If you feel that your home needs an overhaul or that it is looking out dated then you may find that the costs quickly spiral when you start to add up all the materials you will need.

Sometimes you can completely change the look and feel of a room, by some cheap DIY fixes. Below are a few examples:

Cushion covers – these can be replaced for as little as a few pounds each but can help tie in your colour scheme.

Throws – if your sofas are looking a little tatty or old fashioned then why not invest in a few throws to go over them. This will allow you to give the sofa a whole new look and they are easy to clean if required.

Doors – Doors can quickly become tatty with holes, dents and general dirt. Replacing doors or sanding down and repainting existing ones can really brighten up an entrance.
