You don’t have to break the bank to change how your home looks. Try these 8 easy home makeover ideas to bring new life to your home!

I’ve been looking for inexpensive and easy-to-accomplish makeover ideas that are simple to undertake and make a difference in every space in my home. 

Sure, getting new furniture, giving the walls a fresh coat of paint, changing out kitchen cabinets and light fixtures, or stripping the carpet to get new flooring sound like great ideas, but what if those options really aren’t in the budget right now?

What if a little smart rearranging and frugal shopping can make the difference and be the easy way out to a home makeover you will love?

Inexpensive and easy ways to spruce up a room

I’m no interior designer, but reading tips from Ashley Bowen, Zulily’s Lead Editorial Stylist for Home, sure did spark inspiration to bring a fresh look to our home. 

1. Freshen up your home with plants

If you don’t have a green thumb and you feel taking care of living plants will take up much time, faux plants are the best way to add color and life to any space.

2. Bold colors and patterns are in! 

Spruce up your space with accent walls- make this the center stage in every room. Choose bold paint colors or different styles of stick and peel wallpaper that speak to you. Say goodbye to those plain walls and change the overall home look.

3. For a cost-effective seasonal or holiday update, switch up your throws and accent pillows with on-trend prints and textures

for a simple way to make small rooms, especially, look like a new space!

Shop sales to grab a good deal or thrift stores and flea markets if you don’t mind buying pre-loved items. 

4. Invest in a new rug. 

This is never a bad idea, especially when you need to change the look of your room. When we moved homes, I bought all our area rugs from the events to save a lot of money. I personally love earthy and blue colors and feel it brings warmth to a room. A good rug changes the look of an entire room.

5. Switch out or add new wall decor or a fun piece of wall art.

Simple changes do make a difference! Invest in getting open floating shelves if you don’t have some in your rooms. Open shelves are a beautiful way to showcase and feature art figurines or even family mementos.

6. Create a gallery wall with family photographs.  

This is a great way to engage visitors to your home as well!

7. Add new lighting or change out and get colorful lampshades to bring a change to the ambiance in the room.

8. Consider adding room accents to decorate an otherwise plain-looking space.

You don’t need to spend a lot. A home makeover can be done on a tight budget.

The most important thing to look out for is those deals.

It’s always a great idea to have a family member be your sounding board, and together, you can find unique ways to bring new life to your home.
