“I would have an awesome home if I had plenty of cash”, “I’m not very creative, so I’d need an interior stylist”, “I’ll save until I have enough for an entire redesign.” Sound familiar?
If you’re thinking your home interior is less style and more stale, there are small ways you can update your abode on a budget. So whether your home needs a bit of sprucing up or you're just tired of looking at the same old things, here are the stylish home finds to make it happen under $150:
Tropical:
