If you want a new sofa but can't afford it, that's going to change the way you are. I sincerely believe that the first thing you should consider is your budget. If you want a new sofa but can't afford it, that will change the way you design your room. Living room decor can add up quickly, so I suggest you make a list of all the things you need and then compare it to what you can afford. First of all, you need to start with why.
Undertaking a remodel without a clear purpose can lead to unsatisfactory results and a waste of time and effort. Start by asking yourself why you're remodeling. Is it to accommodate a growing family, update an outdated style, or increase the value of your home? Your “why” will guide every decision, from budget to materials.
