Since the price of everything has gone up, you’re staying home more often to save money . But to truly enjoy your home, you have to have a space that you actually want to stay in. You don’t have to spend a ton of money to elevate your space. Check out these finds from Ikea that are $5 or under to help you refresh your home on a budget.
Instead of pinning your prized photos to the wall or taping them, elevate the look of your space with a collage frame from Ikea. You’ll be able to fit four photos in the interconnected frame. If you want to take it to the next level, pair it with a few 5X7 Yllevad frames for $1.49 and another collage frame to create a gallery wall.
Adding potted plants can breathe life into your space. If it’s your first venture into planthood, getting an easy-to-care-for plant like the Dragon Tree can help elevate your space without the hefty price tag.
When you come home, do you throw down your keys and sunglasses wherever? That could be making your space feel more cluttered. An easy way to get organized is by creating a landing spot for your essentials. Ikea’s Havrekross wall organizer could help you have a dedicated spot to leave your keys, headphones, or anything else you need before walking out the door.
For more experienced plant parents, you might try creating a plant wall in your home with Ikea’s Klotthuja plant potholder. This steel potholder can be mounted directly on your wall to help your plants get the sunlight they need while creating the indoor jungle you’ll love.
Refresh the look of your couch or bedroom with cushion covers that add a pop of color and texture. The Svartpoppel cushion cover from Ikea comes in five colors, zips around your pillows, and adds a fun, fluffy texture to your space.
Quality glassware can make even a glass of water feel classy. If you have a random assortment of plastic cups, you could switch them out for the classic design of these Ikea Pokal glasses. A pack of six 9-ounce glasses costs only $4.99.
Although these are labeled as sauce dishes, you could also use them to place your trinkets on a nightstand at the end of the day. If you’re anything like me, your nightstand can quickly get cluttered with hair ties, earrings, or rings that get taken off before bed. For just $2.49, you could give yourself a dedicated space to put those trinkets and wake up feeling far less disorganized.
Keeping fresh flowers can get expensive, but dried flowers last far longer while still making your home feel elevated. Grab a dried bouquet of lavender flowers to bring some freshness to your space.
A small vase with a stem or two of a dried flower can look very elegant. It could also inspire you to walk around your neighborhood or a local park and pick a flower to display when you get home.
Keep your coffee table and furniture looking just like the day you bought it with a set of coasters. These come in a pack of four and are perfect to go with a coastal or bohemian-themed home.
If you’re down for an easy DIY project, try changing up the knobs on your dresser, bathroom, or kitchen drawers for a more elevated look. Ikea’s two-pack of knobs is just $4.99. A little elbow grease and a new set of knobs could take your old furniture from drab to fab in no time.
