Who said a beautiful home has to cost an arm and a leg? There are plenty of ways to completely transform your space without spending a fortune! ServiceMarket and Kansai Paints have been hard at work to bring you budget-friendly transformation ideas to instantly update your home! These 5 low-cost decorating ideas will add instant chic to any room.
1. The Feature Wall
The easiest and most economical way of transforming a space is by changing the colour of one wall to create a highlight or focal point. A feature wall can instantly change the look of a room and create a dramatic change without changing anything else in the room. You can choose from a wide range of bold and bright shades, or can opt to use textured paint to create a more unusual look. If you aren’t keen on texture, you can add splashes of colour in small ways such as colour blocking, ombre effect or by adding stripes or bands.
2. Bright Accessories
Another easy way to transform your space is to add brightly coloured accessories such as cushions, throws, rugs and curtains. These can be changed more often and do not require much time or effort. Simply head out to furniture shops such as Home Center or IKEA and pick up some matching bargain pieces. Vibrant accessories can completely uplift a previously dull space.
3. Brighten Up Old Furniture
Repainting old furniture is also a great way of creating a dramatic effect. Adding a pop of color on the furniture piece will give it a brand new look and will instantly brighten up your room. Make sure to pick the right type of paint for your furniture though – if you want to paint a wooden table then you will need to buy wood paint to stop the paint from chipping and damaging your furniture.
4. Lighting
Lighting is also an essential décor element – and is an area overlooked by many people. The right type of lighting not only changes the mood of the room but also helps bring all the other elements of the room together. You can play around with different type of light fixtures to create a totally different vibe in your room.
5. Metallic Accessories
Accessories play a very important role in décor and give the finishing touch to any space. If you look around you can pick up unique items without having to spend a lot of money. Metallic accessories are in style this year and can make your room look expensive and classy. Metallic elements such as curios or wall plates add a touch of bling and will transform the look of a room.
