Home improvement on a budget: 5 affordable ways to spruce up your living space

As the year progresses, maintaining a welcoming and enjoyable home for your family and guests can become challenging. However, costly remodeling and renovations are not the only options. You can start by implementing small and inexpensive changes to spruce up your living space. Here are some cost-efficient ideas to improve your home without breaking the bank.

Optimize Your Monthly Subscriptions

Ensure that your home caters to your needs without straining your budget. Review your monthly subscriptions for cable, internet, or streaming services and evaluate if they provide value for money. Consider consolidating your subscriptions or switching to a more cost-effective option.

For instance, when selecting an internet subscription, prioritize finding the right speed for your daily requirements. SKY Fiber offers affordable plans tailored for casual browsing, streaming, or remote work. As an added benefit, their Super Speed Plans are currently enhanced until December 31 due to a free speed boost promotion. For example, you can subscribe to the 20Mbps Plan for only P999/month and enjoy speeds of up to 30Mbps until year-end. Alternatively, the Plan 30Mbps, priced at P1,299/month, provides speeds of up to 75Mbps at no additional cost until the end of the year.

Rearrange and Refresh Your Living Spaces

A simple rearrangement of furniture and reorganization of your living and work areas can make a significant impact on the overall atmosphere of your home. Experiment with different layouts and placements to create a fresh and inviting environment. Consider relocating your workspace to an area with ample sunlight and minimal noise, as this can enhance your productivity.

Declutter and Sell Unwanted Items Online

Avoid accumulating clutter, as it can make your home appear untidy. Identify items, appliances, or devices that you rarely use and assess their condition. Discard broken or unusable items, and consider giving away or selling functional ones to generate some extra income.

With a reliable internet connection, you can easily sell your preloved items on various secondhand buy-and-sell platforms or social media. Numerous apps are available to assist you in managing inquiries from potential buyers and coordinating deliveries.

Invest in Durable Furniture, Appliances, and Storage Solutions

When considering new purchases for your home, opt for durable and multipurpose furniture, appliances, and storage solutions. These investments will provide long-term value while helping you maintain an organized living space. Look for items such as couches that can double as additional beds or ottomans that offer extra storage. By utilizing multifunctional pieces, you not only maximize utility but also save space for your family.

DIY Home Improvement Projects

Engage in simple do-it-yourself (DIY) projects to enhance your home. Small tasks like replacing dim light bulbs, creating a hanging garden, or applying a fresh coat of paint to walls and furniture can instantly brighten up your living space. DIY projects not only save money but also offer an opportunity to personalize your home. You can find numerous online resources and tutorial videos to guide you through the process.

By implementing these cost-efficient ideas, you can transform your home without incurring substantial expenses. Remember that a reliable internet connection can be instrumental in facilitating several of these improvements. Take advantage of the ongoing promotions for SKY Fiber Super Speed Plans, which offer boosted speeds until December 31 and free installation until July 31 with the presentation of a valid ID.

Keepr Declutter Challenge

“January is the perfect time to declutter,” shares Keepr Storage PH founder, Anna Moncupa. “Starting the new year free of clutter sets a very good tone for the rest of the year. I spread it out in 30 days so it’s not overwhelming and very attainable despite one’s busy schedule.”

The whole challenge was developed to ensure the home is always ready for frequent family gatherings. We can keep what we want, with the allowance to have space for more. But most importantly, it allows us to donate and discard what we can, instead of putting everything in storage.”
