Nobody should ever be deterred from planning or beginning an interior design project due to a lack of budget. Learning to create your own soft furnishings can be a lucrative hobby, and even enjoyable, giving you the opportunity to create totally unique and personal items.
It’s also possible to change an entire room’s atmosphere and style by making small and affordable changes. A fresh lick of paint, new curtains, or a new set of ornaments can totally change how your home looks and feels for you. Planning is by far the most important part of this, so you can be sure that you have the budget available and that you’re going to fall in love with your new interior design.
Here are ten wonderful and inspiring examples of rooms that have been decorated entirely on a very small budget. Take a look for inspiration and ideas to update your own home style:

5. Reupholstering Furniture
You can reupholster sofas and chairs in your living room to update the colour and texture. It’s cheaper than buying new, and you can keep furniture you’ve loved for years.
