People say a change is as good as a holiday and we could all use a holiday right about now! If, like many of us, you cannot just hop on a plane and go relax somewhere beachside with a coconut drink, then read on and find 10 amazingly affordable ways to enhance your home décor.

1. Mirror, Mirror on the Wall…

Adding a mirror can really open your space up by optimizing the natural lighting. Mirrors capture the natural light and project it into the darker corners of a room. Mirrors, when placed correctly, can make the room appear bigger by creating playful textural and spatial illusions. Hence I would recommend this as one of the best affordable home decor enhancement and you should definitely try it out.

2. Scatter Some Love

Scatter cushions are an easy upgrade for your sofa or bed, there are so many fabrics available that finding one to suit your own unique style personality with be as easy as pie. I highly recommend ones with feather inners, simply because they keep their plump shape for longer.

3. Patio Perfection

When decorating your home, don’t forget about the patio or porch. We spend so much time outside when the weather permits that it would be a shame to overlook this space. Upgrade your backyard with these products for an instant update to a drab old look. Bring in greenery to add serenity to your area.

4. Multipurpose Shelving

Add bookshelves for more than just books – add a planter with your favourite burst of greenery, or a framed picture of your loved ones, for an updated look that won’t break the bank.

5. Find the Right Rug

Rugs open a world of design possibilities and they serve a practical purpose too. Available in literally any colour and style and in a wide variety of shapes and sizes, finding the perfect rug for your space is easier than you might think.

6. Accessories Work Magic

As easy as it is to change your hairstyle with the seasons, you can just as easily add a few well-placed accessories to your home and revive a tired space. Add a vase or a magnifying glass, play around with plants or add wall hangings to rejuvenate your room.

7. Add a Splash of Colour

Adding a DIY backsplash can completely change the look of your kitchen or bathroom relatively cheaply. If you don’t have the time for mosaic tiling, consider adding a fresh coat of paint in vivid color for an updated feel in less than half the time.

8. Donate the Old

Updating the look and feel of your home décor doesn’t have to cost a cent. Get rid of anything old or outdated that you no longer love. If it doesn’t make you happy as soon as you see it then donate it (within reason – you should probably keep your husband and kids…).

9. Revamp Your Walls

Add a coat of fresh paint to an old and tired space for an updated look in an afternoon. Alternatively, get some gorgeous wallpaper to brighten up your walls with trendy patterns and textures.

10. Light Up Your Life

Add a statement pendant or chandelier to your dreary old living room to instantly breathe new life into the space. This is a great way to make your home look more expensive without it costing you an arm and a leg.
