Building The Crowder's

Hey ya’ll!! Today is a topic that I get asked about a lot! I decided to write a post that will help you update your home without a mound of money. Let’s face it, home renovation can be a daunting and expensive task, but this doesn’t mean you can’t change the feel of your home. There are several easy and affordable ways to transform your space without a major renovation. Let’s see if these examples help get the ball rolling on updating your home.

Update your home using Paint

I want to start with the number one thing that will transform any space, paint. It’s one of the easiest and most affordable ways to give your home a fresh look. A new coat of paint can transform the entire room and make it feel like new. Choose a color that will complement your furniture and decor, or experiment with a bold statement wall for a dramatic feel. Paint is my go to when I need a change and fast!

Update your home using Lighting

The next idea for updating your home without renovation is to change your lighting. Lighting can make a significant impact on mood and atmosphere of your home. Swap out old light fixtures for new, modern ones, or add floor lamps or table lamps to create a cozy ambiance. If you don’t want to spend much money, a can of spray paint has never let me done to make an instant change to a light fixture. Also, consider installing dimmer switches to control the intensity of the light and create a more relaxed atmosphere.

Update your home using Textiles

If you’re looking for a more tactile experience, then try switching out your textiles. Updating your home with new textiles is an easy and affordable way to refresh your space. Swap your throw pillows, blankets, and curtains for new ones with different patterns or textures. This will add a pop of color and personality to your room without breaking the bank.

Update your home using your own things

Here’s an idea that I use to do a lot when I was a kid and it made such a difference, rearrange your furniture. The best part of this is it’s FREE! Sometimes, all your space needs is a little rearranging to feel new and fresh. Experiment with moving your furniture around, or try adding or removing pieces to create a new layout. This can give your space an entire new vibe and make it feel more open and inviting.

Update your home using Plants

Bringing in plants to your home not only brightens up your space but also improves your air quality and can boost your mood. Now, I understand that not everyone has a green thumb, so for those of you who are plant challenged, then I suggest going the fake plat route. Amazon has great options that look real. If you are going the real route, low-maintenance plants like succulents are fun, or you may opt for larger statement plants like a fiddle leaf fig. Adding greenery to your home can instantly make it feel more alive and inviting.

Hopefully now you can see that updating your home doesn’t have to involve a major renovation. By following these tips, you can transform your living space without breaking the bank. These simple changes can make a big difference in the way you feel about your home and create a more comfortable and inviting atmosphere. Are you going togive any of these a try? If so, leave me a comment and let me know which one.
