$\"\"$ There is no denying the beauty of spring. The flowers are blooming, the sun is shining, and the air is cool and breezy. Often, this weather stirs people to make their homes feel as fresh as the air outside. A little change is good now and again, and maybe this season will push you to refresh your home too!<\/p>\n

Refreshing your home does not have to be a big expensive project though. There are many ways to reimagine your apartment without breaking the bank. We have come up with a list of ways that you can make your home feel fresh and new for spring without spending your entire paycheck on new decor. <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Here are 5 great ways to refresh your apartment on a budget:<\/h2>\n

<\/h3>\n

Declutter<\/h3>\n
Take some time and declutter each room of your apartment. Throw out old notes and papers that no longer serve a purpose and organize what remains. Removing anything that is unnecessary from a drawer, room, or home is a great way to realize how much space you have to work with, making this a great step before you begin any kind of project in your home.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n

Thorough Cleaning<\/h3>\n
While this might not be the most exciting task, giving your apartment a deep clean with all of your windows open is a really great way to begin refreshing your living space. Plus, if you follow these steps in order, you have already decluttered, so most of the mess is gone already! The fresh air will make your rooms smell like spring, and your apartment will feel brand new. Give some of these cleaning hacks<\/a> a try, and just see how much more pleasant your home is afterward!<\/p>\n

Rearrange Your Furniture<\/h3>\n
When was the last time you moved things around in your home? For most people it has probably been quite a while. Try moving your bed to a different wall, or placing a large vase from your living room in your entryway. Placing furniture from a different room in a new space could lead to more ideas on how to revamp your apartment without having to go to the store. When it comes to refreshing on a budget, it is always best to start with what you already have!

New Throw Pillows<\/h3>\n
You do not have to completely redecorate a room in order to make it feel new. New throw pillows for your living room are a great way to reinvent your style without making a major financial investment. And adding a new element to the room will give you the satisfaction of seeing your taste displayed in a new way. You could even buy pillow inserts and covers, so you only have to replace the pillow cover the next time you want to change your decor again!
\n <\/p>\n
New Bedding<\/h3>\n
New bedding does not necessarily mean new sheets, pillows, duvets, etc. Maybe you use jersey or flannel sheets in the winter for extra warmth, or maybe you keep an extra blanket or two on the bed to give a super cozy vibe. Swap your winter sheets for cotton and that super plush blanket for a lighter, more decorative, throw. You could even opt for new throw pillows for your bed too!
\n <\/p>\n
Plants<\/h3>\n
Now, plants can be quite expensive, so consider planting from seeds or asking your friends with plants if they would be willing to let you propagate their plants. Propagating plants is as simple as trimming off an offshoot of the existing plant, letting that trimmed piece soak in a vase of water, and planting once the offshoot has grown roots of its own. This method works best for plants like pothos or philodendron, which are also super easy to care for. The new greenery in your apartment will give your home a lush, natural feel. Your plants will also help filter the surrounding air, so you will be breathing in fresher air!<\/p>\n
If you don’t have a green thumb, and you would rather not mess around with real plants, consider getting some artificial ones instead. You can get very reasonably priced artificial plants from thrift stores, and you don’t have to remember to water them!
\n <\/p>\n
And there you have it, five steps for refreshing your home on a budget! Now your home is clean, reflects the season, and feels a little newer. The best part about these tips is that they can be altered depending on the time of year to refresh your home for different seasons. You would still want to declutter and deep clean first, but the other four steps can be modified for summer, autumn, and winter!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
