How to Revamp Your Living Room for Less Than £250
Revamp Your Living Room for Under £250 - Budget-Friendly Makeover Tips
Revamping your living room doesn’t have to break the bank. With a budget of just £250, you can breathe new life into your space, making it more comfortable, stylish, and inviting. Here are some savvy and stylish tips to help you transform your living room on a budget.
1. Prioritise Colour and Paint
A fresh coat of paint is one of the most cost-effective ways to transform any room. Choose a colour that complements your furniture and fits the mood you want to set. Soft, neutral colours can make the room feel larger and more open, while bold colours can add drama and depth. For a budget of around £30-£50, you can purchase enough paint to cover a standard living room.
2. Update Your Soft Furnishings.
Cushions, throws, and curtains can change the look of your living room without requiring a large investment. Look for sales or clearance items at home decor stores, or try your hand at DIY if you're crafty. You can often find good quality fabrics at discount prices, which you can turn into custom covers or curtains. This could cost anywhere from £30 to £100 depending on your choices.
3. Incorporate Thrifted or Upcycled Furniture
Thrift stores, charity shops, and online marketplaces are treasure troves for second-hand furniture that can be transformed with a little TLC. Look for pieces with good bones like solid wood tables or chairs and refinish them to suit your style. Sanding and staining a coffee table or reupholstering a chair can make an old piece new for under £50.
4. Add Greenery
Plants not only bring life to your living room but also improve the air quality. Opt for low-maintenance indoor plants such as snake plants, pothos, or spider plants. You can find these for between £5 and £20 per plant, and stylish pots can be picked up from budget stores or second-hand.
5. Rearrange Your Layout
Sometimes, all a room needs is a fresh layout. Experiment with different furniture arrangements to find a new perspective that works better for your space. This is completely free and can make a significant difference in how your living room feels and functions.
6. Focus on Lighting
Lighting can dramatically affect the mood of a room. Consider changing out old lampshades or adding new light fixtures. Floor and table lamps can create a cosy, layered lighting effect. Look for sales at lighting stores, or repurpose lamps by painting the base or buying new shades. This can typically be done for under £30.
7. Discover the Charm of "Unloved" Rugs
Our selection of "unloved" rugs offers an excellent opportunity to add a unique touch to your living room.

8. Accessorise Creatively
Finally, accessories like artwork, mirrors, and decorative pieces can be used to personalize your space. Create a gallery wall with family photos or thrifted frames, or add a large mirror to make the room feel larger and brighter. Even small decorative items like candles, books, or vases can add a touch of personality to your living room.
Conclusion
Revamping your living room for under £250 is definitely achievable with a bit of creativity and resourcefulness.
