Rub down and stain or repaint wooden furniture and add new drawer and door handles You’ll be surprised at the difference that this can make.

When it comes to furnishings you can make your home look quite different by changing your soft furnishings. A new rug on a hardwood or laminate floor brightens a room enormously. One way of going about home furnishing and decorating on a shoestring budget is to start with your soft furnishings. Buy some new cushions with two-tone or multi-colored covers then pick out one of the colors and use that as a theme for your decorating. If there is a nice blue color in the cushions then get some blue curtains. Paint your living room a neutral color and have a blue feature wall, or whatever color it is that you have chosen.
