There are so many ways to makeover your living room without spending a ton of money. I’m going to give you a few ideas on how to give your living room, or any room in the house for that matter, a glamorous overhaul without breaking the bank. If you are in a rented home and I’m not allowed to paint or drill holes to add photos or artwork there are still many ways to change your space using stick on hooks and wall coverings.

Wall hangings and tapestries are great way to make big changes to a room, you can create a feature wall using large pieces or use smaller pieces to hang like art. Choosing the right colours and patterns are very important as large tapestries draw the eye immediately when entering the room, you can decorate the entire room based around the colours or patterns or theme of the fabric and change that whenever you want to start new.

Fabric hangings and tapestries can give rooms are very bohemian look and feel and also makes a room feel less cold as fabrics are very warming and this goes for bedding, cushions and throws eccetera. If you’re going to go for a wall hanging tapestry I suggest this is one of the first things you purchase as it sets the tone and colour palette for the whole room.

Just like a wall hangings, bedding has a huge bearing on how your bedroom looks. If it’s the bedroom you are giving the makeover this would be an important thing to consider. The bed is often the largest item in the room so covering it with a fabric definitely draws the eye so choosing bedding is very important as again it helps to set the theme or colour scheme that runs through the bedroom. The bedding tying into the theme/colour scheme of the room will create cohesion. When making over a bedroom on a budget bedding is a great place to start as it is something that will always be in the room. Doing makeovers in my home always makes me feel like I’m adulting.

No matter what room you are working on the floor is the largest surface in the space and definitely requires consideration. I have engineered wood flooring throughout my house with the only carpet being on the stairs. So the floors in every room look great regardless of the decor in the room and it’s allows for low cost customisation using rugs. Choosing a rug or runner to add some more personality to your space makes a big difference but doesn’t have to cost the world and these are some of the things that can be moved around or moved to a different room as and when you fancy a change.

The most cost effective way to make changes to a room is to switch out smaller decorative accessories. Recently rose gold accessories have been huge in home decor and really add a touch of glam to a room. I personally like white accessories at the moment just because I like clean and simple looking pieces, also it’s very easy to add colour in different ways for example bedding and fabrics. White, gold and black accessories are nice and simple and will fit in any bedroom and if you every decide to change the colour scheme completely these items could still stay.

Accessories can range from plant pots to rugs, cushions, artwork, chair covers, lanterns, pen holders, candles, anything really and they make a room feel more you and will showcase your style and character. All of these things work together so you don’t have to replace any large furniture items to get a brand new room.

Another great way to improve your living space is to update outdoor areas with anything from composite decking, new garden furniture to even something as small as some new flowers or plants. There are so many low cost options to makeover your surroundings.
