Hey everyone! Welcome back to the Baghdad Street project. As you can see, there's a ton of progress happening behind me. Today, we're outside because they're spraying the paint inside, which is super exciting since we're finally getting to the finishing touches. Speaking of finishes, I wanted to share some tips on how you can achieve budget-friendly, fun finishes in your home. Let's dive in!
1. Tile: A Little Goes a Long Way
Tiles can be quite pricey, often running around $50 per square foot. However, if you use them in small spaces, you won't spend as much while still making a significant impact. For instance, I'm using a beautiful tile behind the vent hood in the kitchen, another for the shower floor, and a third one for a niche in one of the bathrooms. These are all small areas, but they add a lot of character and style.
2. Luxury Vinyl Tile (LVT): Affordable and Stylish
LVT is a fantastic, budget-friendly flooring option. I always get mine from Home Depot. It's an affordable product that works exceptionally well, is easy to install, and looks great. The specific product I love is called Bassinet Elkus from the LifeProof series. It's a perfect choice for those looking to save money without sacrificing style.
3. Wallpaper: Fun and Affordable
Wallpaper can bring a lot of interest and fun to any space. It's relatively inexpensive and can transform a room completely. For example, the wallpaper I'm using in my daughter's room is from Spoonflower, which I found on Etsy. It's a delightful addition that adds personality without breaking the bank.
Conclusion
There you have it—three budget-friendly ways to add fun finishes to your home. Whether it's using tiles in small spaces, opting for LVT from Home Depot, or incorporating some playful wallpaper, these tips can help you create a stylish and inviting home without spending a fortune.
