🎀 Low Budget Materials 🎀 Having only a minimal budget but dreaming of having a beautiful, aesthetic, but also functional house, makes me so detailed in calculating the price of the materials that I will use. After looking for references and also looking for replacement items with a lower budget, finally this is what the living room in my house looks like. My under-stairs storage cabinet was customized at a carpenter on the side of the road near my house, I chose Dutch teak wood which is quite strong but the price is below other materials, then coated it with HPL because duco paint is quite expensive, I also bought the handle myself on e-commerce so that it suits my wishes and the price is affordable, don't forget to give a touch of motion sensor lights underneath to make it more luxurious even though the price is cheap 😌 I deliberately made this storage cabinet not full, so that I could make a bench to sit and relax instead of a sofa, because my living room is quite spacious. I bought the foam, cover, and pillows myself, to save money compared to having to order them from a furniture store, ehehehe 😅 For the first floor of my house, I chose to use glossy granite from the beginning of construction and have not replaced it with vinyl, spc, or the like that are currently hyped, because I think it's not urgent and the budget has not been prepared, if I get bored I just change the carpet to change the atmosphere, and the carpet in this living room is also very cheap 💸 Instead of using wooden wall molding, I prefer to use gypsum list to reduce the budget, also using fairly affordable wall paint. For the door, I use meranti wood material, because if it were teak wood, it would definitely be very expensive 🥹 I am also still sticking with this 4-year-old sofa bed, because it still feels sufficient and I don't have the budget to buy a more proper sofa, psssttt the price is only 1 million, you know 🤩 Even for the table in the living room, I bought the materials myself. The table top uses 120x60cm granite which is then cut into 100cm and the legs use painted hollow iron. The total price is cheaper than buying a similar table that is ready-made. Actually, almost all the materials and decorations in my house are low budget, because the concept of this house is like that; beautiful but low budget. I want to influence my friends not to be afraid of having a beautiful house, a beautiful house is not always expensive, as long as we are smart in choosing items, are willing to bother looking for substitute items, and are willing to learn to mix and match so that it is pleasing to the eye. Let's upgrade the atmosphere of the house together to be more comfortable and beautiful 🩵 #LivingRoom #MinimalistLivingRoom #Custom Cabinet #Bench #Sofabed #WallMoulding #Glossy Granite #WallPaint #LivingRoomTable #CoffeeTable #RenovationMaterial #CheapMaterial #AffordableRenovation
