If you have budget just enough just for one particular thing, then you must consider investing in painting. This is an easy and effective makeover solution. If you cannot afford to get the entire house or an entire room done, just get one wall painted. For example, you can opt to paint one wall in a focal colour or paint your ceiling a shade lighter than the walls of the room. Or you can also consider painting a rectangle area behind your sofa to use as a gallery space, where you can arrange your favourite wall-hangings or paintings.
