Are you having the re-decorating bug? Do you feel like doing an overhaul of part or all of your house? Is your budget holding you back from doing that? Well, not to worry because there are actually several ways that you can redo the look of your home without hurting your budget!
Check out these 5 ways to spruce up your home on a budget:
- Deep clean. When was the last time you deep cleaned your home? With a deep clean you are scrubbing all surfaces and all windows which can significantly brighten up your space. That alone may cure your re-decorating desires.
- Paint an accent wall. Head to your local paint store, or even check out the paint section at Walmart and buy a small can of pre-mixed paint (often at 50% off or more). Once you pick out your paint, head on home and choose just one accent wall in your home to paint. With a great pop of color, you can change the entire look of a home. The fact that you only spent a little bit of money and a small amount of time will only make you love it more!
- Replace window coverings. Window coverings can cost a small fortune, but they can also be quite affordable if you know where to shop. I have found some amazing deals on Amazon, but I also know that you can find some really deep discounts at stores such as Marshall’s, Ross Dress for Less and TJ Maxx.
- Switch out your bedding. I like to keep several bed sets on hand to switch it up when the seasons change so that I don’t get bored walking into my bedroom each day. It really helps fight off that re-decorating bug.
- Shop at the ReStore. You can do some remodeling for cheap! Have you ever shopped at the Habitat for Humanity ReStore? You can buy building materials for a fraction of the price and change the entire look of your home. I know someone who built an ENTIRE 3 story home out of ReStore products and spent just $30k, start to finish. He now has a home that appraises for $400k. I would say that was a good reason to shop smart!

Every year or so, we swap rooms.
The office becomes the family room. The girls swap with the boys room. We play musical chairs with furniture to create whole new spaces.
