There are many home improvement shows on TV these days that can show you how to make stylish changes to your home living spaces, but many of the wonderful ideas shown are simply not practical or affordable for those home owners on a tight budget.

However there are a number of ways in which you can update and refresh the decor in your home for very little money, and all you need is a few basic supplies from the DIY store and plenty of creativity and imagination.

Fresh Coat of Paint
If your living spaces are looking a little drab and dull then a fresh coat of paint can really brighten up a room and add a whole new atmosphere.  If you are on a really tight budget then just concentrate on the ceilings and paintwork, and use a coat of brilliant white matt on the ceilings and architraves, and a coat of white gloss on skirting boards, window frames and doorways.

If you have a bit more money to spend you could also try painting the walls in a new, fresh colour as well.
