Remodeling Without Spending Much – Part II
Throw Pillows
New throw pillows will transform the whole look of your couch, and cost considerably less than reupholstering or buying new. You can add different colors depending on your house theme.
Lighting
Lighting can totally transform the look of a room, and needn’t be costly. Place an uplight on the floor behind a chair or plant. Install wall-mounted lights beside a bed. Buy a new table lamp especially in your reading area. And most impactful of all: Replace a conventional wall switch with a dimmer. If you’re at all handy you can do it yourself. Afterward, you’ll wonder why you didn’t do it sooner.
Window Treatments
Window treatments can get pretty costly. But there is some stores that has a great source for inexpensive curtains. Or you can even make your own. Just buy a fabric, sew, and viola. All you need to do is a little experimentation.
Houseplants
It may seem obvious, but until you’ve seen the way a plant can transform the look of a room, you never quite believe it. The color, texture and mass can help fill a space that looks empty and can add life to a room that feels forlorn.
