Remnant Carpet

The best possible way to change the look of the floor or carpet with the least amount of cost is to cover it up with a remnant carpet. Most people are not aware of what a remnant carpet is or purchase one. Carpet stores will usually have various pieces of carpet that are left over from jobs, or extra carpet on the bolt. You can make these carpet pieces into an area rug in any shape and size to fit a room. Most remnant carpets are very inexpensive to purchase and are of a good quality.
Paint a Room or a Wall
Yellow painted walls
Paint is relatively inexpensive and can be a do-it-yourself project. The look of the room will dramatically improve when it is freshly painted. Many times a larger room will have one wall that stands out as the accent wall and this wall can be painted a different color while the rest of the room stays the same. Another option is to place a chair rail around the room and paint the lower or upper half of the room. Paint is available in many beautiful colors and finishes and many paint stores offer color combination suggestions to take the guesswork out of choosing different paint colors for the whole house.
Personal Photos and Artwork
Picture frame
A simple picture can be transformed into an art piece and placed on the wall with the right frame. Most art stores carry separate mats and frames for do-it-yourself framing projects. This idea will also work for a picture that has been downloaded from a computer and glued onto cardboard as a do-it-yourself art piece. Artwork and personal photos will add a touch of style and color to any wall in your home.
