Living in a big city is a challenge for those just coming to it or do not have a budget that fits the standard of living of it.

Here are some tips from Apartment Therapy that may be useful to enhance your stay.

Add color with new paint and textiles using

Change paint the rooms, once a year, it can be an excellent choice. The important thing here is that you use the color contrast with the floor of the room (which is expensive to change) and employ new or renewed in the quarterfinals of the textiles department, add some cushions to match them with new colors or perhaps a change of blinds or curtains (you buy or you do it yourself).

Modernizing the old family furniture

If you cannot buy furniture, but your family gives you some, you can make some modifications to make them more modern or even leave your house with a minimalist style, decorate only with large cushions as your room or with some tables for use in the room that you yourself can make.

Purchase decor and furniture prices varied but tasteful

If you budget for buying furniture or household items, it is recommended that you seek affordable prices and if you find something you really like a high price, but you can absorb it, buy it.

Do It Yourself

Like I said, there are some things you can do yourself without spending much money, as some wood shelves that can paint according to the tone of the room where you are placing. You can also put shelves dining tubes Home Depot, pine planks (from a local sawmill), for example (idea Apartment Therapy).

Customize your home with artwork and accessories

You can become a great artist to put posters or make own paintings on the walls of the rooms of your apartment. Sounds crazy, but it could be a great idea, innovative and inexpensive.
