Transform with Paint

Using paint is a simple and cost-effective method to give a room a new and updated appearance. A fresh coat of paint can completely transform a space and make it feel brand new. Consider painting an accent wall or even just the trim for a subtle change, or go bold and paint the entire room a new colour (see Emma's bright and bold cottage home here for inspiration). Don't forget to shop around for deals on paint and supplies, and consider doing the painting yourself to save even more money. If you're renting and are not allowed to paint, but want to know which colours complement your magnolia walls, click here to find out.

Shop Second-Hand

You can find unique and stylish items much cheaper than brand-new items in second-hand shops. Look for items like vintage mirrors, picture frames, and decorative accessories. You can also find furniture pieces that can be easily updated with a fresh coat of paint or new upholstery. When you're shopping, try to negotiate for a lower price, and be willing to explore your options - you might just discover some amazing finds!

Add Greenery and Plants

Adding plants and greenery to your home is an affordable way to bring life and colour into any space. Not only are plants aesthetically pleasing, but they can also help purify the air and reduce stress levels. Consider getting some indoor plants in inexpensive terracotta or ceramic pots, or use natural elements like branches for an earthy look. You may even be able to find free cuttings from local parks - just make sure you have permission first!

Don't have a green thumb? Not a problem, be sure to opt for low-maintenance plants like succulents or snake plants.

Repurpose Items you Already Have

You can easily repurpose items you already have around the house to create something new. For example, an old door can be used as a headboard, an old ladder can be turned into a unique bookshelf or consider painting wooden crates and using them for storage or seating options. It is a good idea to upcycle as it helps save money so try being creative and thinking differently to find hidden gems in your home.
