Redecorate your home on a budget

A good place to start is with cushions, which can be bought relatively cheaply from your local Spotlight store. If you find ones that have removable covers, you can change the look of your home every couple of months, by using a different coloured cushion throughout the lounge and bedrooms. The same can be done with throw rugs, which can be placed over a lounge or chair to add a different colour scheme to a room. If you’re handy with the sewing machine, why not try whipping up a few cushion covers and matching curtains that you can change with the seasons? By purchasing the material yourself, you’ll be able to pick the exact pattern to suit your home. And remember, when all else fails, a vase of flowers fresh from your garden can bring a refreshing change to any space.
