Cost Effective Ways to Make Home Look New & Warm

You remember the excitement of moving into a new home? That's really pleasant to see everything new in a home. But enthusiasm may soon disappear when we are forced to face the same surroundings every day at home. Those new furniture, lighting fixtures or items that once were nice become just tired and dull over time. Usually, it costs too much to get a new look by updating the furniture or other home items for a new look and the budget is what the average family fail to afford. Here are some cost effective ways to bring in new life into a otherwise dull looking home.

Add Some Decorative Lights for Warmth & Glow

There are few things that can effectively and instantly change the ambiance of a room or an area like lighting. Make sure the rooms have enough windows so that we can let a lot of sunshine for warming the room. Add some decorative lights such as lamps, wall scones, LED lights, etc to change the layout of the space and make it diversified. For example, we can light up Christmas light tree even when it is not Christmas in those corners that were murky or inhospitable.

Place a nice-looking bonsai light on the table to make the home office more inviting. Spruce up the kids’ room with string lights to make it a dreamy room. Get some innovative lights in the living room or other places that just inspire creativity. Or even DIY lights to save more while making home look more different.



Proper Use of Color in Rooms

One of the most inexpensive and easiest ways for a big change to our rooms is the proper use of color. It is magical that a fresh lick of paint can transfer a room into something totally different. We can change the color of our wall or choose a feature wall where we can add some pretty colorful accessories, especially the wall in kids’ room. We can make a change of the art on the wall and make it a focal point of a whole space. Once the color of the wall is changed or the color change of an area is highlighted, eye can be drawn away from other pieces which need to be changed yet the cost of which may be beyond us.

Change Some of Furniture

If some of the furniture have be outdated and even affect the whole look of the house, we need to make a change. We do not necessarily need to go to furniture store for those high priced furniture such as sofa or table. We can search online for some gently used furniture at rather affordable price which can surely bring a change to our house. Sometimes, we need to get some innovative furniture or decorations such as a nice bean bag that can bring some freshness.

Maximize the Space

When space is a problem, consider making up for more space by either clearing up the clutter or investing in some multi-functional pieces. Just better organize the items or even throw away some useless items. Get some nice storage furniture for better storing items. Anyway, a nicely organized room looks pleasant and it will cost little to better organize our rooms.
