3. You just need some imagination, some hard work and some time! Here are some home remodelling ideas on a budget.

4. 1. From drab to fab with a new coat of paint Let’s face it, the first thing we notice in a house is – the walls! And you actually would not believe how easy it is to change the entire appearance of your home with a simple coat of paint. There are so many choices that you can spend a whole day simply looking through colour shades. Take a good look at the furniture in your home. You should choose a colour that works well with your furniture. Otherwise, you might end up with a headache every time you enter any room.

5. 2. Wallpapers are for the daring When it comes to shaking up your drab walls, there’s no better way than with wallpapers. They are truly a great option when you’re trying to remodel your home on a budget. But, the amount of options is incredible. And, for the sake of not getting lost while choosing, consider them carefully. Don’t get the first thing that you like. Actually, think about what would work in your home.

6. 3. Update floors If walls are the first thing we see when we enter a home, the floors are the second. We don’t often notice that our floors are the ones that take the brunt of our home life. They endure and endure the weight of our steps, which means that they definitely need a change from time to time. Now, placing a new parquet floor in every room, which would be the best option, is also incredibly, incredibly expensive. Well, luckily, there is a more affordable version. With a simple coat of floor paint, you can rejuvenate your entire home.

7. 4. Hang pictures and art on the walls One of the most effective home remodelling ideas is to hang art on the walls. Many people are quite shy when it comes to displaying it on their walls. But the possibilities are innumerable! You can even make a gallery wall. Simply take your family photographs, quotes that inspire you and other pictures you may like, put them in a frame and hang on the wall of your choice. Now, the trick here is to really think about the position of each picture. If you’re feeling uninspired, you can always look for inspiration on the Internet.

8. 5. Add storage space Another thing that could make you see your home in a completely different light is to add some storage space to it. When it comes to clutter, we tend to not notice it until it piles up to the point we literally cannot stand it. That is why one of the best things you can do is get creative with storage space and put it away. You could install, for instance, storage below your bed or even add a shelf or two in your garage. If you can build it yourself, even better (and cheaper).

9. 6. Remodel your bathroom in simple ways How often do you look at your bathroom and think that it needs a little pizzazz? Well, it may not be that often, but when you’re considering home remodelling ideas, you should definitely include the bathroom. Especially because it can be remodelled easily. Simply changing the accessories, such as towel bars, soap dishes and shelves can make a huge difference. You can even get matching sets nowadays. If you want to spruce up your boring old tiles, you can get tile tattoos.

10. 7. Remodel your kitchen When it comes to home remodelling ideas for your kitchen, there are also quite affordable options with great benefits. Instead of replacing your kitchen cabinets, which could be incredibly costly, try painting them. Painting them will give them a fresh look at a relatively low price. However, if they are in quite a poor state, then the best option is to replace them.

11. 8. Modernize your light fixtures Nowadays, there are many options for light fixtures that you can buy at an affordable price. Changing the light fixtures can make you see your home in a completely new light. Also, you should look at installing track lights, which look incredibly fashionable. Their price has dropped significantly recently and it’s not that difficult to install them. You can put them in your kitchen or on the wall in your living room/bedroom. Anywhere you put them, they will make a cosier and more comfortable atmosphere.

12. 9. Install interior shutters If you’ve never had shutters, you’d be surprised at how different a room feels with them. It reminds you of summer in the south or at the seaside, adding a fresh air to your home. You could also install shades at about the same price, but shutters look more sophisticated. Not to mention the added benefit of stopping prying eyes. Another benefit of shutters is that they work well both in the summer and in the winter. In the summer, they keep the heat out, and in the winter, they keep the heat in. All that while looking simply exquisite.

13. 10. Take care of the exterior, as well When people are looking to remodel their home on a budget, they usually forget the exterior. However, that is one of the most important parts. Actually, the exterior of your home is in charge of the first impression a person gets before entering your home. In case you live in a house, one of the cheapest, and yet most fun ways you can reinvent your exterior is to plant a few flowers here and there. You would not believe how much more open and inviting a house looks with simply one flower bed, let alone several.

14. Summary A little tweak here and a little tweak there, that's all it takes. And knowing what is it that you want for your home is just cherry on the top. Now that you know these tricks of remodelling your home on a budget, you can apply them yourself. Regards, CUTE INSIDES
