Just because your budget is feeling the pinch with rising food and energy costs doesn’t mean your style has to suffer. Ditch the big investment purchase ideas and try some simple updates that will change the look and feel of any room quickly and for a lot less than a new couch.
Five Affordable Updates to do this Weekend
- DIY Pastel Art – Freshen up your room with pastels without the big investment. Take a simple canvas from the craft store, prime it with white paint and add color. Simple and sleek.
- Industrial Retro Lighting – New light fixtures are a simple way to update a room. A local big box retailer will offer cost-effective versions of the latest trends.
- White Sofa – No need to buy a new sofa when a fresh slipcover will do; bright, clean, and easy to change when the cooler months come.
- Boho Accents – Mix up your style with some boho accents, such as a Turkish rug runner or kilim pillow.
- Add Metallic Elements – Bold accents, such as a brass side table or shiny silver vase, can perk up a room and modernize your look. Watch for unusual shapes as well to add visual interest.
Soaring inflation has put many home improvement plans on hold but your style doesn’t need to stagnate. A few simple changes will give your spirits and your home a nice lift.
Even better, if you decide to sell your home within the next year, these will make your listing that much more appealing than others.
