They are warm and hard wearing and a classic choice. Beautiful straight-line potted plants also give your entrance a fresh, natural flair, without wasting too much money! 

4. Redoing your floors

A good fireplace is both decorative and functional at the same time. On dark winter days it becomes the crackling center of the house. But even in summer it is beautiful to watch and see in your living room as a decorative piece.

6. Less disorder in the hallway

The hallway is always about first impression. Everything else happens afterwards. It is the calling card of our home.  And how to make it shine? In this example the neutral tones are stunning and against white color mesmerizing. A great shoe cabinet, a stylish sideboard, a plant in the corner, all these little details make an optical difference. Gone are the days when innumerable pairs of shoes were scattered on the floor – or you had to look for the keys which were perhaps in your jacket somewhere. These details are not overly expensive but they do make a difference.

7. Old treasures as new ideas

Upcycling is a new trend which reaches many living rooms today. And what is it about? It costs nothing except maybe some dusting off, each one of us has something old that is quite interesting or memorable, an old treasure like a vase, set of hardcover books your grandfather left you behind, black and white photographs, an old mirror your aunt decided was not nice anymore but fitted so chic in your living room. These pieces are vintage and trendy and above all cost effective!

8. A new ceiling

If you have to budget within your budget, you can always take small steps in renovating. This means you can start saving and only buy then when you have saved enough for some precious object that you have been eyeing for months. This does mean waiting longer but in the end buying something of value which you really desire.

But just like wood, it can get stained and it is a good idea to have it from time to time professionally cleaned. It gives the carpet that new glow and gets rid of any unwanted old smells.
