If you’re embarrassed by your worn furniture or dingy cabinets and counter tops, but don’t have the money to remodel, don’t despair!  With a little creativity, you can make beautiful and simple home renovations without breaking the bank.  This article will give you tips on how to transform your living room, kitchen, and bathroom for little or no money.

Living Room

Instead of purchasing a new couch for your living room, you can transform your old couch by purchasing an attractive couch cover.  These come in a variety of colors and patterns, so you’re sure to find one that complements the interior design of the room.  You could even add some matching throw pillows and a blanket for an even more stylish look.

Maybe you’d like to buy a new wooden coffee table, but don’t have the budget for it.  You can make your own out of plywood for little or no cost. This gives the room a unique, rustic look.

Try switching out your old lampshades for new ones.  This is a small change, but it can make a noticeable difference in your home.

Rearrange your furniture to make the most of the space in the room.  This requires no money at all, just a bit of hard work and elbow grease.

Buy new frames for your photos.  You don’t have to spend a lot of money to get attractive frames.  Try a local discount store.  You may be surprised what you can find.

Kitchen

Are you embarrassed about the nicks and dings on your kitchen cabinets?  You don’t have to buy new ones. Instead, touch up those blemishes with some finish. Or simply paint your cabinets for an even cheaper route.

If you long for granite counter tops, but shirk at the price, then consider concrete as an alternative. Concrete is cheap and durable, and adds a cool new look to your kitchen.

Stainless steel appliances look gorgeous, but can come at outrageous costs. You can mimic this look by attaching peel-and-stick contact paper with a stainless steel finish to your old appliances.

Bathroom

Don’t have money for new counter tops and sinks? No problem! You can give your bathroom counter tops, faucets, and knobs a great new look with paint designed for stainless steel.

Try making small purchases like buying new towel racks, cabinet handles, and soap and toothbrush holders.  Even minute changes can help transform the appearance of the room. You don’t need to approach your house with a complete home construction project; instead make small changes in the details to give your home a renovation on a budget.
