Top Ten Budget Home Improvements
By [http://ezinearticles.com/?expert=Keith_Barrett]Keith Barrett

We all like to have a beautiful home but costs can sometimes be prohibitive when it comes to home improvements. In this article we take a closer look at 10 great improvements that can be made on a small budget.

What we've looked at are a combination of factors. Ideally, we've identified improvements that will brighten up your living space, while also hopefully increasing the resale value of your home.

So here's our top ten:

1. Paint interior walls: It may sound obvious but painting is usually a very cheap solution for brightening up a room. It doesn't involve an enormous amount of skill, but can have a massive impact.

2. Use soft furnishings: In particular, don't forget that cushions, rugs and throws can be used to make significant changes to a room.

3. Install a feature: This needn't be dramatic - something like a fire in the living room can work well.

4. Tidy up the garden: The garden can be a fun place to relax, but only if you're not surrounded by weeds. A little work can produce big rewards.

5. Paint your front door: Once again, a cheap solution but you'll be surprised by the impact that it can have.

6. Make a piece of furniture: Something like a coffee table can be cheap to make and yet still look impressive.

7. Clean the windows: Your windows are your view out into the world, but only if you can see throw them!

8. Make use of lighting: There are so many different forms of lighting on the market and they can all make a real difference.

9. Have a spring clean: It will cost you next to nothing but some proper cleaning can transform any home.

10. Relax!: Once you've done the work, don't forget to relax and enjoy your new home!

Too many people make the mistake of constantly attempting to improve the property, without ever making the time to enjoy the fruits of their labour.

Don't make the same mistake - all of our top ten tips offer great advice, but the tenth tip may be the most important of all!
