7 Quick And Easy Ways To Refresh Your Home On a Budget


At one time or another, most of us have experienced the feeling of looking around our home and no longer being satisfied or inspired by its interior. Maybe you tried a few trends that don’t look quite as fresh as they once did or perhaps the wall color you once loved now feels drab or outdated.
Regardless of your reasons, it’s nearly inevitable that at some point you’ll feel ready to refresh your home with new and inspiring updates. However, sometimes our budgets aren’t quite as big as our motivations for change.
Fortunately, there are quite a few interior updates you can apply that will make a big difference while costing very little time or money on your part. If you’re ready to fall in love with your home all over again, be sure to add the following interior updates to your to-do list.

And your options for this are both endless and affordable. You can add trendy brass pulls and a matching faucet. You can add patterned ceramic knobs in lieu of standard pulls; or, you can mix and match your metals to add layers of visual intrigue. The possibilities are endless.

2. Add A Statement Wall - A statement wall is a great way to make a major change without spending much time or effort to do it.

4. Swap Out Your Throw Pillows - Throw pillows are basically makeup for your living room—you can switch and swap them depending on your mood and the season, and the effect is nothing short of transformative. If your space is feeling a little dull, consider adding a few pillows in vibrant colors to bring more uplifting vibes. And if you’re moving toward a boho aesthetic, then adding pillows featuring organic hues and textures.

5. Bring In A New Rug - Rugs have a special ability to add warmth and definition to the spaces they’re in. So, if you’re looking to redefine your space, there’s no better way to do it than with a new area rug.
Of course the colors and patterns of the rug you choose are important, but the placement of your rug makes an impact as well. 

6. Give Love To Your Walls - A statement wall isn’t the only way your walls can help you revive your space; your walls are brimming with refreshing possibilities. You can artfully arrange a few floating shelves to showcase some of your favorite knick knacks, add a big piece of statement art, or create a chic and sophisticated gallery wall. 

7. Change Up Your Bedding - Your bed is essentially the centerpiece of your bedroom. Therefore, if you’re looking to bring some more life to your bedroom design, then there’s no better way to do it than by updating your bedding.
