Give Your Home a New Look in 2019

If you are looking to improve your home in 2019, these five budget-friendly DIY ideas should give your property a new lease of life. Whether you are looking for a new design scheme, a new project or you just fancy a change, try one of these home improvements for a great modern look. There are a number of ways you can fund your new home improvements - one of which is through making savings in your household budget. You may have received some money recently or you could claim back PPI and use the funds to renovate your home. It's always good to get great value for your home, and these budget-friendly ideas won't break the bank!

Lovely Lighting

One great way you can improve your home environment is to change up your lighting. We rarely think about our light choices, but they can make a significant impact on your home. Many of 2019's top interior trends revolve around mindfulness, wellness and creating a home that is good for you. A Circadian lighting is a huge trend, which uses light to help you relax at night and wake up full of energy in the morning. Changing your light bulbs may seem like a small thing, but the benefits to your home and wellness are impressive. Geometric lights, soft lamps and quirky fairy lights are other on-trend lighting updates too.

Bold Colourful Walls


A fresh coat of paint is a quick, easy and cost-effective way to brighten up your home. This year, some of the most popular colours are bold and bright, helping you to feel energised and positive. The colour of the year - Living Coral - is a great choice, as is the ever-popular blush pink. These warm tones are great for a beautiful and welcoming home.

Industrial Exteriors

The industrial trend is still popular in 2019, and this simple and classic look is perfect for outside. Think about adding some industrial touches to your back garden. Metal benches, statement exterior lights and exposed brickwork make for a stylish and sophisticated look. The industrial trend is excellent if you enjoy upcycling and repurposing too - think bathtub planters and benches made of railway sleepers!

Painted Tile Floors

This is a great way to get a high-end look, without having to shell out for expensive patterned tiles. Geometric and decorative tiles are incredibly popular this year. A beautiful patterned floor is so on trend and this look can be created by using tile paint and stencils. This is a great way to modernise an outdated tile floor, and you can choose a colour that complements your house perfectly. Whether you want a bohemian style bathroom or an Italian style kitchen floor, a painted tile floor is a stylish and budget-friendly home improvement.

Stylish Storage

Storage space is always welcome in any home, and in 2019, storage has become stylish. Floating shelves are a great way to display your favourite home accents, and they are cheap and easy to put up. Look for floating shelf kits in DIY stores, or even take a look at some quirky options like hexagon shelves, rope hung shelves and modular storage units. Ottomans and storage trunks are another stylish storage solution, and they can be upcycled if you want to put your own spin on them.
