How Do I Modernise My Home On A Budget?

Times are changing fast and so is everything around us. It’s only natural and wise for us to change our living styles too. And that essentially starts from our very home. Now the moment you hear the word ‘revamp’ or ‘renovate’, you may stop for a moment to reconsider your thoughts on giving your home a makeover. The reason: presumably higher budget. What if we tell you that you can now go in for revamping your home on a budget?

How do I give a modern feel to my house?

Keep things simple but innovative. Creativity is the key here. If you don’t have the budget to hire a professional interior designer for this task, don’t fret. We can help you with some simple tips which would help you get an inexpensive home makeover without much hassle.

1. Colour it up:
   We know that homes, especially apartments, are traditionally painted in either whites or very soft peach-like hues at the time of construction. It’s now time to add some colour to your house and give it a lively touch and feel. You may choose to repaint the entire house (if your budget allows that) or even choose to do it in instalments as you deem convenient.
2. Smart up your kitchen:
   For women, kitchen is literally their second home where they end up spending a significant portion of their day. Wouldn’t you like it all trendy yet classic keeping your convenience intact? All you need to do is just make some very simple and easily affordable amends to it – replace the handles of cabinets with some contemporary designs, repaint the units/walls, or add some trendy tiles for a modern look.
3. Bathrooms need a makeover too:
   Absolutely, they are one of the many places in your house which can be revamped to look as beautiful as the rest of the house itself. And that too strictly under budget. You may change your shower curtains or even toilet seats to make the change noticeable. Painting is a big plus and adding a few compact glass holders in the corner can neatly stack up all your toiletries without looking cluttered.
4. Store it all up:
   The best way to modernize your home without spending a fortune is just tidying up all the stuff that’s normally lying around and is all over the place. Books, for instance, CDs, electronic gadgets and remotes – these are things which can be easily arranged by creating some storage spaces in your living/bedroom. It looks much neater and is affordable too.
5. Change the lighting:
   Did you know that your house lighting can actually work magic in the way it looks and feels to visitors? Perfect lighting not just helps change the mood but also makes smaller homes appear bigger. They also add emphasis to your chosen colour scheme for the specific room, besides adding an ethnic touch by placing a small wooden lamp by the bedside or hanging a tiny lantern in the kitchen.

These are mere suggestions; you may tweak around them depending on your pocket and personal choice. Anything that ultimately helps you achieve your dream home.
