It is possible to make repairs on a small budget if you plan your expenses correctly and use creative approaches.

The first step is to make a list of the necessary materials and tools. Estimate the scope of work: simple repair of walls and ceilings or a complete redesign of the premises.

Then select the most necessary materials and decide where it is worth saving, says Yulia Tychino .

For example, instead of expensive wallpaper, you can use more affordable non-woven or vinyl analogues.

It is also recommended to look for power and hand tools at affordable prices. Open various websites to find the best deals on building materials and tools.

Doing repairs yourself will also help you save money. Learn to do some types of work yourself. And for complex tasks, it is better to hire a professional, for example, if you need electrical installation or plumbing.

Additional budget can be saved if you use old materials that are easier to update. For example, change furniture handles, door fittings, repaint kitchen cabinets.

Finally, don't forget about the possibility of using free tools and services.

Check to see if there are any repair programs or classes in your area that are offered for free or at a reasonable cost. You can also reach out to friends and family who may have additional equipment that you need.

It is important to remember that if you are planning a renovation and your budget is limited, you will have to be patient and spend extra time.

However, by following simple tips and saving money on unnecessary expenses, you can create a new interior without spending a lot.
