  It’s amazing how much difference you can make to your home by spending a minimum amount of dosh!  A nice throw-over on that old armchair, a few scatter cushions, a different lamp shade; these are all inexpensive ways to give your rooms an even cosier and far more original look.

  Some people will buy up old furniture from second hand shops and then apply several hours of loving care.  A little sanding and re-varnishing can do wonders for shabby tables or chairs and it is also a very rewarding task; they will certainly have far more character than brand new items!

  You can also find plenty of inexpensive curtains and Velux blinds if you restrict your choice to the bargain section.  It is surprising how many nice designs can be found cheaply just because they do not fit in with the latest styles!

  Besides, it is so much nicer if your home is a little bit different to everyone else’s.  So many homes tend to have the same old selection of items.  Isn’t it nicer to have furniture and fittings that are not the same as everyone else in your street?
