Enhancing your decor need not be an expensive task. Here are a few tips on refreshing your home without denting your bank balance.

The easiest way to change the look of your space is to shift stuff around the place. You can shift the location of the furniture such as tables or chairs. Plan the placement in advance so that you don’t end up lifting heavy items too many times.
A basic stool can be transformed to a table. Keep a flower vase on it and the other basic look can be kept simple.
If you have lot of collectibles such as rocks, decorative beads, vintage jewellery, etc, flaunt them on the wall or in a shadow box. You can also frame tickets of sports or award shows you attended with date and time. This gives a nostalgic feel to the space.
Make interesting patterns with origami papers and stick them on walls. Alternatively, you can paste them on your refrigerator. Use bold colours to make the installation stand out.
Create a coffee table using books that you have already read. Just place them in the centre of the house and feel the difference. It gives a unique dimension to the space.
Add freshness to your space by painting a picture frame or bookshelf if you have one. One point to note here is stay away from painting everything lying around. Just paint the things you want to highlight.
Place your silver cutlery in mason jars. This gives a refreshing look and feel to the space.
You can get your wicker furniture that normally stays outdoors indoors. These are excellent for a party or to spend some time with family or friends.
