Paint
Painting is one of the most affordable ways to transform a space in your home. Paint can be used to change a solid color, apply a texture, or create intricate faux effects that mimic marble, wood, tile, mosaic or any other number of designs and textures. You can make a room appear larger, more intimate, expensive, or casual just with a gallon or two of paint. However if you are not an experienced painter and want to achieve a difficult look, you may need to enlist the talents of a painting professional. Take your time to research and view the portfolios of a number of painters before you choose the one that fits your style the best, as it will cost you a bit of money.Furniture
