Small, effective and targeted low-cost interventions are enough and your apartment will immediately become more original and welcoming: here are some useful ideas. What you like
Let’s start from here
Let’s start with the style: which one you like and represents the most
Classic, vintage, rustic, urban, modern, shabby, colonial, Provencal: decide what you want to invest in, focusing on some pieces without forgetting that as a whole it must be all harmonious . Look for bargains
Arm yourself with holy patience: browse catalogs and visit different shops in search of the cheapest price or bargain. The furniture on display is usually discounted, but make sure it is not too damaged.
In addition, the web is full of flea markets: now there are dedicated apps, sites and groups on social networks: register and regularly check all the ads inserted so as not to miss any opportunity. With the second hand you will have a certain saving , often of 50%. It is also not unusual to find new products that have been sold off for wrong purchase : why not try! Refurbish old furniture
If possible, reuse old furniture, restoring it and changing its destination with a pinch of creativity. Then focus on furnishing accessories that will give your home a new look without completely revolutionizing it. Some ideas
Old vintage-style furniture is perfect to be painted in white, gray or other trendy colors: from a dark color, they will bring a lot of light into your homes! Also, if you like style, consider making some paint decorations on furniture doors using old doilies. Sell ​​the furniture you no longer like
Surely at home you will have some furniture that you just don’t like anymore, or that no longer fits (perhaps because of its size) to the new furniture you have in mind. Consider selling it : with the money you earn you can buy the new furniture you like so much, without taking out a single penny out of your pocket. Renew your home textiles
Renew the covers of the cushions in the living room or bedroom : choose a bright color, such as olive green, and recall it with touches of color even on fabrics and accessories.

Finally, the art of arranging flowers can be an extra weapon for those who know it: a vase and a flower are enough to give a touch of extreme refinement to an environment. The important thing is to isolate the composition in order to give it more visibility, without interference from other elements that would interrupt the order and harmony. Source: DiLei
