Are you looking to give your home decor a refresh but living on a budget? You don't have to sacrifice style for price. Simple cosmetic touches like a fresh coat of paint or color accents can provide a fresh start without breaking the bank.

*Paint

"Never underestimate the power of paint, especially if you're willing to do it yourself," says Cristina Miguelez, a remodeling specialist for home remodeling website Fixr. "You can paint everything."

Miguelez loves budget decorating and appreciates the versatility of paint, including countertop paint, appliance paint, floor paint, and wall and ceiling paint. She suggests choosing one focal point in a room, such as a great throw rug or window covering, and then pulling an accent color from that item to use on an accent wall and instantly create a cohesive design. Next, use a color that sits next to that accent color on the color wheel and lighten it up as much as you can for a trim or ceiling paint. "This really brings things together but not in a dramatic way," she says.

Paint works for updating furniture and other household items, too. Interior designer Kayla Goldstein advises looking for secondhand items and revamping them with spray paint.

"I cannot tell you how many amazing finds I have found in thrift stores, garage sales and flea markets," she says. "Almost anything has potential, and spray paint is phenomenal in bringing it out. You can find items for $30 or less and spruce them up and reimagine them."

She advises investing in good-quality picture frames so you can dress up your walls with inexpensive artwork and photos, even creating your own gallery wall for a glam look.

*Details

Paying attention to details can have big impact. Consider replacing kitchen and bathroom cabinet hardware, like knobs and draw pulls, with a fresh, affordable alternative. Many of these accents start at a few dollars.

Arizona designer and Realtor James Judge recommends adding trim to your walls to enhance your space. For example, you can choose wainscoting for a classic look or add a grid pattern using basic 1-by-2-foot panels from a local hardware store.

"It's a great way to make the space visually appealing," says Judge, noting the whole project takes a few hours and costs under $100.

Throw rugs and runners can add visual appeal to the floor and warm up your place.

Lighting can add oomph as well. Judge recommends adding wall sconces in an office or bedroom to make the space cozier without adding clutter. Or simply replace lampshades. Also consider changing your light bulbs. "Sometimes we have a light that's too blue and yellow would make the room cozier, or the opposite," says Goldstein. "Make sure your light bulbs are light enough and the right degree of warmth for the use of the room."

*Accents

When it comes to accents like throw pillows, decide whether you want them to blend with the main color scheme of the room or add a bold pop of color that perhaps opposes the color scheme.

You can rotate decor accents as needed, being mindful to limit clutter. Add festive seasonal touches to your space like different pillows, blankets, candles, table decor, table runners, placemats and more. Even though these items aren't permanent, they add personality and allow you to experiment with colors, textures and patterns in small amounts.

These creative interior design updates are quick, easy and inexpensive yet impactful. Keeping your home decor refreshed and up to date will help you fall in love with your home all over again.
