You don’t always need to buy new furniture or do a major renovation to get the impression of a new home. Some simple tricks can be done for this purpose, ranging from covering old stains to thoroughly clean the corners and utensils.

Stains on the walls or peeling paint are the most obvious part that often makes the house look dull. Exposure to air and daily activities of residents were also very likely to leave stains and marks on the walls.

Although it seems simple, covering the house that looks dirty will effectively give a new impression. This trick also doesn’t cost too much. Just simply repaint a wall that is dull or stained.

When it comes to choosing the right sized bed for your bedroom, you might be forgiven to think that there are only a few options: single, double, king… But actually, you have more options than you think. So, before you struggle to fit that double into a space it’s not suited for, take a look at our guide on choosing the right bed for your room.

I needed a cheap bed that I could use for the year, so I went to Sleep Matters to see which ones were good for a poor student like myself who was on a tight budget. I found a pretty good memory foam mattress that could be shipped to my apartment in just a few days.

I had to go to a store that sells cheap furniture to buy a desk and a night stand for my room. While the furniture is cheap, anyone who buys it has to assemble it themselves, which isn’t always easy. …

One of the aspects of owning a home which very few people think about is pipe insulation and the importance thereof. Realistically speaking, many builders do not even consider pipe insulation. Not equipping a new or refurbished home with pipe insulation is the first and easiest way for builders and homeowners to save on building and renovation costs.
