How To Renovate On A Budget & Boost Your House Value

Any house or room will need renovation at a certain point in its existence. The process, however, can be costly and this is particularly the case if you are on a tight budget. If you are in a position of being on a tight budget, then you are on the right page! There are affordable ways to upgrade your home or room without breaking the bank. Read on.

Make small changes

Your place may be in a good shape, but could it use a refresher? Check the door and cupboard handles, and see whether they are old and worn out. You can make small changes to your home by changing the handles, or the curtains. It is cheap to do and something you can do yourself with your own set of tools at no cost, instead of hiring somebody else to do it for you.

Try a new color

Sometimes, all you need is to paint your home with a new color. It will be difficult – not to mention costly – to follow the latest trends, but there are choices that will gracefully change. You can go for neutral shades for that clean and modern feel.

Soft and light shades of beige, gray, and blue are great for office spaces and bedrooms. Avoid the brash and dark colors as they make the room appear smaller, but there is an exemption to this rule… You can choose to have a dark colored wall to add personality and depth to the odd room.

Change your furniture one piece at a time

The layout of your home may be fine, but there are times when the furniture will make you squirm. You can consider changing your furniture one at a time, and see what difference it makes. Purchasing furniture a piece at a time is ideal when you are on a tight budget. Never choose furniture that is on trend if your house looks a bit dated. Trends change fast, so you will want to invest in timeless, classic, and elegant pieces but remember – buyers of yoru home are not buying your furniture – THEY’RE BUYING THE HOUSE!

Clean furniture will always be a good idea. However, if your house has a theme, such as minimalist or baroque, then you can base your shopping decisions on the theme. Changing your furniture is one of the best ways to freshen up your house. Besides, there are plenty of shops out there that you can check to get cheap buys.

Give it a good scrub

Sometimes, all your house needs is a good scrub to make it look new and fresh again. Cleaning the walls and your backyard will make your home appear brand new. If you have lived in your home for many years, and it is only recently that you did some scrubbing, you may realize that your brown walls are actually white! 🙂

You can use a pressure washer to get rid of stubborn dirt and stains, particularly on the walls, bricks, and the garden. You can also ask your friends and family members to help you out. It feels great when you are freshening up a home together. Consider it as a bonding moment!
