Renovations are never an easy task but they are doable. Also, renovations can be quite expensive, but they don’t always have to be. Here are some tips to renovate your home on a budget.
Get your DIY on
Doing the work yourself can save you quite a lot of money, but may just take up a bit more time than if you got a professional. Of course, you should always use professionals for any electrical, plumbing or structural work, but for painting, gardening, and even tiling, why not give it go yourself?
Start with cheap fixes
There are lots of cheap fixes you can make within a home without spending too much money. Simply repainting a room in a more modern colour can make a huge impact, or you can swap out old or outdated light fixtures for modern lighting to give rooms a lift.
You can also make lots of positive tweaks and changes to a kitchen and bathroom, even on a tight budget. These include replacing handles on cabinets, repairing or painting tiles, swapping out taps and adding a splashback, drawer organisers and extra storage shelves.
Use an app
