With rising inflation, price of every products used for interior. Doing interiors is not every one’s cup of tea. But still if you are will to renovate your home with some good handy budget and don’t major changes and your home to look good. These tips might come handy for you..
1. Painting: Paint is the fastest and cheapest way to add drama to your space. You can paint your entire home or just an accent wall. You can even use stencils to make an eye popping pattern. So the next time you think your small space needs a fresh look, try adding some colour to the walls.
Shoestring Tip: Sometimes paint stores sell returned or discontinued paint at a substantially discounted price. Check your local paint store to see if this is available
2. Lighting: Lighting is critical to small spaces because it has the power to make a room feel bigger and brighter. If your space has good natural light make sure not to cover it up with bulky window treatments. Let the sun work for you. If you don’t have natural light, artificial lighting can do the trick.
Shoestring Tip: Connecting your lighting to inexpensive dimmers from the hardware store will add a level of sophistication to your space.
3. Multi Use Furniture: In a small space your furniture has to do double duty. Whether it’s a couch that turns into a bed or a desk that can be used as a side table, multi use furniture will save you space and money.
Shoestring Tip: Finding furniture from thrift store, craigslist, and other used furniture places is a great way to keep your piggy bank happy.
4. Art Work: Don’t be afraid to dress up your space with great art work. Living in a small home you have little space to begin with so you should fully utilize your wall space. Art work is a great opportunity to express your personality or to introduce a conversation starter. One large well placed art piece can anchor an entire room and set the mood for your home.
Shoestring Tip: Catalogues, calendars and magazines are great sources for art work. Can’t afford a real Van Gough? Just fame the pages of a Van Gough calendar and you’ve got 12 great pieces of art for a fraction of the price.
5. Storage, Storage and More Storage: Storage is a vital part of living in a small space. I love using decorative storage boxes in a small home because you can store all your clutter in them and still display the boxes in plain sight.
Shoestring Tip: Save your retail boxes. I use my old Tiffany and Company boxes to store stationary and I use the smaller ones for paper clips and knick-knacks.
