Get Rid Of A Small Hole In The Wall
(Warning: This is not an ideal solution when you consider that a tub of filler is often less than $10 🙂 )
Use Toothpaste to Fill Holes. Toothpaste is a great alternative to filler if you have a hole in your wall smaller than 6mm. Squeeze the paste into the hole and wipe off the excess with a putty knife or playing card.
NOTE: You can even paint over toothpaste when it’s dry.
Cushions and Throws
Cushions are a really fun and inexpensive way to start the design scheme of your home. So be brave! Be bold! If you change your mind (not, oops that doesn’t work well together), it doesn’t matter, they’re easy to replace.
You can even tie a favourite scarf or two around a cushion for an instant update. With cushions you can go wild with colour, texture, sequins, fringing etc. and it becomes the focal point of your design scheme. They draw the eye, so the focus is off any not so nice features of your rental.
Driveway Lights
Here is a super inexpensive way to jazz up the front yard and light up the driveway at night. Maybe you need a guide for reversing at night, or you just want to make the place look more like home. Lights also help with security.
