Budget-Friendly Ideas For Decorating Your Home Interior

Read below our low-cost, high-impact interior decorating tips so you can make the most of your home makeover budget.

Minor Updates Can Give Your Home A Stunning New Look
With the cost of living increasing, it isn’t surprising that more homeowners in the Cotswolds and the Vale of the White Horse are looking for budget-friendly home decorating solutions. The good news is that even small updates can give your home a stunning new look, and they needn’t break the bank.

Get Started With Some Dramatic Paint Tricks
If you can’t afford to buy enough paint to decorate your entire room, a small pot in a dramatic colour will suffice to make an impact. Use a bright, eye-catching colour to paint your door trims, which will refresh the entire space!

Refurbish And Reuse Soft Furnishings
Upcycling is the order of the day, and it’s a low-cost way of decorating your home. Consider reupholstering your outdated soft furnishings or repainting wood furniture in a more modern colour. Think greys, greens and eggshell colours. Not only will this save you money, but it will also allow you to add modern flair to your space.

Create A Wallpaper Feature Wall
Wallpaper adds a luxurious look to any room, but it can be costly to buy lots of rolls. Often, you can find beautiful single rolls reduced to clear in home décor stores. Pick one up and use it to create a stunning small feature wall. You’ll usually have enough paper on a single roll to wallpaper your chimney breast area or an alcove, and the result will be eye-catching.

Change Your Lamps
Switching your lamp shades is affordable and will refresh any space without costing a fortune. You can use bold, colourful, or unusually-shaped lamp shades as statement pieces in your room to add a touch of personality.

Layer Texture And Pattern With Soft Furnishings
You can create a high-end luxury finish in any room with the power of layering. Layering textures and patterns can be achieved using soft furnishings like throws and cushion covers, which are pretty, practical, and affordable home decorating solutions.

Enhance Your Space With A Mirror
Mirrors are a fantastic addition to any room, making dark, small spaces feel immediately larger and lighter. Add lighting in front of your mirrors to add a true hint of luxury to your room. The soft effect that it creates is dramatic and beautiful.

Replace Your Cabinet Hardware
If your kitchen desperately needs an update, but you can’t afford new cabinets, consider replacing the hardware. This low-cost solution creates a different look for your cabinetry without blowing your entire budget on a new kitchen.
