Easy Ways to Update Your Home on a Budget

The spaces we create in our lives can really change the way we feel. The spaces we live in can influence moods and feelings. When we are in a space, it can inspire us or make us feel relaxed. In some cases, when a space is poorly designed, it can feel chaotic and disorderly and make us feel more anxious. This is why it’s important to really put effort into designing a space that makes us and our guests feel our best. At Starr Dumpsters, we’ve put together a few tips on how you can design a comfortable space without reaching too deep into your wallet. We provide a variety of dumpster services to help you in your home redesign and declutter journey. If you would like to learn more or schedule a dumpster rental, get in touch with our team today!

Freshen Up the Paint

One way to bring life into a space is the color theme we choose. When the walls, furniture, and accessories are all in sync, the space can feel more put together and easy on the eyes. You may want to choose a new color to match your new design idea or freshen up the existing color already on your walls. This will give a newer, cleaner look to the walls and make it feel fresh. Once the walls are done, add art or photographs to add a more personal touch to the space. Adding textures like mini rugs can also add a warmth to the space. You may want to add art that is in line with the color scheme of your space so it doesn’t feel too busy.

Install Energy Efficient Appliances

When you’re updating your home on a budget, installing appliances that are energy efficient can make a difference over time. Using such appliances is also more environmentally friendly, helping us contribute what little we can to leaving a better planet for the younger generation. You may want to sell your older appliances or throw them out. When you have big furniture or appliances that need to be thrown away, a dumpster rental from Starr Dumpsters can be an affordable, easy, and convenient way to get rid of them.

Update Kitchen Cabinets

One drastic change we can make in any room, especially the kitchen space, is by updating the cabinets. It’s a simple DIY project that may just take a day. Taking apart the cabinets, sanding them down and repainting can make them look like new and cost very little. If you’d rather take them down and install new ones, throw the older cabinets into your dumpster rental and let us worry about taking it away. In this way, a dumpster rental can help save time and money.

New Lighting Solutions

Lighting can make or break the ambiance of a room. Picking the right kind of lighting can transform a dark, cramped room into one that is vibrant and uplifting. Ideally, using as much natural light as possible will not only be easier on the eyes but can save energy and material costs. Choosing curtains that compliment daylight instead of blocking it out completely can help bring in as much natural light as possible. Choosing light fixtures that match the theme of your overall design is another budget friendly way to bring the entire space together. If you’re ready to throw out your old lighting accessories to make room for more energy efficient lighting, we’ll help take the old clutter away.
