Also, you breathe life into your worn-out couches and chairs by getting them reupholstered. This easily turns something old into something new and usually costs much less than most people realize. An added benefit of reupholstering your furniture is that you don’t need to take out a home equity loan or max out your credit cards to upgrade a room. Additionally, if you are on a budget, then simply tackle one piece at a time.

Whatever you do, resist the urge to get posters or generic, mass-produced pieces to hang on your walls. After all, we are talking about your home, not your high school bedroom.
