Everyone wants their home to look beautiful and inviting, reflecting their taste and personality. However, many face the obstacle of budget constraints when it comes to decorating, especially those who purchase second-hand houses. But did you know that buying a second-hand house can be easier to modify and decorate to your liking than a new one? This is due to the older construction style, which often uses brick and plaster. For those on a tight budget who can't afford a major renovation, there's no need to worry. TerraBKK has some tips on how to decorate a second-hand house to make it look as good as new, tailored for budget-conscious individuals.

Choose a Cohesive Color Scheme for the Interior

            No matter how beautifully you decorate with furniture, if the walls are still worn and unattractive, it won't make your home look appealing. For those on a budget, consider painting the walls to give the interior a fresh, clean look. It's advisable to follow a color weight distribution of 60-30-10, which includes:

  • 60% main color of the house, usually a light shade to create a spacious feel and easily mix & match with other furniture.
  • 30% secondary color, which should be neutral tones.
  • 10% highlight color, which can be a bold or dark shade.

Install New Flooring

            Flooring is another crucial element that makes a home inviting. For those on a budget, consider using affordable materials like roll vinyl flooring. If you learn how to install it, you can do it yourself without needing a contractor. Choose a floor color that matches the walls, following the 60-30-10 rule as well.

Add Indoor Plants for Decoration

            Greenery is a magical color that helps rejuvenate both mood and body when feeling tired. Incorporating indoor plants not only enhances beauty but also creates a more pleasant atmosphere at home. Currently, popular indoor plants like Monstera and Rubber Trees are priced around 300-600 baht each.

Organize Your Home for Tidiness

            It's important to let go of any items in your home that no longer spark joy. Don't hesitate to discard them, as accumulated clutter only reduces space, creates disorder, and makes the home less inviting. Even if you try to redecorate, if the home remains disorganized, it won't achieve that fresh, new look.
