Are you itching to freshen up your living room after a few years of living in but are worried about the budget? Redesigning your living room doesn't have to be expensive! In this post, we'll share some ideas on how you can give your living room a fresh look without breaking the bank. Plus, we'll showcase some aesthetic wallpapers that will add personality and style to your space. So if you're ready to give your living room a makeover, read on to get inspired!
Tip #1: ‘Shop’ in your own home first
Before heading to the store, take some time to go through your belongings and see if there's anything you can repurpose or rearrange in your living room. Maybe that old dresser could be used as a TV stand or those extra throw pillows can add some pop of colour to your couch. Getting creative with what you already have can not only save you money, but also add a unique touch to your space. Plus, it's a great opportunity to declutter and potentially donate any items that you no longer need or want.
Tip #2: Rearrange Your Existing Furniture
One simple way to refresh your living room is by rearranging your furniture. This can completely change the look and feel of the space without having to purchase new items.
Start by measuring each piece of furniture and creating a rough sketch of your living room layout on paper. Then, play around with different arrangements until you find one that suits your style and meets your functional needs. Don't be afraid to move furniture from different rooms or get creative with multi-purpose pieces.
If you're feeling stuck, try bringing in a friend for an extra set of eyes or search online for inspiration!
Tip #3: Add Wallpaper for Visual Interest
If you're looking to redesign your living room on a budget, wallpaper is a great way to make a big impact without breaking the bank. Wallpaper can be used to create focal points, or simply add personality and style to any space.
When choosing wallpaper for your living room, it's important to consider the overall aesthetic you're hoping to achieve. Do you want something bold and eye-catching, or something more subdued and classic? Here at Hello Circus, we have endless options available, so take some time to browse through different wallpaper designs until you find the perfect match for your space.
Tip #4: Accessorise Away
Adding new accessories is an easy way to refresh your living room without spending too much. Consider swapping out throw pillows or blankets for a new pop of colour, or try hanging up some new wall art or photographs. You could also bring in fresh flowers or plants to add some life to the space. If you want to go bigger, think about investing in a new coffee table or end tables. Have fun with it and make it your own!
Tip #5: Old is Gold
One man’s trash is another’s treasure. Consider shopping at thrift stores or online marketplaces as they often have unique, one-of-a-kind furniture and decor items at a fraction of the cost. Plus, purchasing pre-loved items helps reduce waste and supports sustainability efforts.
Here are some useful tips when it comes to shopping for thrift items:
- Before shopping, make a list of any necessary furniture and decor items you may need. This will help keep you focused and on budget while browsing.
- Visit multiple thrift shops or search online marketplaces to compare prices and find the best deals. Don't be afraid to negotiate with the seller for even lower prices, especially if the item is slightly damaged and can be easily fixed.
- Get creative with your purchases and think outside the box. An old dresser can become a modern media console with a fresh coat of paint, or a vintage rug can add personality to your space.
Here are some of our favourite go-to thrift shops and online marketplaces in Singapore:
With some thrift shop finds and a little imagination, you can effortlessly redesign your living room on a budget. Happy shopping!
