Give your front door a new look

“A fresh lick of paint and some new decorations can give the entrance to your home a whole new look without breaking the budget,” Brookman says.

“And if you can’t paint, why not introduce an autumn wreath and a new doormat to welcome guests to your home? It makes a great first impression and is a low-cost way to keep your home updated throughout the seasons.”

Bring in a new rug

“Introducing a new rug can add warmth and definition to any space, particularly if you have hard flooring,” Brookman suggests.

“Fend off icy toes by placing rugs in well-travelled spots, or layer them to create cosiness. This is also an easy way to add colour and texture to your floors.”
