Transforming the look and atmosphere of your home can be a rewarding experience. Adding decorations, re-arranging furniture and perhaps doing a bit of repainting are all part of the plan.

Even the smallest touches can completely revitalise your living space. And you can make this happen with budget-friendly ideas.

Check out these tips on jazzing up your home for less.

Green is in.


Spruce up your home by bringing the outside indoors. We’re talking about plants. Not only do they add a more relaxed and rustic appearance to your home, but they also help purify the air.

Don’t have a green thumb? Not a problem. There are plenty of low-maintenance plants that thrive indoors.

Monstera Deliciosa and the ZZ plant are highly recommended. Both plants have pretty and uniquely shaped leaves. You also only need to water them once a week. All they need is a spot that receives bright to medium indirect light. Get both at Amazon.

Turn plates into wall art.


Paintings and art prints can be expensive. Hanging plates on your wall is a cheaper way to add a chic touch to your home. Unused china plates and dainty plates with decorative designs will make good decors.

If you have used and slightly chipped plates, you can even paint them yourself or with an inspirational quote to add a quirky twist.

Secure it with an invisible wall plate hanger and get this floral porcelain plate from H&M Home. When pay in 4 online with Zilch, you’ll only pay £1.75 on your first instalment and pay the rest in 3 more instalments over 6 weeks, all with 0 interest.

Aromatherapy helps reduce stress levels. Having a scented candle corner in your home will not only create a more relaxing ambience, but it will also make your home look more elegant.

You can set up your candle corner in your living room and light them up while you meditate or do yoga. Or put them in your bedroom to help you sleep better. You can also put them in the bathroom and light them up while having a hot bath and listening to music.
