Making Your Home Look New Again on a Budget
>> Dec 14, 2015
Home improvement can be expensive in Australia, but nowadays, many
Australian homeowners have been stretching their limited budget and being able
to carry out do-it-yourself projects in their home. If you consider DIY fixes
in your house a hobby that you enjoy doing, you must be aware of the fact that
you don’t actually have to spend hundreds of dollars just to repair or
refurbish a part of your home. While you can still actually invest on
purchasing stuff that you need to do a project you can do within a day, but you
can actually spend around $150 or less. With a touch of imagination and careful
planning, improving the interior of your home to make it look like those
newly-furbished homes has never been this convenient and affordable.
It is, therefore, worth mentioning these budget-friendly tips for
your next home improvement project. Repainting a single or multiple walls in a
room of your home is just one of the many basic home improvement tasks that can
be within a limited budget. Giving your bedroom wall a fresh coat of paint
gives your whole room a newer look as if done by new home builders. More
importantly, you get to update your walls’ appearance, especially if you see
some peeled-off portions or discolorations. Speaking of repainting, not only
should you pay attention to the walls, but also to the doors and cabinets. If
you think your home’s front door looks already old or you want to enhance its
color, you can update it by applying paint on it, either using the same color
as the original or a totally newer one. The same goes with cabinets. If your
kitchen cabinets are well within the reach of sunlight, you can actually apply
bright paint to transform them further.

If you find your staircase to be quite slippery, you don’t
actually have to buy a carpet that could cost you thousands of dollars. You can
fix this (and save a lot in doing so) by purchasing woven stair runners. In
addition to supplies, you can actually install it directly on to the staircase;
an upgrade that will help you and your family avoid horrible slips and falls
while going up or down the stairs. Visiting a garage sale in your neighborhood
or a thrift shop somewhere would be a great way to find accessories which you
can incorporate in your living room or in any part of your house. Not only are
they worth displaying, but other stuff can still be used and installed, such as
a lampshade or a lantern. Instead of installing a tile backsplash in your
kitchen, you can instead put other unconventional materials such as wallpaper
or chalkboard. There are other materials out there that are not just
functional, but are also totally inexpensive. Spice up the dining area by
installing a new fixture. But then, if you only have a limited budget, you can
actually do DIY projects, such as refurbishing an old chandelier, making a drum
shade out of available materials, and repainting the dining room’s ceiling fan.
It only takes a hundred or so dollars to make certain
customizations in your home to improve it further as long as you know how to
budget your materials and put a dose of creativity in your efforts, you get to
make your house look newer without spending too much. Now, if you really want
your home to be comparable to the sophisticated and stylish houses made by
topnotch new home builders they usually feature on TV, you can achieve it
without spending a fortune – just keep in mind the tips provided. DIY projects
are not reserved for individuals who have limited resources, but they are also
fun activities to people who want to challenge their creativity and
resourcefulness.
