Change your decor this spring without breaking the bank

Spring is coming and apart from the big clean-up, we are mostly looking for change: to bring freshness to a room, to bathe it in new colours... Sometimes, even often, the budget is not decided to follow. Our tips for redecorating with the least amount of money possible.

Focus on accessories

A new pair of curtains and matching cushions: if you also rearrange your room, you'll feel like you're in a brand new living room. This is the first step in decorating on a budget. You can also wander around your town looking for attractive posters to put on the walls.

Do you know what DIY is?

Of course, this requires a little imagination and sometimes elbow grease. Nevertheless, "do it yourself" is trendy and allows you to redo your decoration with a (very) small budget. You can, for example, sand and repaint one or two pieces of furniture, create a lamp, divert objects, in short, give yourself a real treat. And if you're short of ideas, the Internet is full of specialised sites and tutorials.

Recycling and garage sales

Another trend, due to the vintage wave, is recuperation: yes, you can create tables, sofas, etc., with recuperated pallets (and a certain sense of DIY). Or you can go and rummage around in grandma's attic to find that armchair or that charming console that has been sleeping there for years. And don't forget, the good times are coming and with them come the yard sales. They are not only an opportunity for a nice (morning) stroll, but also to find the decorative object of your dreams.

Long live painting!

It is also clear that the arrival of spring signals a great desire for colour. So don't deprive yourself! Today's DIY stores are full of paints for all surfaces, wood, walls, tiles... If you feel like changing the tone of your bathroom, nothing could be easier, you can even tackle the bathtub!
