Minor Updates Can Give Your Home A Stunning New Look
With the cost of living increasing, it isn’t surprising that more homeowners are looking for budget-friendly home decorating solutions. The good news is that even small updates can give your home a stunning new look, and they needn’t break the bank.
The team at Properly want to share our low-cost, high-impact interior decorating tips so you can make the most of your home makeover budget.
Get Started With Some Dramatic Paint Tricks
If you can’t afford to buy enough paint to decorate your entire room, a small pot in a dramatic colour will suffice to make an impact. Use a bright, eye-catching colour to paint your door trims, which will refresh the entire space!
Refurbish And Reuse Soft Furnishings
Upcycling is the order of the day, and it’s a low-cost way of decorating your home. Consider reupholstering your outdated soft furnishings or repainting wood furniture in a more modern colour. Think greys, greens, and eggshell colours. Not only will this save you money, but it will also allow you to add modern flair to your space.
Create A Wallpaper Feature Wall
Wallpaper adds a luxurious look to any room, but it can be costly to buy lots of rolls. Often, you can find beautiful single rolls reduced to clear in home décor stores. Pick one up and use it to create a stunning small feature wall. You’ll usually have enough paper on a single roll to wallpaper your chimney breast area or an alcove, and the result will be eye-catching.
Change Your Lamps
Switching your lamp shades is affordable and will refresh any space without costing a fortune. You can use bold, colourful, or unusually-shaped lamp shades as statement pieces in your room to add a touch of personality.
Layer Texture And Pattern With Soft Furnishings
You can create a high-end luxury finish in any room with the power of layering. Layering textures and patterns can be achieved using soft furnishings like throws and cushion covers, which are pretty, practical, and affordable home decorating solutions.
Enhance Your Space With A Mirror
Mirrors are a fantastic addition to any room, making dark, small spaces feel immediately larger and lighter. Add lighting in front of your mirrors to add a true hint of luxury to your room. The soft effect that it creates is dramatic and beautiful.
Replace Your Cabinet Hardware
If your kitchen desperately needs an update, but you can’t afford new cabinets, consider replacing the hardware. This low-cost solution creates a different look for your cabinetry without blowing your entire budget on a new kitchen.

London Youth work to improve the lives of young people in London, challenging them to become the best they can, and last year helped over 27,000 young people through their sports development, youth action and involvement, arts and outdoor education programmes and employment prospects. We feel strongly that all young people should have an opportunity to develop themselves, and so are delighted to be able to support London Youth in their work, providing young people with access to opportunities they might not otherwise have had, to learn new skills, to make a positive change in their communities and to shape the city they live in.
Glass Door helps homeless men and women in London through their large network of emergency shelters and support services. These winter shelters provide a warm welcome, food, safety and shelter for up to 170 people every night. Properly feels passionately about the issue of homelessness. That is why we are delighted that together with our clients we can assist Glass Door in their fantastic work to help some of the most marginalised people in society.
Families become homeless for reasons we can all identify with. We are concerned about people who are struggling to keep things together in our fast-paced world – and we care about those who have no support. We chose the Doorstep Homeless Family Project because they are passionate and effective yet they are a small team with limited funding. They provide homeless families, living in temporary accommodation in London, with access to services to secure the emotional and practical support they require to enjoy a better quality of life.
We need nature and nature needs us. We support The London Wildlife Trust because we share its concern for the environment. We want to ensure that we keep nature in mind as we work in the property market – and crucially, with people’s homes. We also want our employees to engage with nature and benefit from the wellbeing this brings. London Wildlife Trust cares for over 37 of London’s spaces, and their vision is: “a London alive with nature, where everyone can experience and enjoy wildlife”.
I cannot recommend this estate agent enough. Michael and Mariel have been very good to us throughout the process and have made sure everything has been as smooth as possible. They have gone above and beyond to ensure everything was dealt with and in a timely manner too. A great experience throughout!
Mariel and Michael have been absolutely great, by far my best ever experience with an estate agent. Properly is honest, upfront and friendly, responding really quickly to any and all queries and with a lovely personal touch.
Had Michael round for a valuation of our flat – very knowledgeable and friendly and wasn’t pushy at all. When it comes time to sell we’ll definitely be giving Properly a call!
Michael and Mariel have been very helpful from the time I contacted them on a property I was interested to rent and through the offer process. Mariel did a wonderful video call showing of the house since I was not in London at the time. I felt completely comfortable to sign the lease from the video call. Thank you Mariel!
Amazing people, responsive, honest, friendly and professional. Cannot fault them and the type of company, you will go back to again and again.
The service is outstanding. Mariel could not be more helpful and professional. Every individual I engaged with, was well informed and had the full history of conversations. First class service.
Both Michael and Mariel were extremely helpful with our questions going forward whether it be regarding referencing or the property itself. Definitely not the usual estate agent experience (in a good way) and I would recommend Properly to anyone.
We did not feel rushed at all which was great as it really allowed us to really take the property in. We did put down an offer and Properly did a great job in securing a good outcome for both the sellers and ourselves.If you are looking for an agency that will do more than just open the door then look no further.
