Tips To Keep Home Makeover Cost Low

1 NO WHITE ELEPHANTS
Think about whether you really need that stylish look that's going to cost more. Some people might consider hiring an interior designer to design a nice looking kitchen. But if they don't cook a lot, that kitchen is going to be a white elephant, and they could have spent more on an area they use more.

2 GO BASIC IN THE BATHROOM
If you are not fussy, stick with the basic bulit in shower set that comes with each home. new sets can cost between $200 and $700. also consider if you really need hot water for your bathroom sinks. Plain cod water taps can cost as little as $20 but taps that mix cold and hot water can go for $120 to $180.

3 DIY HOME FIXES
A cheap and easy way to transform a room is to paint the walls. Doing it yourself will keep it to just paying for paint and brushes. Go with a rich or deep colour tone on one wall and a lighter tone on others for depth. another simple and cost effective way to brighten a room is to hang panels of cloth like quilts as artwork on the walls.

4 FLOORS GALORE
If you' re in love with the idea of wood flooring, go for bamboo as it is a cheaper alternative to parquet. It costs abt 10 to 15 % less than parquet and is more durable.

5 USE LEFTOVERS
If you've re-tiles your bathroom, keep leftover ytiles to create a wall feature in another room. A feature wall built from scatch could cost anywhere from $500. Plus, you've already paid for the tiles, so reusing them is a clever, economical thing to do.
