Tips for Making Your Home Look Elegant on a Budget

July 17, 2020 by Annie

Practically everyone would love to have an elegant home for their own enjoyment, not to mention the ability to impress neighbors and guests. It’s easy to drag yourself down with the knowledge that most of us are unlikely to ever live in a mansion, or that you may not have the money for major renovations. The good news is that you don’t need those things. Anyone can make home improvements, even on a budget, and there are several ways you can breathe new life into even an old home.

Boost Your Curb Appeal

The outside of your home makes the first impression, and there are plenty of great DIY ideas out there to help you make sure it’s a good one. Greenery makes any yard instantly more appealing, so lawn care is crucial for any homeowner. Fortunately, it never has to be a big project so long as you regularly remove weeds, water dry spots, and mow the grass as needed. Simple projects like cleaning your gutters and power washing your siding can make a big difference too. If you want to put in more effort, you can make your home seem more welcoming by installing some planters and giving your door a fresh coat of paint.

Upgrade your Kitchen

The kitchen is one of the most important rooms in the house, and there are plenty of great reasons to remodel a basic kitchen. More modern kitchen design is always pleasing on the eyes, and improved lighting and fixtures not only provide a better atmosphere but will also save energy. A kitchen with premium features can even raise the value of your home.

If you can’t afford a remodel, then even taking smaller steps like installing new kitchen cabinets can make your kitchen look like new. Cabinets are one of the defining features of the room, and you’ll want materials with durability like plywood or quality Veneered MDF boards. You can customize wall cabinets, base cabinets, or both for a kitchen that’s all your own. Combine a few new appliances and accessories with neutral colors, and you’ll have a gorgeous, modern kitchen in no time.

Show Off Luxury Faux Fur

Nothing shouts fancy like a premium fur rug, and Chesserfeld has you covered on products you’ll need to cover your flooring. A faux fur sheepskin rug can be a great addition to any bathroom, or you could lay a rabbit faux fur rug in the living room. Place one over the kitchen floor in an area that has a high risk of slips for added practicality. These rugs look like the real thing but come at a fraction of the cost and with none of the cruelty. Everyone knows how a good rug can really tie a room together, and you can even match your rugs with faux fur throw pillows for added texture.

Hang Wall Art

Speaking of things that can improve practically any room, wall art is a great idea to add a finishing touch or change the mood of a room. Canvas prints are a great, cheap way to display large art pieces or turn a wall into a gallery with smaller pictures. You can make prints of anything from famous paintings or original works to photographs. You can even decorate a wall itself to create an accent wall in a room.

Anything can be used as decoration, too. Mirrors, plants, and plates are all good examples of things you can hang to add some much-needed variety. Even novelty items as simple as a giant calendar or notation board can add personality. With a little imagination, you can find some great, cheap ways to create an elegant home anyone could be proud of.

About Me

Hi! I'm Annie and I have 3 kids (all in their teens - yikes!). My mommy blog isn't all about lunches and DIY - it's also about humour. Like how my kids make fun of my texts as if I don't know how to use emojis (I DO!). Now that I have a bit more time - since my kids don't want to hang out with me (teenagers), I have taken up blogging.
