Ten ways to approach Interior Design on a budget
1. Plan and Prioritise
Before you start any redesign project, it's important to plan and prioritise. Make a list of what you want to achieve and set a budget. Focus on the areas that will have the biggest impact and tackle those first. We like to create a mood board with measurements for our clients so they can have a clear idea of space and the transformation they are about to undertake.
2. Shop Second-Hand
One of the best ways to save money on interior design is to shop second-hand. Thrift stores, flea markets, and online marketplaces are great places to find unique and affordable pieces. Look out for shapes that will make your space unique, look for furniture that can be painted or stained or even used for spare parts.
3. DIY Decor
Get creative and make your own decor. From painting furniture to creating wall art, there are plenty of DIY projects that can add a personal touch to your home without costing a fortune. In each room and wall think what will create an area of focus and then think of the lighting that you are using in that room.
4. Use Paint
A fresh coat of paint can transform a room without breaking the bank. Choose a colour that complements your existing decor and gives the space a new lease on life. If you are unhappy then you can change it again over the next few months.
5. Rearrange Furniture
Sometimes all it takes to refresh a room is to rearrange the furniture. Experiment with different layouts to find the one that works best for your space, and read our article on decluttering and organising.
6. Add Greenery
Plants are an affordable way to add life and colour to your home. Choose low-maintenance varieties that thrive indoors and place them in stylish pots, they bring life and vibrancy to any space.
7. Swap Out Accessories
Changing out accessories like cushions, rugs, and curtains can give a room a new look without a major investment. Look for budget-friendly options that complement your existing decor search the second hand shops and markets in Bristol near you.
8. Focus on Lighting
Good lighting can make a big difference in a room. Invest in affordable light fixtures and use a mix of ambient, task, and accent lighting to create a warm and inviting atmosphere.

Mirrors can make a small space feel larger and brighter. Look for budget-friendly options and place them strategically to reflect light and create the illusion of more space.
