Everyone loves a well decorated home. However, Home decor is not affordable for every person. Instead of throwing out everything out of your home and replacing them with expensive replacements, it is best to do it yourself. The goal is not to change everything but to keep everything you can to make your old stuff look new.  You can also shop for second hand items instead of buying branded new stuff for a new look.

Doing it Yourself

Nearly any kind of remodeling or redecorating job is cheaper when you do it yourself instead of hiring a pro.  You can read tutorials on internet for the installation of Vinyl or hardwood flooring. Paint your house’s interiors and install a kitchen backsplash to save money. DIY will not just save money but will also make you happy.

Adjust Your Furniture

Rearrangement of your furniture can change the appearance of your room in a dramatic way. For example, if the first thing you see is the couch’s back, it will block traffic. Moving the sofa to an opposite wall will build a new focal point, improve traffic and give an interesting look to a room. Last but not the least, it will cost nothing.

You can also swap the different house pieces in your home for a new look instead of shopping for new ones. In some cases, more furniture adds for a cluttered look. Take out the unwanted furniture pieces to the different rooms or give them away in an auction to free up your space.

Many professional interior designers create beautiful spaces by rearranging already bought furniture instead of buying a brand new one.

Using Fabric

For a fresh looking home, the best way is to change colors. You can change the bed linens, curtains and pillows for a refreshing look. Add a bright color to replace the old color that you have grown tired of.

Focus on Detail
