It’s never the right time for renovations. You have things to do, places to go, and people to see. You can’t afford to have one or more of the rooms in your house out of commission. Plus,  you usually have better things to spend your money on. But what if you didn’t have to spend a lot of money and all the renovations you needed would involve online shopping and a nail? Well, it’s possible. Here is how.

Sofa covers

You don’t have to buy all new couches and recliners to give your living room a new look. There are plenty of online stores that sell universal covers that can fit any couch or armchair. They are cheap, machine washable, and can also make up for any torn or worn-out upholstery. These covers have rubber hemlines (just like a fitted sheet), making them easy to drape over your pre-existing furniture.

Pillowcases

We’re going to go out on a limb here and guess your living room already has pillows. But you don’t have to get all new ones to freshen things up a little. You can simply get new pillowcases and watch your old pillows come to life. The main advantage of getting a case is that they are cheaper and easier to clean. Plus, you can get a bunch of patterns and styles and play around with different options.

Wall art

Local markets and local artists are usually happy to put their names out there without charging the price a well-established artist would normally take. Scroll through Instagram and Pinterest to find the ones that best suit your personal taste and mount it on the desired wall. An even cheaper option will also send you shopping online — this time for wall decals. This option is affordable and it doesn’t require any hammer or nails. Score!
