Transforming a room on a budget
The best thing you can do is clean your windows. This can really open up your room especially with the change of weather and seasons. By allowing as much light in as possible it opens up the space and brings some life back into your home.
Which room should you upgrade for more value?
The kitchen and bathroom are where most of your value will be added. However, they are also the most expensive rooms to maintain and refurbish.
The grouting is the most noticeable area and sign that the room needs some TLC. If the grout looks old and grubby then it’s time to clean or re-grout.
When cleaning appliances you should definitely clean everywhere, even if it is not on show, these things spread, and it is also hygienic to have a good wipe over – clear any limescale or grime from your taps too.
There are some other small things that can make a difference. You can change door handles on cupboards or improve any woodwork. All of these changes can make a huge improvement to a room without spending a lot.
Refreshing a room without buying furniture
The good tip is to clear all your shelves and put everything in the middle. Once you have given everything a good clean, you can then re-organise ornaments and pictures. Just by placing things in different areas of the room can bring a new and fresh look.
Often, this can be very therapeutic as well.
