Budget-Friendly Tips to Brighten Your Home

By Mark Spain Real Estate

A bright space can transform any home, but what is it going to cost you? Little tricks here and there to transform your home are more affordable than you might think. Here are our top budget-friendly tips to help brighten and open up your home.

Declutter and Organize, a Budget Friendly Tip

Choose a weekend and take a morning or afternoon to get rid of items and decoration that clutter your home. Having a hard time choosing what stays and what goes? It may be time to part with that antique clock collection. Are your closets about to overflow? Consider taking some time to collect the items you don’t wear anymore to donate. Even a few items in disarray can turn a bright room into an eyesore. Keep things tidy and organized around the house and your home will feel more open right away.

Diversify Your Wall Color

A fresh coat of paint can make a world of difference. A light wall color will make your home seem clear and polished. Don’t feel like you have to limit yourself to simply white or off-white. Lighter blues, tans, yellows, purples and greens can add an airy feel as well. Take it a step further with a gloss or satin paint finish. Reflective finishes such as these will illuminate a room even more.

Top budget friendly tips to help brighten and open up your home.

Brighten with Natural Light

It doesn’t cost a thing to push back your curtains and open your blinds. Natural light can brighten any home in an instant. Is natural light limited in your space? Think about curtain choice. Sheer curtains easily allow light to shine through. Additionally, make sure your windows are clean and clear to help draw in as much luminosity as possible.

Incorporate Plants

Indoor plants add life to any room, literally. A lush, green plant can brighten a space as well as add a much-needed pop of color. Don’t have much of a green thumb? Try some low-maintenance plants like peace lilies, pothos plants or English ivy. Succulents like Aloe Vera, jade, Echeveria and the zebra plant are also easy to care for and grow indoors.

Consider Furniture Placement

With the right tricks, you can easily create the illusion of a more open space. Think about your furniture placement. Move your furniture to the edge of the room just a few inches away from the wall to make the wall appear farther away and the room bigger. Additionally, keep furniture away from entrances and windows to expand a room even more

Decorate with Mirrors

Reflective surfaces give the illusion of depth and brightness. Mirrors are a great way to effortlessly extend and brighten a room. The bigger the mirror, the more space it will appear to create. Mount it lengthways to elongate the room and lend the best results. Play with the placement of the mirror in the room to optimize natural light and create a budget friendly look.

Consider these budget-friendly steps and in no time your home will feel open and bright. Your home is a reflection of your personal style, so have fun with it!
