Every home needs a little refresher every once in a while. It’s easy to get comfortable and caught up in the rat race of life, but sometimes all you need to do is take a breath and give your space that refresher it has been craving! You don’t need lots of money; just a little time, elbow grease and creativity. Here are a few budget-friendly ways you can get started.
Declutter, Donate and Clean
Start fresh by getting rid of anything you don’t need anymore. A good rule of thumb is if you haven’t used it in six months, you don’t need it anymore. Freeing up that extra space will leave you more room for the things you love and use on a regular basis.
Create Special Spaces
Create a little corner to do the things you love the most. Add a table lamp so you can enjoy your space no matter what time of day. Little spaces in your home that serve a specific purpose for you always make you cozy and comfortable in your space!
Replace Your Curtains
Freshen up your space by changing out the curtains in your apartment. You can find budget-friendly panels, or for a fraction of the cost, consider using flat twin-size bed sheets as an affordable alternative.

Add Pops of Color
Bring pops of color into your home décor. You can use acrylic paint in the color of your choice to match your current color scheme, or go crazy and change it all up!
Add Fresh Flowers
Fresh flowers always bring a sense of freshness to your home. Splurge every now and then on the flowers that catch your eyes! If you aren’t a flower kind of person, you can always use succulents for a more easily maintainable fresh element in your home.
Change Out Linens
Bathrooms and bedrooms are often disregarded; freshen up those spaces with a new set of sheets or towels. It’s amazing what swapping out the colors in your linens can do for a space.
Make a Bold Statement
Choose a wall in your home and add something bold. Don’t be afraid to take one small space and do something more daring than you normally would. This will change the whole look of the room! Consider using something colorful, hang up some 3D art, get creative and make your own item, or just go big!
