Investing In Better Construction

If you are looking to do some remodeling and redecorating around your home but you do not necessarily have an extensive budget to work with, you may wonder if you ever can or will figure out a way to change up your home without spending every last cent you have. The good news is that not every remodeling and redecorating project needs to be detrimental to your budget. There are ways to remodel and redecorate for less. Get to know some of these money saving options so that you can be sure that your home looks refreshed and renewed without emptying your bank accounts to do so.

Paint Your Floors and Countertops Instead of Replacing Them

One of the ways that you can save money as you are remodeling and redecorating your home is to not necessarily replace elements that could be repainted or otherwise redone to look completely different and renewed. Floors and countertops are some of those aspects of your home that you might be able to repaint rather than replace.

Wood floors, for example, especially hardwood floors can be sanded down and stained or painted virtually any color you would like. If you have a darker finish wood floor and are looking to go more modern with your decor, you could sand off the dark finish and stain them a lighter natural wood color. Alternatively, you could paint them white or a light tan or beige color as well.

Laminate or wood countertops can also be repainted to save you money. You can choose the paint colors yourself or opt for a countertop painting kit. Some of the kits available give you the paints and tools to make your countertops look more like granite or other stone countertops for an extra touch of beauty and elegance in your home.

Purchase Inexpensive, Plain Fabric Items and Use Embroidery to Personalize Them

Along with those major areas of your home you are remodeling, you are also likely looking to update your home's decor and style. One of the ways that you can do this without blowing your budget is by engaging in a little DIY magic with fabric items.

Throw pillows, couch covers, dishtowels, bath towels, pillowcases, and other fabric items can help to create the tone of a room and add that little accent of color and personality that makes a space stylish and unique. However, purchasing items that already have embroidery, themed designs, and the like can get expensive quickly.

To help offset costs, you can choose to purchase less expensive options that have plain, solid colors with little to no decoration (or just simply purchase fabric from a fabric store to cut and sew yourself). These plainer items can be personalize through embroidery. You can add designs, pictures, emblems, names, and more to your items to make them unique. For example, if your master bathroom has an ocean theme, you can embroider different sea creatures onto the bath and hand towels that you use. You could even embroider a plain fabric shower curtain with nautical and ocean designs.

With these ideas in mind, you can begin planning your remodeling and redecorating project in a way that will save you as much money as possible in the process. For more information, contact local professionals like C & E Imprinted Sportswear.
