1. Add Magic of Lights
You
don’t want to buy big furniture, painting, flooring, etc. But you can certainly
invest into creative lighting.
You
don’t have to spend much, but you can buy a number of them – the inexpensive
lower-wattage ones, and arrange them in such a way that they will change the
mood of the room, delightful, romantic, soft, soothing, and so on.
When
you add the magic of light, your guests may hardly notice many other deformities
in the room’s decoration.

2. Add Nature’s Beauty
Adding
small house plants is a fantastic and economical way to make your home
transformed and enriched. And the plants need not be pricey. You can even grow
them from the vegetable and fruit remnants if you want.
First
grow them by keeping the cut-outs of vegetables and fruits like carrot, potato,
pineapple, avocado, etc, in plain water and once offshoots grow, transfer into
small decorative pots and place the pots around the house wherever sunlight
enters. Plants make spaces look rich!

3. What will You Do of Floors?
Your
floors are important too, just as walls and ceilings. If you cannot afford to
change them, consider staining or sanding wooden floors or replacing the old
carpet or linoleum with tiles.
Area
rug can be a quick fix. You can make your floors stand out in this economical
way and that will change the whole look of the rooms.

4. Hide Things Effectively
A
home regularly produces things which you don’t want to be seen by your guests
but don’t want to throw away too, e.g. old beddings, books, clothes, bottles of
cleaning solutions, brooms and more. You will have to find spaces where you can
keep these things out of sight.
Spaces
underneath beds, staircases etc can be added decorative cabinets in which you
can store these things.

5. Make Use of Old Fabrics to Create New Colourful Decoration
When
your old clothes are worn out, not all parts of them wear away. Throw away the
worn out parts and keep the good ones. Join these parts from miscellaneous
fabrics together to create fun, bright, lively patterns and colours.
You
can use them for window treatments, covers for sofas, chairs and pillows, and
more. They can be of use to add a colour riot to old throw pillows and drapes
through a creative patchwork. Instead of buying altogether new drapery and
pillows, this is much more economical and looks just fabulous.

6. Illusionary Architectural Patterns
If
you have a creative quirk, you can add illusionary architectural patterns that
will make your rooms look bigger; e.g. paint vertical or horizontal lines using
painter’s tape, or draw squares and rectangles to form shapes of boxes for
framing out your favourite pictures or sconces.
And
you can even create fake windows on walls with your favourite scene shown
through it. You can create illusions of dimension and depth to the walls with
moulding.
