Introduction
You just bought a new home, and you love it. But now that you’ve settled in and gotten used to the way things look, you’re ready for some changes! You don’t have a lot of cash on hand right now, but that doesn’t mean your house has to stay the same. Here are some creative ways to spruce up your space without breaking the bank:
Paint is the cheapest way to give your space a facelift, so do it!

Paint is easy to do yourself. It’s also something you can do over old paint or wallpaper if you want to update the look of an entire room without spending too much money. This will instantly make your place feel new again and help you get rid of any tired looking colors that have been hanging around for too long.
Don’t be afraid to upcycle or recycle.
There are so many creative ways to make your home feel fresh and new without spending a lot of money. One way is to look at what you already have in your home and see if it can be reused or recycled into something else. For example, magazines and cardboard boxes are great materials for upcycling into picture frames or wall art!
If you don’t have any old furniture lying around, consider shopping at thrift stores or garage sales (or even online) where the prices are usually much lower than retail stores. You might just find some hidden gems that will give new life to an old piece of furniture!
If you can’t afford a new rug, switch out the old one for an area rug, or lay down a throw rug on top of a carpet.
If you can’t afford a new rug, switch out the old one for an area rug or lay down a throw rug on top of your carpet. Area rugs are much cheaper than large ones and will give your floors an instant makeover. You can also use them to tie together different parts of the room, like by placing one in front of your couch or under it. Throw rugs are great because they’re easy to clean–just shake off dirt and debris when necessary–and don’t take up as much space as other floor coverings like carpets do (which means there’s no need for expensive padding underneath).
Add some artwork.
- Choose the artwork that you want to display. For example, if you have a collection of books that are lying around your home, why not frame them and hang them on the wall? You could also use old family photos or even draw something yourself!
- Buy/make frames for your pieces of art. If you don’t know how to make frames yet, no worries! There are many websites online where you can order custom-sized picture frames in various styles at affordable prices (and they’ll even ship them directly to your door). If money isn’t an issue, consider buying one big piece of framed artwork instead–it will instantly add color and personality without taking up too much space in the room. However, if cost is an issue then making small frames out of cardboard boxes or wood scraps could be just as effective–just remember not to use materials from toxic sources like lead paint because these kinds of things aren’t good for people’s health.”
Replace hardware on doors and cabinets.
As you know, hardware can make or break a space. If you’re looking to spruce up your home on a budget, replacing hardware is an easy way to do it.
- Door knobs and cabinet handles: You don’t have to replace your entire door or cabinet with new ones–just the handles! This is especially useful if you have an older home and want to update the look without spending too much money. Plus, there are so many different styles of knobs and pulls out there that won’t break the bank.
- Drawer pulls: Drawers are another place where it’s easy (and cheap!) to add some flair with new drawer pulls! They come in all shapes, sizes and materials so finding one that works with your existing decor shouldn’t be too difficult. If possible though try not go overboard since they tend not last as long as other types of hardware such as hinges do when used excessively over time due mostly due their size which makes them susceptible
