6 Easy Home Improvement Upgrades That Won't Break Your Budget

Decorating your home doesn’t have to involve spending too much money. By simply moving some things around and putting in a little elbow grease, you can give your space a fresh new look.

6 budget-friendly ideas to upgrade your home

You deserve a gorgeous home. Here are simple decorating tips that won't break your budget but will still make your house look and feel new.

Give your walls a fresh coat of paint

Sometimes all it takes to add new life to any room is by giving it a new paint job. Try going for a bold new color you haven’t tried before. If you’re not as comfortable repainting your entire room all at once, you can change the color of one wall instead to create a unique accent wall.

Update your old pieces

Cool paint jobs can also make old furniture and accessories look fresh! Try repainting your dining chairs, side tables, cabinets, or desks, or even smaller pieces like picture frames. If you have old, unused bottles and jars lying around your home, these pieces can be repurposed into flower vases or containers for bathroom essentials.
