Just because you’re broke doesn’t mean that your home can’t be stylish, organized, and luxurious. The secret to renovating your home on a budget is to replace expensive items with affordable alternatives that will require some extra time and assembly on your part.
Snagging A Good Deal On A New Mattress
One of the most expensive bedroom renovations you can embark upon will be the purchasing of a new mattress. Quality mattresses can be incredibly expensive. If you’re a girl living on your own and working within a budget, you will not have the cash to drop on a brand new mattress all at once. Luckily, there are a few ways that you can get your new mattress and not break the bank. Many furniture stores that sell mattresses will allow you to purchase one using a payment plan. Another way to find a good deal on a new mattress is to visit your local furniture store or mattress outlet store to examine mattresses personally. Once you’ve inspected the different mattresses on the market and have chosen one that feels good on your body, write down its name and model number. Go online and find a better deal elsewhere using your chosen mattress’ information.
Paint, Don’t Replace
Are you tired of your current kitchen cabinetry? Don’t stress yourself out by thinking that you’ll have to pay for an entirely new set of cabinets. Instead, you can give your kitchen cabinetry a new makeover by simply adding a new coating of paint. You can turn this into a fun do-it-yourself weekend project. The cabinets will need to be stripped of all other coats of paint before the new coating is applied. You don’t need to limit yourself to just using colored paint. You can opt for a more natural aesthetic by purchasing a few cans of quality wood stain and use the stain to enhance the natural beauty of the wood instead of covering it with paint.
Clever Carpet Replacement
Replacing your dirty and worn carpets can add up to be quite an expensive home renovation. The more rooms in your home that need a carpet renovation, the more your bank account will suffer. Thankfully, there are cheaper and more clever options for you to consider when it comes time to replace the carpets in your home. Don’t think that you have to purchase brand new rolls of carpeting. Instead, invest in a series of soft, thick area rugs. Area rugs will provide your flooring with the cushioning that you desire while giving your home more variety when it comes to style and design.
Decluttering With Decorative Wall Storage Space
When you look around your home and begin to notice all of the clutter that you have, this can be your excuse to initiate a home renovation. This particular renovation will benefit your home in multiple ways. Removing the clutter will improve the overall look and mood of your home. Additionally, creating a decorative wall storage space in which to hold your clutter will add style and rustic charm to the theme of your home. A decorative wall storage space can be created using stylish woven baskets, decorative wooden containers, or painted wall-mounted pegboards. You can use hooks and pegs to hold items on the pegboards in a decorative pattern or in an organized fashion of your choosing. The wonderful thing about these decorative items is that they’re easy to find in your local store and they’re incredibly affordable.
Renovate Your Bedroom Closet With Shelves
Every girl loves a spacious and organized closet. Whether you’re enjoying a large walk-in closet or a compact closet that is only deep enough to hold your clothing, there are various ways for you to renovate your bedroom closet for optimal organization and extra storage space. A clever way to accomplish this is to build shelves on the walls of your closet. If they’re placed below your hanging clothes, this will utilize a previously unused area and transform it into an organizational paradise.
Executing these renovations by hand is more satisfying than purchasing something premade in a store. So, don’t be dissuaded by the concept of embracing arts and crafts to save yourself a lot of money.
