There is no doubt about it: renovating your home is usually an expensive and lengthy undertaking.
While it is possible to carry out renovation work on a strict budget to achieve your dream home, you might not have the time to search eBay and junk shops for the perfect reclaimed Moroccan kitchen tiles, for example.
Instead, you may simply want a few minor home décor updates to refresh your home in time for your first post-COVID get-together with family and friends.
To give you some ideas, here are three quick and easy updates to refresh your home on a budget.
1. Update soft furnishings
Soft furnishings are home accessories that really help to elevate your interior décor and make a house a home, for example, cushions and throws, fancy doorknobs, and rugs.
Swapping out your soft furnishings for a few new pieces is a quick and easy way to update your entire home décor look and, thanks to a range of home furnishing stores at different price points, can be done on a budget.
For instance, you might want to invest in a few new throw cushions if your existing ones are flat and threadbare, or revamp an old chest of drawers with stylish new handles.
Just remember to keep in mind your overall design scheme and the look you want to achieve to ensure that your new soft furnishings complement your home.
2. House plants
House plants are a great way of bringing in an air of tranquillity and a touch of nature into your home.
Not only do they provide a relaxing splash of green for you to admire, but they are also instrumental in helping to clean the air by removing toxins, making for an easy breathing atmosphere in your home.
Consider the different types of indoor house plants when planning your indoor jungle.
For instance, Aralia Fabian is a compact indoor tree with glossy plate-shaped leaves that span the trunk and stems.
It would make a great centerpiece alongside aloe vera, cacti, and palm plants.
Remember to look into how to care for your plants correctly, as different house plants require different light and water levels to thrive.
3. Wall decorations
Are you tired of looking at the same artwork and photographs on your wall?
Maybe you are sick of the wall itself, grubby and discolored?
It is fortunately very easy and relatively cheap to resolve this problem.
Simply gives your walls a fresh lick of paint and swap out your wall decorations for something new.
Choose paint in a pared-back neutral shade for a clean look that really draws the emphasis to your artwork.
When it comes to choosing artwork for your walls, you could think outside the box for a display that is really interesting and eye-catching.
If you are a huge music fan, for instance, you could hang the album artwork from your favorite records.
Or, you could create a gallery wall to display beloved family photographs.
