- Change the Lighting
Lighting is one of the many ways through which you can express yourself. Most bulbs start fading and dimming out after 6 months. To avoid that dull feeling in your house, replace the old bulbs with some new ones and bring back some life. Even as you do that, you can go with the latest and advanced lighting system like the themed and LED light.
- Replace Cheap Accessories
The house is full of cheap accessories that can be replaced with some new expensive ones and achieve that new fresh look in the house. Some accessories like window curtains, shower curtains, seat cushions and pillows, beddings, and doormats can be replaced with some new expensive ones. Alternatively, you can replace old and dull water taps; doorknobs and faucets with new chrome ones. They may not seem or sound much but they go a long way in achieving a new fresh look in the house. The best part of it is that they are going to cost you just a little amount of money.
- Do Some DIY
Most of the renovation should be left to the professionals if you want to achieve the best results. This is because professionals do not make mistakes and misses that would otherwise result in wastage of materials, while still increasing the working hours. However, you can still save some money by doing some of the work by yourself. For example, you can apply some fresh paint even without any expertise or specialized skills. Doing this and many other DIYs will reduce the workforce and save you some money.
- Hang Some Art
Giving your walls a facelift is very expensive especially when dealing with materials like marble and laminate. Hanging some expensive items like mirrors will also cost you so much money that you are trying to save. You can hang in some wallpaper or a piece of art on the wall to give it a new fresh look without spending so much. The best thing about wallpaper is that they come in a wide variety of colors and styles with some even mimicking expensive natural materials like marble and laminate.
- Refinish the Cabinets
Kitchen cabinets take the most beating by water and heat and as a result, are most susceptible to wear and tear. This being the case, therefore, they will need some renovation from time to time. Unfortunately, renovating cabinets comes at a very hefty cost, which can go up to a few bucks. With this in mind, you can just sand down the surface and replace the old finish with a new fresh one. They may not be entirely new but the new finish will give them a new fresh look as if they were new.
- Rearrange the Furniture
Having one arrangement of furniture for long can make the house feel older and boring even with expensive and new features. Instead of spending so much money replacing your current furniture with new ones, you can rearrange them and still achieve the new fresh look and feel. Even as you do this, you can seek advice from friends or even an interior designer so that the new formation can go bring in the perfect look and feel.
- Reinstate the Fireplace
The fireplace makes a key focal point of any room it is installed in. If you do not have a fireplace already, then consider installing one. Doing this will help give a new look and feel to your home.
The list of the many ways to renovate your house cheaply is endless. You can consult with your contractor for more hacks to save on money when doing some home renovation work. The best thing about working with a contractor is that they will offer a wide range of options and do some quality work that can save you money on materials.
