Cherie Barber, an Australian renovation expert who blogs at Renovating for Profit, has shared her top ten tight budget renovation tips to make your property look like a million bucks, all without breaking the bank.
1. Start cheap. Find the cheapest ways to get huge bang for your buck. A coat of paint works wonders.
2. Get rid of worn out carpet. Low cost laminate can cover an entire house for around $2500 AUD.
3. Dress up your windows. Off-the-shelf blinds are far more economical than bespoke ones.
4. Light it up. Good lighting not only shows off your other new design choices, but it can also make a wow statement of its own.
5. Kitchen and bathroom renovations add huge bang for your buck.
6. Bulk and scale. Bigger moldings and baseboards look better than skinny ones.
7. Curb appeal. The outside of your house is the first thing people see. Make it look great. Trim bushes, weed flower beds, etc.
8. Use a tinted render on the outside of your home if you don’t want to paint.
9. If you have a clothesline in your yard, move it to a more discreet location.
10. Consider adding on a deck. If it’s small enoughh, it may not need council approval.

Key Takeaways:

• Not every home transformation has to be big-budget, a repainting in a neutral palette can be a great refresher.
• Simply sanding and polishing your natural wood floors will add gloss and lots of beauty to your home.
• Changes in lighting fixtures are generally not too expensive and can significantly transform a room.
