Have you been thinking of remodeling your home but couldn't find the right time to do so? Most of us are staying home due to the coronavirus outbreak; why not utilize this time to renovate.

A great way to draw inspiration and motivate yourself to focus on remodeling your living spaces is to examine the work done by some of the world's most renowned interiors designers. Not only do their visual feats, but also quotes from them have an inspiring effect on us. Let us see what some of these designers have to say-

"If you want a golden rule that will fit everything, this is it: Have nothing in your houses that you do not know to be useful or believe to be beautiful" - William Morris.

"For a house to be successful, the objects in it must communicate with one another, respond and balance one another"- Andrée Putman.

"The home should be the treasure chest of living"- Le Corbusier.

When you think of renovating, you start with making small changes, but enthusiasm gets the better of you within no time. That's when you realize that you ended up with a huge bill to pay off for even the things you may not need. To avoid budget problems and at the same time have the house of your dreams, you have to think of budget-friendly ways to remodel.

This article gives a roundup of a few budget-friendly ideas to execute in your home improvement project-

1. Replace old flooring with paint- Are you bored of looking at those old flooring tiles? Why not change them by painting. Painting your floors with durable floor paints not only saves you some money but also looks beautiful. To avoid the cost of removing the existing flooring, you can paint tile floors with the color and patterns of your choice. With simple DIY solutions, you can create various finishes, from matte to a more cheerful design. 

What are you waiting for? Roll up your sleeves and put on your painter's hat.

2. Get rid of anything you don't use- The number one rule to make your home attractive and easy to maintain is having only the stuff you will use. If you haven't decluttered your space, it can be a daunting task but don't get demotivated. Start by a tiny drawer and go one room at a time. By the end of this task, you will not only get rid of everything that you are not using, but it will also save you some space. You never know; maybe a few of the items you plan to throw might be handy in decorating your home.

3. Reuse- Instead of spending money buying new furniture to remodel your homes, consider what you already have at home and see if you can reuse them. For example, you may have excess worn-out clothes or are of no use to you. Why not use this fabric to decorate any corner of your house or make some DIY wall decor hangings with it.

4. Pay attention to small details- Another great idea to transform your living space is to consider the smallest details inside your house. Develop some creative ways to play around with them. For example, small things like the knobs of your kitchen cabinets can be changed with very minimal cost.

5. Make your walls look attractive- Apart from painting your walls, you can also buy removable wallpaper, which not only adds a fresh look to your home but is also easy to install and comes at a lower price. Affordable sticky tiles are also a great option. There are plenty of DIY options you can find on the internet to help you create a beautiful feature out of an ordinary wall.

6. Lighting is essential- No matter how many changes you make, poor lighting can ruin the entire look of your house. A great tip to achieve good lighting is buying an overhead light at an affordable price and then considering buying some simple floor and table lamps.

7. Invest in affordable yet pretty accessories- Along with lighting, your living space needs some accessories, which can completely change the feel and look. Candles, cushions, trays, artworks, the list goes on and on. You can get all of these accessories within your budget, or you may also use some DIY tips online and make your accessories. Decorating your living space with

stunning accessories will also cover some flaws on pieces that have been lying in your house.

8. Embrace the work you have done- One key point to keep in mind while working with a budget and a time constraint is, it often becomes challenging to make sure everything is perfect. Due to the allocation of funding and maybe not enough time, you may not get everything perfect while setting up your house. You need to let go of a few things even if they are not how you wanted them to be. The key here is to love and embrace whatever changes you have made with the limited resources available to you.
