Renovating your home doesn't have to be a huge job. With a few simple steps you can breathe new life into your living environment and create a fresh, inviting atmosphere. Discover five easy and budget-friendly tips to freshen up your home without costing a fortune.

1 - Renew your lighting

Lighting can drastically change the atmosphere in any room. Replace old lampshades with new, trendy models and consider energy-efficient LED bulbs for a bright, warm glow. Add some strategically placed floor lamps or wall lamps to brighten up dark corners. You will see that good mood lighting does a lot for your living feeling!

When considering lighting, also consider your outdoor space. Happlify Crew member Enjoythesun has a beautiful collection for this solar lighting and enchanting garden decoration!

2 - Color on the wall

A lick of paint can do wonders for the appearance of your home. Choose light, neutral colors to create a spacious and airy feeling. Also consider accent walls in bold colors for a playful touch. Don't forget to update small details like door frames and baseboards for a complete transformation.

3 - Add greenery to your interior

Bring nature indoors with some well-placed houseplants. Plants purify the air and add a touch of freshness to any room. Choose easy-to-maintain plants such as sansevieria or ferns for a green accent that requires little effort.
