Give your home a makeover without breaking the bank

Dining table for home makeover ideas on a budget
Changing the furniture in your home is a great way to give it a makeover on a budget.

It’s a new year and a new start, so why not give your home a makeover?

Sprucing up the furniture around your house is a great way to give it a fresh look without splashing paint around or calling in the builders.

In January winter sales also mean you can meet those aspirations without wading into the overdraft.

Home makeover ideas on a budget

We got together with the team from Celebrations of Turriff in Aberdeenshire to see what they’ve got in store to brighten up your home.

Dream up your perfect bedroom

Bed for home makeover ideas on a budget
A stylish bed makes for a great focus in your room.

Your bed is the centrepiece of your bedroom and changing it can completely overhaul the feel of the place. Even changing your headboard can make a big difference. Taking advantage of winter discounts means you’re doing it for the best possible price. It’s also recommended that you replace your mattress every six to eight years to guarantee a good night’s sleep. Brands such as Hypnos, Sealy, Relyon, Silent Night, M Lilly, Sonlevo and Emma will add style and comfort to your room.

Investing in a new wardrobe, dresser and bedside table is another way to give things a lift. You can shift things from modern to a more traditional feel or vice versa and it’s an easy way to change the colour scheme of the room. Premium manufacturers such as Maysons will ensure you add some elegance to the practicality.

Suite ideas for the living room

Changing your suite will freshen up your lounge.

Switching things up in your living room is easy. Replacing your suite will completely change its look and feel. You can opt for a corner sofa which will open up the room, creating space and providing focus. They also encourage guests to gather together or let you sprawl out when alone.

You can opt for two-seater or three-seater sofas. And there are several different looks you can go for from plush and luxurious fabric couches to elegant leather pieces. Brands such as G Plan Upholstery, Parker Knoll and Lazboy offer a full range of suites from L-shaped classics to reclining chairs that will let you relax in full.

Food for thought in the dining room

A new dining table is sure to wow your guests.

A new dining room table and chairs is a great way to wow guests. You can opt for vintage sets or more modern minimalist ensembles. There’s classic oak collections, ceramic top tables and stylish leather chairs to choose from.

You could also consider a display unit filled with crystal wine glasses and whisky tumblers to add a touch of elegance to proceedings.
