Remodelling Ideas for Different Parts of Your Home

If you've been living in the same home for many years, or if you bought a fixer-upper, it's natural that you want to renovate and upgrade your home.

But upgrades are expensive. A new set of kitchen cabinets will cost thousands of dollars. New countertops, bath vanities and hardwood floors will cost several thousand more.

Not willing to shell out a 5-digit figure for your home upgrade costs? Here are few cheap ways to remodel your home on a budget.

1.   Rearrange your furniture. You don't necessarily need new pieces of furniture - simply creating new shapes, and reorganizing the flow of a living space, can do wonders.
2. Change your lampshades it will make a huge differences
3. Repaint your wall or change your wall paper
4. Alternatively, paint your ceiling a new, fresh color. Some people are experimenting with soft neutral colors on the walls and a bold color on the ceiling, like white walls with a bright yellow ceiling, or light beige walls with an eggplant/purple ceiling.
5. Hang new photos or art on the walls. For an even more frugal alternative, simply change the frames of your existing photos and art. 
   
6. Hang more mirrors, even in places that are above eye-level (like over a fireplace). This increases the light that shines through the house. If you can hang two mirrors in the same room, put them on opposite walls; this will give the impression of a larger room.
7. Change your kitchen and bath rug and your doormat. Switch to a new shower curtain.
   
8. Buy some new cushion and pillow covers, or sew them out of old unneeded pieces of clothing or fabric. Don't have any that are good enough? Hunt for fabric at yard sales.
9. Get some small decorative items like mini-lanterns, artsy coasters and a new coffee table book. These are more "finishing details" that give a space a modern feel.
10. Burn candles or put new airfreshner, this brings about a new atmosphere.
