Budget hacks to save big on your renovation

RENOVATING or restyling your home is typically a pretty expensive adventure. However, there are plenty of cost-cutting measures you can exercise, without sacrificing quality, to save a penny along the way.

If you are looking to make big changes to your home without breaking the bank, here are a handful of helpful budget hacks.

  • Choose furniture that can also serve as storage, solving two problems in one.
  • Shop in the ‘As Is’ sections to find slightly damaged décor or furniture for a fraction of the price.
  • Better yet, consider furnishing your home with second-hand items. Local op shops and antique stores are a treasure trove for bargains.
  • Rather than custom items, consider readymade.
  • Maximise your existing furniture or re-upholster and repurpose.
  • Consider using open shelves over drawers.
