Declutter
Before you start thinking of what you should buy, see if you can clear out any damaged, old, or unnecessary clutter to start with a clean slate. Before you bin anything, consider donating to your local op shop to avoid landfill waste.
Get crafty
Don’t throw out anything yet, see if you can breathe new life into it with a fresh coat of paint. Head down to your local hardware store for the essentials so you have all the tools you need to start flipping furniture.
Rearrange
Make the most of the space by rearranging your furniture to make the room feel new. If you’re limited by the position of the power points in the room, try using an extension cord that can secure against the skirting boards, this way you can freely move appliances around the room.
Op shop
Head to your local op shop or discount furniture warehouse for hidden gems. You’ll be surprised at what you may find. Even try second-hand shopping online via Facebook Market Place or Gumtree, you’ll be able to view multiple listings without leaving your couch. Try to find the sweet spot in between being too critical and compromising on quality, you can find some hidden gems if you have a keen eye.
Online shopping

Green thumb
Liven up your living space with potted plants that are easy to maintain. Take a few clippings from your backyard or off friends, place in a pot with mulch and water as needed. Before you know it, your home will be feeling and looking fresh. If plants aren’t your thing, you can still add colour with faux plants, and they require no effort at all.
