Tips for Updating Your Holiday Lodge on a Budget

As the season changes, it’s a great time to update your holiday lodge and create a cosy feel for the autumn and winter. Here are seven tips and ideas for updating your holiday lodge on a budget.

  1. Front door and hallway

Placing a flower pot by the front door can give the approach to your holiday lodge a welcoming feel. As the weather changes you don’t have to worry about keeping it watered as nature will probably do that for you! Plant some daffodil or tulip bulbs for spring colour and add evergreen herbs or ferns, which are easy to look after and look great too.

The hallway is somewhere that often gets neglected and can easily get cluttered with shoes and coats. Adding a shoe rack and/or some extra hooks, can help to give it an updated and uncluttered look. Also, adding a mirror can easily transform a space, creating a lighter more modern feel.

  1. Add indoor plants or flowers

Houseplants are right on trend at the moment and there are lots available, so you’re sure to find one that looks good, doesn’t need much looking after and will suit the conditions that your holiday lodge has to offer. Greenery is an easy way to update a space, and if you want something that requires no maintenance at all, then go for some artificial plants. Sometimes, it’s hard to tell the difference and they provide a convenient, low-cost alternative.

  1. Soft furnishings

Another tip for updating your holiday lodge on a budget is to refresh your soft-furnishings. Adding a pop of colour with scatter cushions, a rug or a thrown can brighten up a room. You could have some for spring/summer and others for autumn/winter, which you swap over when the season changes. This means that you don’t need to buy new ones when you fancy a change.

  1. Lighting

Updating the lighting in your holiday lodge can give it a cosy feel, or make it more comfortable as you spend more time indoors. Adding a reading lamp or table lamp can enhance the experience of spending time in your holiday lodge. In addition, just adding a new lampshade can give a new look to a small space.

  1. Bed linen

Adding new bed linen, a throw or scatter cushions can easily refresh a bedroom. If you don’t want to invest in new bed linen but your existing duvet covers are looking a bit tired, then consider dyeing them with fabric dye. This is easy and cheap to do and can bring a colour and interest to your bedroom.

  1. Upcycle furniture

The vintage look is one of the interior design trends for 2024/25, which is a great tip when updating your holiday lodge on a budget. You can paint wooden furniture in eggshell or chalk paint and there’s a huge palette of colours to choose from. Also, embrace second-hand furniture and see what you can find in charity or vintage shops. By upcycling a coffee table or chest of drawers, for example, you give it a new lease of life and give your holiday lodge a unique look.

  1. Pictures

A new picture on the wall can really update the interior of your holiday lodge on a budget. There are so many low-cost options, and a good tip is to start with a simple frame in black or white. Framing a sheet of wrapping paper is a great idea for brightening up a room on a budget. It’s available in so many colours and designs, you’re sure to find something to suit your taste. If you’re looking for something more personal, you can frame greetings cards that you’ve received or have some treasured family photographs printed and display those.
