Search for good deals

More expensive doesn’t have to mean better

Super expensive does not necessarily mean much better, so before making any purchase, first determine the priorities on which you should not save and what you should not spend a lot on.

For example, set aside more money for a quality and comfortable bed and mattress, but save on decorative items such as shelves or pillows that you will make yourself. Simply change your perspective and the way you look at things, imagine what you see in the store in a different role because that way you get something of your own, unique and for little money.

Remember, you can always do some DIY and recycling. Below are some ideas:

Installations and other alternative materials should be your choice

Great savings can be achieved if you are looking for alternative materials that are not the first choice for home use. In this way, the electric hoses can serve as floor moldings, but also as an economical move, namely through them it is possible to pass installations for gas, heating and electricity. In this way, since it is an effective red color, an aesthetic play of lines is created through the apartment, in addition, the sleeves with the addition of a ceramic neck and large bulbs become very effective chandeliers.

The kitchen furniture on a budget

Appliances and existing kitchen elements can be easily integrated within a whole that does not require buying a kitchen or making custom elements by covering them with a worktop and merging them into one modular element. Everything you need is in one piece and can be pulled out as needed.

Tight budget can lead to another interesting idea – instead of investing in hanging kitchen elements, you can draw the shape of each pot on the wall with an ordinary waterproof felt-tip pen, hammer in a nail and hang kitchen utensils. In this way, the effect of the puzzle is achieved aesthetically, and besides, there is no crowd because every dish has its place.

Living room

The shelf for the living room can be made by stacking ordinary bricks and rolls for plotting. Brick serves as a skeleton on which compacted and glued rolls are stacked, the strength of which can withstand a large load.

You can replace the glass on the door with cheaper plexiglass, whose function is not only economical but also aesthetic, because plexiglass comes in a whole range of colors. And in the end, you save up quite a lot on things like wall décor.

Bathroom

You can make the elements in the bathroom yourself from concrete. It is necessary to make a design and pour the concrete formwork, and voila you have yourself a bathtub. Although it requires some skills, it’s worth having such a piece in your bathroom.

And in this case, a perfectly aesthetic and inexpensive solution determined the external appearance of the bathroom, instead of ceramic tiles all the elements can be painted in a ship’s color that is waterproof and durable to all external influences. The walls can be covered instead of ceramic tiles with cement tile adhesive that is varnished with boat varnish in three layers.

 Choose second hand

Your home furniture is one of the reasons why you love your home. Furniture is an accessory that makes your living space complete and helps you enjoy the comfort of your home with style. Since furniture makes up the majority of our home, we often cannot change it as often as we would like. Instead of saving, why not buy second-hand furniture? At times it turns out cheaper to buy second hand and then restore it. Moreover, you can find better quality furniture than what you would buy in stores that sell new pieces. If restored properly, it can last for ages.

In the end, having a tight budget only means you have to calculate your expenditures before you go shopping, know which item you want to spend money on, and stick to it. Despite the fact that you may be buying second-hand furniture, you can still easily get carried away when you find the perfect pieces! Just be sure to keep track of how many items you have added to the home list, and don’t go beyond it.
