Most homeowners feel that refurbishing or remodeling a house requires a large budget as several expensive changes need to be made to make it look new and different. But this is not always true as though homeowners can make large scale changes to increase or decrease size of their built up area, small changes can also make a significant change in house’s appearance.  Small and creative details can make noticeable changes in the house in a positive manner which will certainly be appreciated by your guests. Here are 12 economical ideas that will make your home’s interiors and exteriors refreshed and worthy of appreciative comments.

1. Paint the walls

Nothing can transform the interior walls as miraculously as a fresh coat of paint. While dark tones bring drama and depth to the walls, neutral tones like white make the walls luminous. Though light tones are more commonly used in the house to make rooms feel spacious and large, sometimes it is mixed up with dark shades to highlight particular pieces of décor in the room.

2. Create a wall
