1. MOVE YOUR FURNITURE
We're all guilty of getting stuck in a rut with our furniture. Once you have everything in place for a while it becomes difficult to imagine it any other way, let alone think there could be a better arrangement. However, designers say this might be holding back your home's full potential.
2. ADD SOME FOLIAGE
Fresh flowers and houseplants always add life to a space, but they can be expensive. No living room is complete without some form of foliage, but flowers need to be replaced frequently and some house plants are high maintenance.
3. RESTYLE YOUR SHELVES
Another thing you can do to change the look and feel of a space without spending any money at all is restyling items you already have. Shelving is an obvious choice. The decorative items on display don't have to stay in the same arrangement forever, so switch them up for added interest. The coffee table also provides an amazing opportunity to show off your personality and style. Switching up the items you are showcasing gives a completely new look and focal point to the space.
4. MAKE AN EFFORT WITH YOUR TABLESCAPE
One simple way to refresh your dining room is by making more effort with your tablescape. This is something we typically save for when we have guests over, however, if you incorporate it into your daily routine it can have a transformative effect on your space. This doesn't mean having an expensive set of tableware either, the best tablescapes are those that are unique and reflect your personality.
5. SHOP YOUR HOUSE
Before you turn to the shops for something new, look around your own home first says DIY decor enthusiast Linda Smith. 'There are several ways to upgrade your home without spending money, and my favorite is something I like to call "shop your house",' she says. 'If you want to give your living room a refresh, for example, remove all accessories, pillows, throws, and knickknacks then, with intention, only add back those items that you truly love and that fit your space.'
