Why is it that your house badly needs a makeover and you are not letting it have one? What saddens you when your friends suggest you to have a home renovation? Do you fear that remodeling a house is going to be hard on your budget? If you are one of those Aussies who fear that a home renovation can make one broke then this article is for you.
If someone claims that a house renovation is cheap then he is surely lying. The truth is, home renovations do cost money and they can be expensive depending upon your choices. However it is not impossible to have a budget friendly and inexpensive home renovation.В If you want to freshen up your house without spending too much, then follow our advice.
Buy second hand Items
Buying brand new items can be costly. How about getting some good conditioned second hand items? Sometimes you can find really great slightly used stuff which is in a very good quality. Especially if you want to change the furniture of your house or want to add a few more decorative items in your living room, then second hand products are the best choice. So try to keep track of public sales, auction houses, garage sales and flea markets where there is a plenty of variety from furniture to all kinds of decoration pieces.
Do it yourself projects
Replacing things like curtains, photo frames, decorative items, and crafts can give your house a refreshing look without costing you much money. And the good thing is, all these items are easily available at the second hand item stores and also in the cheap 2 dollar and 5 dollar shops. Furthermore, you don’t need to hire someone to do the job for you. These easy do-it-yourself projects are quite fun to do.
Change wallpaper or wall paint
One of the most prominent features of a house is its wall. Changing wallpaper or repainting walls can give a striking effect to the whole house. However there is one problem with it and that is, it can be really expensive to repaint or re-paper every wall. What you can do on a tight budget is refresh the walls of your main room or change the color of one wall in every room.В This would give it a new look.
Remodel your old furniture
You don’t necessarily have to buy new furniture to give a new touch to your house. A little upgrading and redecoration of what you already have can give you satisfying results. Change the sofa covers, cushion covers, and upholstery for a different look. Repaint your wooden furniture. A touch of paint can freshen it up and bring it back to life without costing you much.
Creative shelving and enhanced lighting
Shelves and lights can give a very sophisticated touch to the room. If you are looking for budget friendly home renovation ideas, then this is one of the things that you can do. Put new or renovated shelves in your house, especially in your living room. If you can’t afford to change the whole lighting system then give a special lighting effect to your house with a few lights placed strategically in every room. This can help to warm up the mood.
Look for affordable contractors
It can be pretty hard to hire a company for a home renovation job in a tight budget. However, there are still some projects which require the hands of professionals, such as wall paining, changing wall paper, furniture-repaint, etc. For such tasks seek affordable contractors in your city (such as TFA).
