Here's some quick and inexpensive ways to update your home without breaking the bank!*Curtains
*Paint
*Shelves
*Accessories
I also included some great ways to do this, even if your not crafty yourself.
This shelf, from Etsy.com is a great way to update a child's bedroom or playroom with a vibrant and fun color for summer. You can do this yourself by painting the bookshelf and attaching wallpaper, drawer liner or just cute paper to the inside with spray adhesive. Most shelves can be found at garage sales, flea markets, craigslist or even Etsy.com, like this one.Shelf Info: PourToujours at Etsy.com, $80
Updating old furniture with new fabric and reupholstering is a great way to give your stuff a new look and relatively inexpensively. If you pick the fabric yourself, it's a great DIY project that you can take credit for, and most places sell fabric for much less than buying it full price at a furniture store. This particular ottoman is made by TooFriendsShop for just $180.
These curtains, from Urban Outfitters, are just $34. What a steal! I love the cute graphic print, and the colors work in a wide variety of rooms, with paint colors that are cool or warm. It would be great for an office, stationary room or a room that needs creativity.
This chair, which I think is fabulous is $600 from buythehourinteriors on Etsy.com. I love the mix of the patterns between the chair and the pillows. A great way to update an old chair is not only to reupholster it, but update it with a throw and/or some great pillows. The mix of patterns only keeps it updated to modern design today.
